Does Acer plan to design/develop a family of ATX12VO PSUs beyond their proprietary, LITEON ATX12VO model: PA-4501-1AC 500W PSU? While here, what is the form factor of the LITEON PA-4501-1AC?

    The largest ATX12VO or Flex12VO power supply that Acer makes for their systems is currently 500W. The gaming systems that come with larger supplies, such as my Predator Orion 5000 PO5-640 (800W), all use the old style design, not the 12VO.

    It looks like you posted essentially the same question in a bunch of different threads. I posted pinouts for you on a few of your other threads. It's more efficient and less confusing for people to to only ask the questions once and wait for an answer instead of over and over again...

    I learned from my first couple of posts to asked less complex questions so that I could get targeted answers.

    I'll try again, does Acer have a family of ATX12VO PSU's across a wattage range of 500W to 1000W?

    Just that you know, if no one has mentioned this already, this forum is run by unpaid computer hobbyists like you and me. Not by Acer technical staff. More complicated questions should be directed to Acer as they will not be answered here.

    As far as I know, Acer doesn't offer PSUs of the range you mentioned. The 500w found in most(?) PO3 series is the largest ATX12vo one I have come across with.

    Thank you. My research was leading me to that conclusion - I was merely trying to confirm that 500W was the current Acer max 12VO PSU. The intent of my PSU and 6-pin ATX_PWR connector questions was to inform a search for a third-party PSU that would meet my needs.
