Cooler Master also proposes a workaround for PSUs that may lack support:

Should customers experience problems nevertheless, or would like to enable the advanced power saving mode on older power supplies that might not support it, there is a simple fix. Simply adding a single silent case fan to the system, connected to the power supply, should provide enough additional load to keep the system running in advanced power saving mode. The only disadvantage would be that power savings in idle mode on such a system would only surmount to around 2-3W instead of ~5W.

Hmm. Interesting.

XFX

Here's the word from XFX on Haswell compatibility:

XFX power supplies use a +12V design that allows for a minimum of 0A so they will not have an issue with the new low power sleep states allowing the CPU to enter deep sleep mode without any problems. XFX manufacturing partner Seasonic in conjunction with Intel have worked together to confirm that all XFX Pro Series PSUs listed below are compatible with Intel's new 4th generation Core processor family for new CPU upgrades to current systems and future new builds.

And here's the compatibility list:

• Pro Series Core Edition: PRO650W, PRO750W, PRO850W
• Pro Series XXX Edition: PRO650W, PRO750W, PRO750W, PRO850W, PRO850W
• Pro Series Black Edition: PRO750W, PRO850W, PRO1050W, PRO1250W
• Pro Series Black Edition: Limited PRO1000W

The firm adds that its XFX Pro Series 450W and 550W units are not Haswell-ready. However, XFX is "working closely with Seasonic to develop a new 550W Gold Pro Series PSU that will be compatible later this year."

Thanks, much needed, can you list other PC components too? Which are haswell compatible...

[Swunkjyn]

Damn,my Real Power M700 is out of the list.

[WhiteWolf]

Just Google Haswell compatible motherboards and PSUs

[WhiteWolf]

Damn,my Real Power M700 is out of the list.

Check list carefully...Not all are compatible

[playstation]

zodak, thanks yaar...btw i read somewhere that it should not be an issue . All you need to do is change some setting on Bios.

 

let me find that article again.

With all the stir about Haswell PSU compatibility I think it's important to note that if you have a power supply that doesn't support the low power states of Haswell you can simply disable the C6/C7 states in the BIOS and there will be no compatibility issue, the only difference is your idle power draw will be more along the lines of previous CPUs instead of ultra low power which Haswell is capable of.

Thus there is no reason to really make a fuss about this. All power supplies will be usable with Haswell, just some may require a BIOS setting change.

^^ You don't even need to do that.

 

These lists are released by companies so that you purchase the new SMPS instead of older ones which shall work perfectly fine with Haswell. For more on this,

 

I think it's important to understand what the Haswell compatibility actually means.

It means that the power supply should be able to stay switched on when a very low current is drawn from its 12V rail. 50mA or so. This is not trivial as most power supplies switch themselves off when the load drops below a certain level as well as regulation becomes problematic at very low (and very high, but that's not important) loads.

The thing is everybody has conveniently assumed that the processor is the only thing connected to the supply's 12V line. If you have a even one fan connected, the supply has sufficient load to stay happy. The only people who really need to worry are those running rigs with one passive heatsink, one ssd and no add in cards.

As usual, this is not a significant issue for 99% of users.

Should customers experience problems nevertheless, or would like to enable the advanced power saving mode on older power supplies that might not support it, there is a simple fix. Simply adding a single silent case fan to the system, connected to the power supply, should provide enough additional load to keep the system running in advanced power saving mode. The only disadvantage would be that power savings in idle mode on such a system would only surmount to around 2-3W instead of ~5W.

Hmm. Interesting.

^^ What I had quoted was the same, unless you are running only the processor and a SSD on the 12V line the SMPS will not shut down.
