I have the X7DAE which requires 24, 8 and 4.
I purchased a Fortron Source -- Epsilon FX700 PSU which has 20, 4 and two other 4 pins labeled CPU1 & 2.
Partial specs from their website are here...
*AC Full Range Input is applicable throughout the world.
*High efficiency and power saving design >85%
*Independent 4 Channel 12V Input design. Provides stable power.
*0.99 Active PFC. Improves the rate of power utilization.
*20+4Pin Connector designing compatible to all motherboards in the
market.
*4+4Pin Connector design, complying with the requirement of CPU for
ATX or EPS system
*S-ATA Connector design which supplies high transfer S-ATA interface
products with stable power
*2 Channel PCI-E Connector
8 Pin 12V which supports double CPUs and supplies stable voltage.
*MTBF:100,000 hours
The two 4 pins labeled CPU can connect side by side (there are little clips which make this nearly automatic). I assume I can use this to plug into the 8 pin on the mobo, right?
And just get a 20 to 24 converter and it's all good?
This PSU business is frustrating. Supermicro says get an ATX supply and nothing about EPS yet most people here are saying EPS. I don't get it.
