is the EVGA 500w PSU good?

SpookyApple · Nov 18, 2014

I would get the XFX550 but it's not haswell compatiable, will there be much difference between evga and xfx?

According to techpowerup.com's review of the EVGA 500B:

"... our CL1 test shows that the unit does not meet Haswell's sleep state requirements."

There seems to be some inconsistency between reviews for that PSU. EVGA claims that it's Intel Haswell Compatible but there is a reputable review that shows otherwise. If manufacturing tolerances are that poor then I would stay away from it.

Antec TruePower Classic TP-550C £55.86
OEM: Seasonic

Crossload testing shows that this model is definitely Intel Haswell Compatible. It is also based on a modern DC-to-DC circuit design.

I would think its stated in the psu's specs most I look at state haswell ready -yes or no or if not nothing at all on that
