PSU Issue- Not sure what to choose

[The Hob]

Hi;
Hope you can help. The PSU on my self build PC has died.

The PSU was a SAF (Global WIN) Power Supply SAF 520 Sapphire.

I'm certain I bought it from Overclockers, but no longer available.

I do have a Lian Li case so thought the Lian Li PSU would be a good option. Reading your advice on self build I thought the Lian Li Silent Force 650w Modular Power Supply sounds ideal.

BUT would this be suitable for my motherboard:
MSI MS-6742 ATX Mainboard. This has a ATX1 connector.
Information on the Lian Li website shows the power supply has a ATX2 connector.

Will my main board be compatible with this PSU or do I need a different PSU.

Hope someone can advise.

Much appreciated. Thanks

Mel

Has your motherboard got a 20/24pin power connector?

and a 4/6 pin cpu power connector?

The PSU should be fine, as the extra 4 pin on the atx can be removed if not needed, 650w seem overkill, what your full spec.

It has a 4 pin (power) JPW1 connector and a 20pin ATX1 connector

cheers

Thats fine, any psu should do the trick wattage permitting

The spec is in a document on my harddrive on the dead PC. I don't use it for gaming, but I thought if the PSU burnt out a higher one be better.

Wouldn't get Lian Li PSU: Wattage is artificially expanded (it's 12V which matters) and with artifical current limiters.
Sleeve bearing fan doesn't like neither heat or running in horizontal position.
All capacitors except primary cap are generic.

The PSU was a SAF (Global WIN) Power Supply SAF 520 Sapphire.

It didn't die, that ancient shipload of crap just achieved what it was designed to do.
Corsair CX400 is probably lot stronger than it.
