Billabond1 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I am getting a dual xeon board and i just saw how much power it needs. It needs a 24 pin, a 8 pin, and a 4 pin power hookup to run. I have found adapters that will get my an 8 pin connector, but they use the 4 pin to convert it. What i need is to have all three of those available. Anyone know how i can rig that up?

lilkev715 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) You need a EPS12v SSI Server PSU. Don't bother with those "adapters". What mobo are you getting? Edited August 28, 2005 by lilkev715 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabond1 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) it is a SUPERMICRO P4DC6+ would this work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Showimage.as...Supply+-+Retail Edited August 28, 2005 by Billabond1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) I wouldn't trust that Maxtop worth jack. Why would you want to use a cheapo PSU on such a expensive system? I would recommend this Fortron PSU. It looks generic, but its performance is top notch. Edit: That mobo is pretty old. Unless you are getting the parts really cheap, I don't know if it would be worth the hassle building a older system like that.

gunak87 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 You're going to need a server PSU. They cost a whole lot of money just for that 8-pin bugger. I don't know where to get one, though. At work we got a replacement one from HP, but it was from and HP server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the potential to fry not only what I would think is a hard to find mobo, but also *two* cpus. I recently had a "good deal" psu literally fry on me, and luckily all it took out was my fan controller. I would have been pissed if my mobo, cpu, or graphics card went with it...nevertheless mobo and two cpus That 93dollar fortron is the cheapest one that I would still trust(although that black and red aspire sure is sexy! Wont look too good with smoke soming out the back tho ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
