Confused77 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Are there any known compatability issues with the VX550W PSU and ASUS? I've heard rumors of this on a few other boards but would like to confirm. I have an ASUS A8M2N-LA Last week I installed the VX550W PSU, Sapphire 4870 Toxic card, and 4GB of Corsair RAM on my HP m7750n Here is a link to my post on HP forums. Basically by the end people are saying the PSU may be the culprit of my demise, or the video card. I have tested the PSU using a multimeter at my computer support shop where I work and the tests showed correct power from the PSU. So it's definitely working, and with correct voltage. So is there an issue with the PSU and my motherboard? As it appears, I will have to get a new motherboard now...so what motherboard would you recommend with this PSU? At this point in my frustration I just want something tried and true so I can put all this behind me LOL. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No, however not all OEM motherboards are built to ATX specs. Some use proprietary connections / pinouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 5, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 5, 2009 The PSU is built to ATX12v 2.01 specifications, I would check with Dell and make sure that their system supports this spec and does not require a proprietary PSU.
