Question 1

Is the power supply compatible with a Haswell processor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the power supply had the correct 24 pin ATX connector, plus the required extra 4pin ATX connector.

I used a 4770K and it works great.  I want to get a powerful graphics card but I can't find a low profile PCIe single slot card that's good enough.  PowerColor supposedly makes a 2GB 7750 PCIe 3.0 card that would fit the case but no one seems to carry it.

Question 2

Does this chassis support the ability to use a GTX 750ti graphics card?

Accepted Answer

This case only has one low profile expansion slot, so it doesn't support normal size expansion cards, including the GTX 750 Ti.  I bought it for a small home server that doesn't use any expansion cards or extra parts, and it works fantastically.  But I wouldn't recommend it for much else because: a. there is absolutely no room to tuck the cables, so the airflow is terrible, b. fitting in extra fans or a decent CPU cooler is pretty much out of the question, and c. it is an absolute pain to build in.

Question 3

does the power supply have any PCI-e connectors???

Accepted Answer

No, this supply does not have any PCI-e connectors. The full specs including a list of connectors can be found on In-Win's website, click on Power Supply link, then search for "IP-AD-Series"

Question 4

The case fan comes with a 3 pin connector, but the MB (Gigabyte z87...) has a 4 pin header. Is there a mistake with the fan connector?

Accepted Answer

Check the manual to see whether the MB supports three-pin fans. Three pin fans use two wires to supply the voltage and the third wire reports the rotation. A fourth wire is used for pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control of the fan's rotation. My ASUS board can handle either style from its 4-pin headers.
