I'm working on an older PC and its ENERMAX EG651AX-VH PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103447) has blown. I cannot find a replacement and I'm having difficulty figuring out a conversion to decide on a new compatible one. The PC motherboard is a TYAN S2895 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151148).

The PC only has two HDD, one optical drive, and one graphics card so the power requirement isn't that high - only difficult due to the board requirements. The board has diagnosed issues with Antec from when it came out already. Also, I'm having issues translating the +12V to today's PSUs and EPS12V PSUs.

Specifics on the board requirements from the manual can be found page 38 of the manual at ftp://ftp.tyan.com/manuals/m_s2895_101.pdf.

Thanks for any suggestions / help!
 
PSU's today can use single or multi-rail +12v setups. Some can be configured as both. EPS12V is referring to using the 8-PIN CPU power connector which most better quality power supplies will have as well. I'd think that whatever version of ATX/EPS spec. newer models are, they would be backward compatible with older boards. Split-plane from PDF is probably referring to multi-rail PSU.

Sol I'm looking at the Coolmax ZP-750B (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159114) as a possible replacement, but I'm concerned for reasons above and for other reasons. Even if I put aside the EPS12V issues and assume newer ATX12V/EPS12V PSUs will satisfy and account for the 24pin/8pin configurations, the 3.3v and 5v amps are never as high on newer PSUs as they were for that Enermax. I'm uncertain if this will be an issue or not. All other numbers can match up well enough otherwise I think...
