Compatibility Check

Yes it will be fine.

But I would test your PSU before assuming you can use it... I made same assumption carrying a Tagan 800W over from old rig. Unfortunately once the ball was rolling, the 12v rail was toast and crashed the rig.
 
It's a CWT built unit with 744w spread across quad 12v rails. It should be fine but taking it's age into consideration don't go hooking it up to a pair of power hungry cards. It may or may not have a problem with the lowest power states on Haswell and later generations but they can be disabled in the motherboards bios if necessary.
 
Thanks for your replies.

@rexehuk - How would one go about testing the rails?

@pastymuncher - When you say two power hungry cards, do you mean new ones like the 980 ti? Would it support one? Don't think I'll ever run two at £500+ a hit :)

Thanks
 
I had a check with HWMonitor:

+1.5V -- Min 1.589 Volts | Max 1.589 Volts
CPU VCORE -- Min 1.371 Volts | Max 1.406 Volts
ATX +3.3V -- Min 3.352 Volts | Max 3.352 Volts
ATX +5V -- Min 5.130 Volts | Max 5.156 Volts
ATX +12V -- Min 12.188 Volts | Max 12.250 Volts

Software can be off... but they look ok to me. More of a case of trying it now and hoping, unless you've got a multimeter to read the voltages correctly. You'd also need to read them under load too to ensure they don't drop too far.

But I would honestly just try it, do some stability tests (IntelBurnTest) and hope it all goes well.
