Enermax publishes a list of ballasts compatible with Haswell

Enermax is one of the first manufacturers to specify which of its power, is on the market is already out of production, are compatible with the new specifications combined with Intel Haswell

Earlier this week we reported the possibility that Intel's next-generation systems, based upon an architecture known by the code name Haswell, may present problems of compatibility with ATX power supplies that do not meet the latest specifications developed by Intel.

Specifically, it would not be possible to correctly set the low power mode C6 and C7, in which the processor is automatically positioned so as to minimize power consumption when it is not engaged in the processing. At these stages the new specifications require a minimum current of 0.05 amperes, value 10 times lower than 0.5 amperes of the previous specifications.

It remains now to understand what power supplies are able to properly support these new operating specifications, which is why some manufacturers of power supplies have been quick to indicate which models of its range are. The first is Enermax, which with a press release stated what are the solutions
