Hi, I have the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Mainboard and I need to know the ATX Specification (eg 2.2, 2.1, etc..). I looked on the internet and the MB manual but couldn't find anything. Please don't misinterpret me, I already know my MB is mATX.
Danker,

Since your board needs a 8 pin cpu power connector or 4+4, every ATX 2.2 or 2.3 will be fine ☺
Diffrences between 2.2 and 2.3 are basicly 2 major things.
- efficiency: atx 2.3 psu´s are 80+% efficient, atx 2.2 are 75% efficient.
- low cpu power requierment: This has been reduced on the new 2.3 standard, they done this to prevent systems, having issues, to come out of sleep mode. C6 /C7 powerstates (haswell)
