Can't find a server Power Supply

I can't find any power supplies that have the 8 pin 12V connector, they all just have the 6 pin 12V connector.

Both Corsair models (HX520 & HX620) have an 8 pin with a 20/24 main connector. I don't know if this qualifies as a "server" power supply.

I didn't think that would be hard to find, however, lots of recent ATX2.2 power supplies with EPS compatibility have these connectors.
 
Power supplies built to the EPS12V standard include a 24-pin motherboard power connector and an 8-pin +12V connector. (there are a lot of them that have the 24 pin connector as a 20pin + a 4 pin addon, you would just not use the addon).

You confuse me ignore the 6 pin connector its for video cards, most supplies have a 4pin aux 12v connector and a 4 to 8 pin adapter exists.


You can find a power supply here (check the power supply matrix link on the right, might be faster than looking through a bunch of them). Also consider doing a seach on supermicros site and find a system that uses that motherboard and see what it has for a power supply and getting one of those.

power supplies start on page 29 of the supermicro product list.


What you have to watch out for is that I think, not sure, so you have to check, is that your board wants the older supplies with the heavy output on the +3.3 and +5 , the majority of newer supplies have the majority of the output on the +12. You need to be sure about which one you need.
