is PSU compatible with motherboard

jterrenceg · Aug 18, 2014

I'm needing to upgrade my PSU.. currently 350 watt to 750 watt.
question is will it work with ASUS F2 A55- m motherboard?

Ubrales · Aug 18, 2014

Go ahead - PSUs are completely independent of the motherboard. The PSU is a power source and does not care which motherboard it is supplying power to.

Yeah that motherboard will be fine. If you don't mind me offering, if you let us know your budget and region we can suggest some good PSU's. If you've already got one then that's fine, just thought I'd offer some help

What are your specs and what PSU do you have your sights on?

Here's a great deal on a Super Flower 750w B2 Semi-modular.

I'm looking at a Corsair RM750 at fry's they have it in stock yea it is a little pricey but it is the right size and has all of the pi 6 connectors that i need

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 18, 2014

The RM series power supplies use cheap capacitors.

Summary

The gravy train keeps on rolling for EVGA today with the G2 750W. Expectations were high, and EVGA rose to them without breaking a sweat. I have to imagine that over at EVGA headquarters, they have to regularly take breaks to go up on the roof and yell, "Top o' the world, Ma!" I certainly couldn't blame them. Now all we need from EVGA is their answer to the Corsair AX1500i, and we'll be all set.

The Good:

excellent voltage regulation
less than 15mV ripple on the outputs
switchable semi-fanless mode
excellent build quality
10 year warranty
competitive price

The Bad:

nothing

The Mediocre:

10 year warranty requires registration first

The EVGA is a good unit at a good price. You can always get the EVGA G2 which is gold if it's a gold unit you want.

jterrenceg · Aug 18, 2014

could i use a PCI-e 6+2 Pin in a lci-e plug. Ijust bought the Asus r9 270x graphics and it has two pci-e plugs and psu didn't have any plus it is only a 350 watt

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 18, 2014

I posted the gold above if he wants to check it out.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 18, 2014

Either EVGA posted above has more than enough cables to power your setup and card.

Yes, I think we must have been typing at the same time, this thread did that thing where it suddenly "discovered" 3 posts!
