most new power supplys will work with most mb. the only issues that cropped up last year is the new haswell cpu and how low there sleep state is. some older non digital power supplys had issues with haswell sleep states.

Mostly just a hype since they proclaimed the idle state. Buy a proper one and there will be no issues with Haswell

but if you don't care about power usage then the sleep states don't matter. overclockers always disable almost all power saving features for stability. the power usage increase from disabling sleep states aren't too significant

They have a list of those PSUs that were okay to use with Haswell. I'm surprised I didn't see that list on Tom's....

So here's The Tech Report's list, just in case you need it...

Not entirely true tho, some crap psu's actually fails on extreme voltage drops. They are shit. If you buy Corsair or similar quality, then you will never have that issue

There are tons of bad hardware out there, don't be blinded by numbers. Learn specs and input/output

some corsair units have problems, mainly the CX series

Yes, if you get a graphics card that needs extra power make sure it has the PCIe power leads for it.

Mother of god, i'm glad i buy proper stuff that lasts For my sake i never save cash on the PSU, never

"Mother of God", what's up Rune? Did I or someone say something outrageous?
