X48 BlackOps PSU Compatibility list

[saaya]

Hey Guys,

To make sure our Boards work with as many PSUs as possible and to help people who build a new system pick a PSU that is know to work well, please post what PSU your using (model no if possible) and let us know if its working fine or you have any issues that could be psu related, such as:
- oc recovery issues, board getting stuck in an endless rebooting loop
- posting issues, board doesnt post properly or at all
- instability, board will shut down under load

Endless rebooting loops can be caused by the psu taking a long time to discharge.
If you turn off the psu, turn it on again and push the power button before the onboard LEDs on the motherboard have turned off, the board might end up in an endless rebooting loop or might not boot properly anymore. to fix this remove the bios battery and put it back after a few minutes.
If you still experience problems please post as many details about the PSU your using or send me or lardarse a private message.

If you have several PSUs, it would be really cool if you could check them and boot a couple of times and enter bios and save etc, just to check if they work. this will helps us to find out if there are PSU related issues, and if there are, where they come from and how we can fix them.
thanks a lot in advance!

I'm using the Enermax Galaxy 1000, EGX1000EWL. It's working like a charm for me and thats with everything in my case running off of it.

[MasterOfTheReal]

Dell 1000w from XPS-H2C Works fine. (These are lovely PSU's you can get very cheap)

[yiancar]

Coolermaster realpower 1000w , has problem with oc recovery some times goes in an endless loop

[T_M]

Silverstone OP1000, sometimes endless boot loops but that is user caused

[StellaNor]

Tagan Piperock BZ 1100w, Be Quiet Straightpower 650w, Enermax MODU82+ 525w and Enermax EG465AX-VE(W) all doiing fine.

[Planet]

Fine with my PCPower and Cooling 750w and both my silverstone 1200 and 650

[BustaH]

enermax galaxy 850. Im not sure the psu was causing my problem but were similar to as described above. my board was returned so when the replacement arrives ill post here if the issue continues.

[Broken]

Ultra X3 1000. Fine and dandy on my end.

[naokaji]

tried it with my other psu's,
pcp&c 1kw, tt toughpower 750w, corsair 550W, Silverstone DA 750w all working fine as well.
however, LardArse posted in other thread its only with some boards that the Issue exists, not all have it, so dont know how reliable the test is since I dont really know if my board is one of those that is picky on the psu.

[clone38]

Thermaltake Tough Power 850w works ok for me.

[FatAlbert]

tagan tg430 EasyCon is working good.

what a shame

all you guys have nice psu's and I with little tagan, only 430. my e-pennis: -1

[Gautam]

Zippy PSL6701 700W and Silverstone Zeus STZF85 850W are good to go.

[ceevee]

Cooler Master 1000W works great.

Abit Modular 900W would not boot Blackops consistently.

[MasterOfTheReal]

PcP&c 850 and 1k fine on mine too. Looking to see if I can check any others.

thanks a lot m8!

thanks for the hint
do you happen to know who builds those PSUs?

Coolermaster realpower 1000w , has problem with oc recovery some times goes in an endless loop

when you run the same settings in bios and just keep rebooting and entering bios and hitting save and exit? or does it happen when you turn off the board and then turn it on again? or does it happen when you change stuff in bios and hence might be caused y pushing the hardware too high?

Silverstone OP1000, sometimes endless boot loops but that is user caused

wouldnt have expected anything lesser from you hehehe

Tagan Piperock BZ 1100w, Be Quiet Straightpower 650w, Enermax MODU82+ 525w and Enermax EG465AX-VE(W) all doiing fine.

thanks a lot!

thanks
did you have endless reboot issues then? or did you rma the board because of some other problem?

Ultra X3 1000. Fine and dandy on my end.

cheers is that the name of the mfc? ultra?

tried it with my other psu's,
pcp&c 1kw, tt toughpower 750w, corsair 550W, Silverstone DA 750w all working fine as well.

thanks for checking!
well we didnt hear about those oc recovery loop problems until recently, so sham is supecting it might be a problem with the latest batch of boards... but its hard to tell... the infos you guys posted here seems to indicate that it might be psu related... so maybe the new batch for some reason doesnt work well with some psus...

Thermaltake Tough Power 850w works ok for me.

thanks

tagan tg430 EasyCon is working good.

what a shame

all you guys have nice psu's and I with little tagan, only 430. my e-pennis: -1

time to look for one of those DELL 1000W psus then

Zippy PSL6701 700W and Silverstone Zeus STZF85 850W are good to go.

thanks!

Cooler Master 1000W works great.

Abit Modular 900W would not boot Blackops consistently.

hmmmm but it does work with other boards?
could you post the detailled specs please?

PcP&c 850 and 1k fine on mine too. Looking to see if I can check any others.

thanks a lot man

[BustaH]

I think it was some other problem saaya, I just received my replacement. I havent tried the galaxy yet but my tagan 900w psu is fine. the board is a lot better responding than the first so I assume it was a faulty board anyway.

what bios were you running?

[rdrash]

Silverstone Strider 1000W (model number: ST1000) works fine no issues here.

Hi. I have the Enermax Galaxy 850W (DXX version). Is your psu exactly the same model?

Any news about this psu with the new BlackOps? Eventually, please can you try it?

[M3kk]

Silverstone Zeus ZM1200M 1200W
Enermax Liberty 500W

Both works without any issues and problems.
