X48 BlackOps PSU Compatibility list

[saaya]

I just got the test results!

Coolermaster Realpower 1000W - test passed
Seasonic 600W M12 - test passed
Enermax Galaxy DXX 720W - test failed

Unfortunately the ABIT psu wasnt available and we couldnt find the enermax 1000W either.
The conclusion about the Enermax 720W is that the PSU doesnt shut down immediatly but keeps running for some time, this causes issues with the power cycle on our board, which results in the endless reboot cycles some people have reported.

We will check if we can find the abit and the enermax 1000W psus and check those too, and we will check if we can find a fix for the enermax 720W psu





EDIT: I checked with our engineers, here are some more details:

After the board tells the Enermax psu to shut down (motherboard closed the PS_ON signal), its still is running for about 10 seconds.
I also tried it in other platforms (MCP72, RD790, ELA01...), and got the same result. I think the problem is in Enermax psu, not in BlackOps.

Not sure why, but my guess is that the enermax PSU continues to run for that long to vent the system and remove hot air from the case? since the psu works on some boards, its not a definite psu issue id say, so it doesnt mean the psu is faulty or flawed. I guess its just a compatibility issue. Ill check if i can hook up our engineers with the enermax engineers
