New Intel Core Haswell | Not all power supplies are compatible
In addition to the flaw of the change of motherboard caused by the new socket 1150 Intel Core CPU upgrade to the fourth generation, core Haswell will have one more problem. Not all power supplies are supported or rather, not all will be able to enjoy all the features of rest in low and very low voltage and consumption.
Intel Haswell
The news has fallen from almost nothing in recent days on the web by surprise leaving it in the air because the matter had not yet been brought to the attention of Intel. In detail, we speak of the states C6 and C7, two operating conditions in which the CPU operates under high energy savings that now requires a level of current that did not appear in the specifications of ATX12V v2.3.
Enermax supporting Haswell
The energy demands of Haswell for C6/C7 states now require a minimum current of 0.05 A, a value significantly lower from the 0.5 A required by the standard. But what does it mean in practical terms? On the one hand a good number of feeders, especially those of quality, will not have any problem. Enermax for example, one of the leaders in the industry, has already declared that all of its medium and high end models including the deprecated ones will have no problem with Haswell.
