One has split 12Volt rails and one doesn't. The EPS one should be the one with split 12s.

One is EPS 12V 2.2 compliant , the other is not.

Sorry I don't know what that means, perhaps someone else will.
Conectors seem to be the same hmmm

obviously price. and that 2.0 number prolly means ones a newer model maybe?

The EPS12v has 8pin for CPU power, breakable into 2-4pins. Also uses 2 fans.

The regular 550w 2.0 has a single 120mm fan.

So which is the better buy? Both the specs said they had split 12v rails, so idk.

Know Nuttin · Apr 5, 2006

EPS12v is the one I would get.

Would it be enough to power Opteron 146 or 165 oc'ed, 7900GT, 2 gigs ram, 2 hd's, 2 120mm fans, 1 dvd burner, and 1 X-Fi sound card?

Yes, it should be fine for that.
