EVGA FAQ - How do I test my power supply?
July 24, 2020 - In order to test your EVGA power supply, the first thing you will want to try is known as the jumper test (aka the PSU paper-clip test, jump starting, etc.) as this will allow us to verify the device's functionality without needing it to be connected to any other components from your system.

Faulty (maybe dead) PSU, EVGA wants paperclip test. How do I do it w/o cable or jumper?
Hello, I recently RMA'd my EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 gs. I got the replacement, it worked for several days, and then one morning my computer refused to turn on. I could see the light on my motherboard on, but hitting the power didn't do anything. So I took my old PSU since I didn't ship it back... More on forums.tomshardware.com

Power supply test
When you replaced the PSU, did you leave the cables in place and reuse them? That might be your problem. When you replace a PSU, it's recommended that you also replace the cables (use the cables that came with the PSU), because there is no standard pinout for cables, even within a single manufacturer. Here's a link that shows you which EVGA PSU cables are compatible with which other EVGA PSUs More on reddit.com

r/buildapc on Reddit: [Troubleshooting] Testing a Evga Nex650G power supply
June 14, 2015 -

I just tried to move my PC into a new case and I can not get it to power on for the life of me. I've check'ed all my connections 20 times now and I still can't find anything of note.

The way I see it is either I fried my Motherboard during the switch or that my PSU has decided to die on me. I'm more inclined to believe the board is fried because it has a little green LED that lights up when I connect it to the PSU but I can't completely rule out the PSU being faulty or only partially working.

So for the main part of my question, Do any of you know if there is a way to test an Evga Nex650G without having access to another computer or a multimeter?

r/EVGA on Reddit: Power supply test
April 21, 2023 -

Last year I bought a psu EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan. When I hooked it up to my pc it wouldn’t boot, I then reinstalled my old power supply and it booted fine. So I just put the Evga power supply away because it was past the 30 days of original purchase and couldn’t be returned on Amazon. Well I just bought a 4070 and while I probably don’t need to upgrade my psu I was thinking I might as well since I already have one not in use.

I know I have a 10 year warranty so before I send it back to Evga I was wondering if I keep the psu I have in my computer now (seasonic gm-550 gold) and plug in the Evga psu outside my case can I run both psu and test the cables one by one on my Evga to see if its just one of the cables that’s the problem? When I press the “test” button on the Evga psu the fan spins and it sounds like it’s running that’s why I assume it’s potentially just a cable that’s the issue, but I don’t want to damage any components and I don’t have a multimeter or know how to use one. I think it’s the 24 pin Atx motherboard cable and the price to replace the cable would be cheaper than the RMA shipping cost.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

r/buildapc on Reddit: Testing an EVGA PSU with Auto-Eco Mode
April 19, 2021 -

No help needed here; just posting this for the record in case someone is on the internet looking for an answer like I was an hour ago. Maybe the answer is obvious, but I'm new to this all, and it wasn't obvious to me.

Some EVGA PSUs are equipped with a feature called "Auto-Eco Mode" whereby the fan will only activate if the PSU gets hot enough. This is distinct from other EVGA PSUs with (manual) Eco Mode, which have a switch to manually enable or disable Eco Mode.

When running a paperclip/self test an EVGA PSU with Auto-Eco, you should expect the fan to start briefly, then stop.

I confirmed this with EVGA support over the phone. For some reason, this isn't explained in the PSU manual or on EVGA's website (that I could find).

February 10, 2021 - These testers bridge the power on signal pins. It's the same as pressing the power button on your case and the motherboard sending the power on signal to the PSU.
