Cooler Master RS-600-ACAB-M2 PSU

DiamondFX · February 5, 2014

My friend has the following PSU with i5-4670. I told him that this PSU might cause some issues to the system but I am not sure if this PSU is compatible with Haswell cpus. Does anyone know? Here is the picture:

Here is the Haswell compatibility list but I couldn't find this PSU listed?:

After checking Cooler Masters list of Haswell supported PSU's, the Elite Power200 (The one in your post), it is "Not Haswell Ready". But that's because it doesn't support the C6/C7 CPU states. The only drawback of not using a Haswell Ready PSU is that you would only save 2 - 3 Watts instead of 5 Watts when the CPU is idle. Not a huge drawback. Have your friend disable the C6/C7 power saving modes in his BIOS.

Thank you so much for the answer I did not know that. So it wouldn't cause any problems. I don't think he has changed anything in the bios. Thanks again.

Thanks for noting that you guys use this. I let our product managers know that we should update the list (or make an official table somewhere on our site), considering we have some new V series PSUs out now too!

You are very much welcome sir. I'll be checking in frequently to see this updated list.
