No matter how manufacturers try to attract customers with advanced power supplies, people always vote with a wallet. Neither modular cables, nor RGB lighting, nor Japanese capacitors force a person to give a third of the low-cost for a power source. So it turns out that the flagship products mostly go to exhibitions, and most gamers buy simple, affordable and reliable power sources like Deepcool Nova.


Along with Aurora, Nova is another "folk" series in the Deepcool range. These are relatively simple, affordable and, most importantly, reliable power supplies with an efficiency of 80 Plus. Despite the fact that the manufacturer decided to save on a bronze certificate, according to the passport, good energy efficiency is claimed in the region of 85% at a "typical load". The electronics of the main 12-volt line keeps the voltage stable with a small number of drawdowns and ripples.

In the name of the idea of making it high-quality and affordable, Deepcool engineers put literally everything under the knife. There is no backlight, there is no software for controlling the turntable, there is also no beautiful packaging. At the same time, the cables are too short, the appearance is as mundane as possible, there is nothing in the box except the power supply itself. Such is asceticism. But instead of a two-year warranty, as is customary in the low-cost segment, Deepcool gives a 5-year warranty on all Nova models. With all that said, these power supplies are most often bought for inexpensive gaming assemblies with Ryzen 5-caliber processors and an RTX 2070-level graphics card.

The range of the Nova series is represented by versions for 450, 500, 550, 600 and 650 watts. The younger model can be bought in some stores for $ 35, while the 650-watt version will cost the buyer $ 45.
