Question 1

Is this compatible with haswell chips?

Accepted Answer

Jacob, maybe you should be asking in your question... is this compatible with my motherboard or mainboard, does it have the proper connectors, sufficient amperage per each connector and it's voltage rating to meet the computer system I have. Surf and find Kingwin manufacturers website, find the specs on the PS, find the specs on your Motherboard then compare the two. As long as the PS amperage meets or is above your motherboard and system setup specs, then should be able to tell if the PS will work or not. Newegg is good about return policy. I bought it for the price and it met my need.

Question 2

Is it both sata and ide compatable.
?

Accepted Answer

I only use it with SATA, those were the only cables included, and it isn't modular, but it could possibly be modified for IDE.

Question 3

is this compatible with dell xps 420?

Accepted Answer

This power supply should be compatible with the XPS 420. However, I do not recommend this PSU. The one I bought had a terrible overheating problem. I actually had to screw a fan to the back of it to keep it from overheating and shutting down until I could buy a new one. I recommend going with Corsair or Rosewill They are a little more expensive, but the build quality and reliability is worlds better. Hope this helps.
