Regularly changing computer hardware enthusiasts, looking for Haswell CPU, will have to not only buy a new motherboard, equipped with a socket LGA 1150, but look closely at the existing power supply: for correct operation of new CPU from Intel the latter must comply with a number of very specific requirements .
For Enermax PSU owners there is no need to worry , this manufacturer is the first to react to the news about Intel requirements and has published a very extensive list of PD models able to implement the energy-saving potential of Haswell processors. The German peripherals manufacturer , the company Listan GmbH & Co. KG (be quiet!), Also reported about the readiness of their power supplies to meet Haswell processors .
The compatible models were Dark Power Pro P10, Straight Power E9, Pure Power L8, Pure Power L8CM, Pure Power L7 capacity of 630 and 730 watts and System Power 7. Older models of power supplies - Dark Power Pro P9, Straight Power E8, Pure Power L7 power up to 530 watts, TFX and SFX - provide only partial compatibility with Haswell processors. German engineers are currently conducting research to identify problems-that can arise when using these models PSU with new Intel solutions .
