SuperlativeTheory Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm currently building a dual-opteron server. The board that I'm using is a Supermicro H8DGU. I now have all of the parts, minus the PSU. As I've never built a dual CPU system before, I'm not entirely sure about what the requirements would be. The board requires two 8-pin connectors, in addition to the standard 24 pin. Would something like this substantial? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-202-AN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1088 Or am I going to want something with a higher wattage output? (A gold-rated PSU is preferable, given how much power this thing is going to eat up as it is) Edit: I'm assuming that the 6+2 connectors, on the linked PSU are going to work?

+kpo6969 Subscriber¹ Posted February 25, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think so. Connectors: 1 x 20+4pin, 1 x 4+4pin, 6 x SATA, 5 x Molex, 1 x FDD, 2 x 6+2 PCI-Express You would need two 1 x 4+4pin, the 6+2 are for video cards. I would also think it would be a good idea to consider more wattage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiretap Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 You'll probably want something like this at a minimum: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088 Note that it also comes with dual 8-pin CPU connectors to support the motherboard you are running.
