Guys i have a enermax EG495AX psu spare and am considering building a pfsense box using a celeron G1840 cpu.

The psu only has a 4 pin cpu power connector and probably does not support the very low power states that are used on haswell and newer cpus.

However this celeron is not an i3/i5/i7 cpu so not sure if it needs to support the super low power states, any idea if the PSU would work.

I will buy a new psu if required but I only want to spend whats needed.
