Actually, just google it. Or tell us your power supply and we google it for you because what else would this forum be good for.

Does it have a cpu power connector? If so, yes.

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

A power supply supplies power. It's all about the wattage wether it's compatible or not.

If your PSU is a quality unit, but does not meet Haswell specs, does that mean you need a new PSU to upgrade to Haswell? No, you do not. As mentioned earlier, you can disable the low-power states (or your mobo manufacturer will disable them by default), and you will be fine. - See more at: http://www.logicalincrements.com/haswell/#sthash.SExWmtaD.dpuf

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

is it compatible with Haswell processors?

the question is up there..

"Haswell Compatible" only means that the PSU will support Haswell's deep sleep states, if a PSU is not Haswell compatible it does NOT mean that PSU won't work with Haswell, it just means that your PC will use slightly more power in sleep mode. However, you're really not going to notice the difference on the power bill between 1W and 5W in sleep mode on a desktop.

EVGA claims that it is, but technically it's not according to Intel's specification, as it is a group-regulated unit.

Thanks for clearing things up for me
