4 CPU motherboard

[XRS]

Hi there. I've got the question for you.

Which PSU should I use? I've got an old LGA 1567 supermicro. This is 4 cpu motherboard (4 cpu's means 4x 8 pin plugs on the motherboard, one for each processor).
Thing is.... all the PSU's I've seen so far supports up to 2 processors. They've got tons of VGA connectors which is also 8 pin connector but they've got only two CPU connectors. So.... can I use VGA's to suply these xeons? 

Thank you for further response.

I believe there's specific server grade PSUs for those specific kinds of boards. However, if you have a beefy enough PSU (read: 800W+), you should be able to split off the EPS connector:

I would HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND using PCIe Power for EPS due to differences in wiring:

The plugs and pin layouts are different, so youd need to get an adapter from 2x6pin pcie to 8pin eps 12v

There are 850w and higher power supplies that have 4 EPS connectors, or have modular cables which allow plugging EPS cables into PCI-E connectors so you can buy an extra set of modular cables to get more EPS cables.

 

ex seasonic prime 850w or higher : https://www.newegg.com/seasonic-prime-ultra-gold-ssr-850gd-850w/p/N82E16817151215

 

You have 6 connectors in which you can plug either pci-e or eps cables. Comes with 2 EPS in the package but you can go to cablemods or other people that do custom cables and you can order extra EPS cables from them.

some of the chassis that go with those boards have 1200w to 1400w psu's in them.

you may need more watts in it if you plan on the full 60 cores in that system.

Or you can can hook two psu together..
