[SOLVED] ATX12VO System - Do I need anything specific?

[TrainNutter]

Hi!

I'm looking into building a new system and I'm interested in making it run on the new ATX12VO standard. Other than the PSU, do I need any specific components when running 12V?

And for mid-range system, what components are reccomended?

My budget is around £1,100 before tax.
I'm looking at an

ATX B550 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X,
Nvidia RTX3070 Founders
16GB 3200MHz Ram,
650W or 750W PSU
Corsair 465X Case

Side note, What's EPS12V?

Kind Regards,
TrainNutter

No, there's no real difference in a new, quality power supply. Good power supplies have long been generating their +3.3V and +5V power from +12V.

EPS12V is just the eight-pin CPU connector.

Ah ok!

Basicly if I got an ATX12V PSU, it doesnt matter?

The motherboard will have to support ATX12VO aswell as the PSU. I have yet to see any ATX12VO boards or PSUs available yet(outside the proprietary OEM market) and where ATX12VO is an Intel standard AMD may not even adopt it.

Ah how annoying.

Lets hope that AMD adopts ATX12V (Maybe with future Zen 4?)

The industry has generally been uninterested in this. PSU makers are making modular cables that can output instead to a cable with the correct adapter for those Nvidia Founders cards, but there's little move to adopt this standard. Worrying about this now is like trying to be one of those people to import an HDTV from Japan in the late 1980s and then finding it's a decade before any content would actually do anything with it.
