The one I ordered several months ago had the new backplane in it. The PCB was also blue instead of green like the older case I am using.

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.

the bios will update its self and recognize the new core on its own. there should not be any problem but if there is resetting the bios would be the quickest fix for any problems.

Hi Michelle, I have not gotten one but I believe if you get the adapter to convert the old power interface to the new it should work perfectly.

There are two cables coming out of the back of the unit and both need to be plugged in to the motherboard. The USB ports on the front of the unit are USB 3.0 but the card reader aspect is *only* USB 2.0 and that is why the second cable needs to be connected.

Yes the new LCD screen has new back lights - Make sure you order same number and plug in is on the correct side.

That shouldn't be necessary. If you had read through all of the reviews, it's been stated a few times, that the older power supply- which people were having problems with- has been replaced in this build.

3765 has dual bios. I don't think backplate comes with all 3765 model though.

You need to check your current power supply and make sure this power supply is the appropriate replacement. Click on the link for the new power supply and it will list the old power supply it replaces.

the power supply is only 300W that's actually the first thing I replaced. The MB has at least one but I'm thinking 2 PCIe slots. If you're PCIe card needs PCIe power straight from the PSU then you will need a better PSU because it has no extra peripheral power connections. Great computer. I love it!

My bet is still a power issue. While it came with the upgraded power supply I'll bet they also added upgraded the video card. When I ordered mine I also ordered a 700w power supply.

I believe (by looking at the specs on the EVGA website...since I was too lazy to open my case) that there are 2 PCIE 6+2 Pin connectors on this model.

I just got a SLAY7 used like new from Eagle Eye, appears he still has another one. I have not installed yet, but it is suppose to be plug and play with my HP Home Server.LJ

It has the second USB connector if additional power is needed but I am running it using just the main USB connector plugged in....No issues to speak of.

Someone said this is a SATA backplane. It is has nothing to do with SATA, it is not a backplane an has nothing to do with drive connectors.

How old is the hard drive you're replacing? If it was pre-2005, chances are it's a PATA or IDE drive rather than a SATA type. Is the original connector a large black plastic thing with 40 holes in it (2 rows of 20)? If not, then it's a SATA set-up, requiring 2 connections (one for power and one for data). Just make sure you align the connectors carefully, (even though they won't click in if they're reversed).
