PSU compatability with Haswell concern

Solution


If it was anything but a PSU, I'd say go for it. However, it's most definitely not worth the $300+ risk of frying your MoBo , etc. Just wait until you can get your hands on a good PSU. Also, if you put it in now, you will have to re-route your cables when you get a new PSU.

It's always good to read the reviews before buying something. To be honest, I would see about asking Newegg and returning it, as it's really unsafe to have a PSU which is likely to fry your parts. Just go with a good, 650W PSU (like the Seasonic M12II) which will behave similar to the Rosewill, except without blowing up. :)

Thanks for the speedy answer. I was hasty in my purchase because I saw that it had 4 eggs yet some people had terrible experiences. I guess I'll have to purchase a new one in the near future. Is it even worth assembling the comp with that psu or should I just opt for a new one?
