News Haswell C states raise PSU compatibility fears

That listing is as useless as much is possible for a list to be useless. For example Seasonic - you got X series PSU ? Sorry, they won't list those. XFX ? What ? XFX makes power supplies ? Not according to that list.

In short, that list covers only very small part of the PSU market and for that reason it is useless to check this problem. Especially if the only informations it has on 12V2 line is yes or N/A (aka "we don't know").

 

The guy who I posted it in reply to was specifically referring to his recently purchased Corsair psu (and they are listed), as was I.

I have never claimed the list top be complete or useful in general.

 

Which doesn't mean anything considering Corsair doesn't make their own PSU, and his model (btw there is no such thing as CX380) can be made by anyone (Seasonic ? Flextronics ? CWT ?)

Unless you got exactly the same model listed on that site and it says Yes for exactly that model, then that list is completely useless. N/A doesn't mean No, and not being listed doesn't mean anything either.

In short, all that list does is providing confirmation for few PSU who has "yes" in that column, every other PSU (listed or unlisted) can be OK or incompatible.

And that is why that list is completely useless. It is completely useless for ch424 as well and with big chance it is useless for Phil Rhodes too.

 

Yeah, sorry - I meant the CX 430W. Not sure where I got 380!

 

If you can do USB charging when PC is off would that suggest that your PSU might work?
