Advanced Features

VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MONITORING

EVGA SuperNova software allows you to monitor your power supply’s performance in real time, so you can 
gauge your system’s power usage and your power supply’s health. SuperNOVA allows you to monitor up to six 
performance characteristics at once, including the voltage of all rails, output current, input current and voltage, fan 
speed, power consumption, efficiency, and more! Finally, you can adjust the output of your +12V rail from 11.8V to 
12.6V or anywhere in-between for maximum overclocking performance. SuperNova can be downloaded at 
EVGA.com

OVERCLOCK YOUR POWER SUPPLY

At EVGA, we know that squeezing the best performance out of your system sometimes means taking risks. 
Therefore we offer the ability to raise the trip point of this unit’s Over Power Protection, to allow the unit to be 
overloaded to a degree. In effect, your 1500W power supply becomes a 1650W power supply, allowing you to 
push your system to its limits. You can enable this feature through our SuperNOVA software, or by manual switch 
located on the power supply next to the on/off switch – DIP switch #2.  

Note:

 EVGA “OC Mode” will only work with 230VAC input. If user activates OC Mode on 115VAC input the OC 

Mode will be disabled and the Over Current and Over Power protections will remain set at 1500W.

SINGLE / MULTIPLE RAIL TOGGLE

The NEX-1500 comes with Over Current Protection on the +12V rail enabled by default, dividing it into 

eight 20A 

(240W) +12V rails

. This protects your system and the power supply from 

overloading

 and certain types of 

short 

circuit

. This protection should normally be invisible to overclockers and has 

no effect on power supply 

performance or efficiency

. However, under extreme conditions it may be possible to trip the multi-rail +12V OCP 

on accident, causing the power supply to shut down. In these situations we allow you to disable multi-rail +12V 
OCP, turning it into a 

single rail

 power supply. This can be done through our SuperNOVA software, or by manual 

switch located on the power supply next to the on/off switch – DIP switch #3.

MANUAL FAN CONTROL

The NEX-1500 has a PWM controlled fan that balances cooling performance and efficiency versus noise and fan 
wear. However, fan control is fully adjustable via our SuperNOVA software. (

NOTE:

 If a low fan speed is insufficient 

to keep the power supply cool, user input may be overridden to prevent unit Over Temperature shutdown). If noise 
levels and fan wear are not a concern for you, you can manually set the fan speed to 100% via a manual switch 
located on the power supply next to the on/off switch – DIP switch #4.
