You can read about my adventures finding a PSU that works with the Asus P4S533-E in the topic linked below: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=82718&p=993939#p993939 Short, version, I have a PSU that works with it. The RM750x worked with the Athlon XP system, but I will be swapping it out …

Update: I pulled the PSU from my Socket 775 system, tried it with the Socket 478 system, the Asus board and it works! The PSU is a Super Flower 600w model that I bought new in 2016. Super Flower is not that known by itself, but they have been the manufacturer behind a lot of well reviewed, quality …

Update: Bought the OCZ Fatal1ty 550W and it doesn't work. I plugged in headphones to the onboard audio and I get the system failed cpu test error mentioned above. Either there were multiple versions of the OCZ550FTY PSU or it's completely different from the OCZ ZS550SW PSU that the board seller …

Update The seller sent me a (not perfect) pic of the OCZ 550w PSU he used. Looks like it's the OCZ-ZS550W which seems to have been rated 80+ Bronze. However I don't know if there were multiple versions sold under that name like there are for Corsair PSUs. I also don't know if it's a good PSU worth …

Oh, I didn't connect anything to the on board audio output. I only plugged in a speaker to the header on the motherboard. My success so far is minimal. Basically with the TX650M everything powers on, but the speaker doesn't beep and there's no post With the Thermaltake TR2-500, sometimes it posts, …

I bought an Asus P4S533-E recapped from eBay and it doesn't seem to work with the PSU I had intended to use with it an older Corsair TX650M (already had it). I tried it with the DVD drive, floppy drive and some molex fans plugged in and an SSD. The board powers up, fans spin, but no beeps and no …

Hi, Have you found a PSU that works for this board? I think that even the CX600M has different versions and I have no idea which one you used. Thanks.

Potentially dumb question. If I hook up an X2GS to a Windows 10 machine via USB, does the sound from the X2GS get sent via USB to the software that would use it? Or do I need to hook up the line out of the X2GS to the line in of the soundcard in the computer? I want to output sound from that PC via …

Yup, I saw the kind of ATX-to-AT adapter that Phil's Computer Lab used on YouTube with the -5V and the power switch. I'd need something like that but without the AT plugs I guess. The cable length might not be an issue to be honest based on the internal layout. The ATX plug on the motherboard is …

Also, I think I've found a solution to the PSU conundrum. I have access to 2 Windows 10 PCs. One with an RM750X and the other with a TX650M, at least I think those are the PSUs. Plan = 1) get a new PSU to replace the RM750x and use the RM750X in the AMD Athlon PC as it has 25A on the +5v rail and …

Seasonic should work on the NF2 methinks, by nforce2, socket A boards were switching to 12V for the regulator draw anyway, and most nforce use 12V. Socket 478 DDR boards should all be 12V boards too. Only trouble you run into I think with P4s, is the high power prescott system over 2.8Ghz, when you …
