Theoretically it is 3% more efficient in its use of power. Realistically you will notice no difference. This power supply is a pure luxury supply. There are more powerful, cheaper supplies, but this one is built like a 1970s Mercedes Benz. Rock solid luxury, for a price.
yes you would if you change the cable. the other thing you should care about is the voltage. here in the US it's 110V. If Singapore runs on 220V like a great part of the world, I would check first on evga site or download the manual to see if the power supply is dual 110/220. It should be but it's worth checking.
If you are only able to run a 6+2 by2 or whatever then run that. Any card will run fine and there is no need to stress. HOWEVER more Recently it has been found that very power hungery cards actually like having individual cables for every plug. Its a small gain but there is one to be found do to voltage drop across a p…

I don't hear coil whine on mine. Although mine is the 1000PS, slightly different model than yours. The only setback for mine is the information sticker at the side is upside down.
I am running AMD 9590, ASUS CrofssfireV FormulaZ MOBO, 16G Corsair Vengance RAM, AMD 6950 video, all of these components are very power hungry, and my total system draw never exceeds exceeds 480W. I see no reason why an R9280x would put that much additional burden on the PSU. I would say you are safe.
I don't know for sure. I do know that some brands will interchange. With a quick web search, I did not find info on this subject within the first few hits. But I have accidentally plugged non-evga modular cords into my evga and it failed to power with one cord, and worked fine with other non EVGA cords. Although I had …

I don't know for sure. I do know that some brands will interchange. With a quick web search, I did not find info on this subject within the first few hits. But I have accidentally plugged non-evga modular cords into my evga and it failed to power with one cord, and worked fine with other non EVGA cords. Although I had no part failures, I don't do this on purpose and still try not to do it. Could I possibly fry something with another combination?
You could examine your cords by shield color and/or use a tester to verify exact end to end compatibilty if you wanted. I personally do not do this and I try to keep my cords with the same brand of power supply. Some brands do not even interchange between models, so you have to be on your guard here. My two Corsairs interchange so I am safe. All my EVGA power supplies interchange, which makes things easy since I have more EVGA than any other.
