PSU to MB compatibility

zeeckjordan · Mar 21, 2013

hey guys! need a lil help on this one.. I have A Gigabyte Z77-D3H MB and it has a 4pin ATX(1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector, 1 x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector).. I want to replace my PSU with corsair GS 800W. but it has an EPS connector(ATX Connector1 EPS Connector1).. Will that Power Supply work with my motherboard?

If you look at the FAQ in this page, you will notice that the 8-pin connector splits in half and will work with your motherboard:

As for the PSU, I believe you can buy a much better one for the same cost. How much are you spending?

Thank you. I'm A beginner and just made my 1st Rig.. and I need to change my psu and was confused whether it would be compatible for an ATX 4 pin with an EPS

The bad news is that I live an a 3rd world country (Philippines) and the only brands that are sold here (that are really easy to find) are Antec, Silverstone, and Corsair.. and so far the GS series is the cheapest one.. sad that Sea sonic is so hard to find in philippines. The GS here that im going to buy is worth 5.5k php.. thats around $134 USD

Very sad indeed. The XFX 850W PRO is also an alternavie. All XFX power supplies are manufactured by Seasonic. It's not like the Corsair GS is a bad PSU, though. Considering the lack of options, it may be the best choice.

Thanks for your opinion Murissokah.. I read alot of articles about PSUs.. and yes.. the best I've heard is the SEASONIC.. I like Silverstone too bud it has alot of bad reviews also with antec (both of them compared to Corsair). Not to mention they are way too expensive.. so thanks guys! I will surely buy the GS cause its all I can afford. 1000W would be good but its overkill for my rig. xD
