2x20 pin question

I am currently interested in purchasing this motherboard for my new server: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUSTeK-COMPUTER-Z8PH-D12-IFB-ASMB4-IKVM/161128059041?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D31237%26meid%3D3ae0c1851d2b40b4956a2fd3f4d52a8c%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D121554365704&rt=nc As you might notice in the picture below, this motherboard requires 2 20-pin connectors. (no 8-pin CPU or anything else)  Is there any way to rig up m AX860 to have 2 24pin connectors to run this board?  Thanks :)

Pretty sure you'd need 2 power supplies for it, or one server power supply that has 2x20-pin connectors (If those are even made)

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

Edit those are both 20-pin connectors, not 24-pin

Not sure, depending on the voltages of the wires of a 20 pin power connector, you could probably make some janky thing to plug other types of connectors into and such, though it might be a lil risky.

I would double check the amount of amperage it draws in total but you can get something like this, it's a 24 pin splitter and you can use the 20+4pin and leave the 4 pin dangling.

I would imagine it was made like this for extra redundancy (if one psu fails)

Scrapyard Build Total Cost: $268AUD


C2Q E8200 | 4 x 1gb DDR2 | GA-EP45-DS3 r1 | Gammax 200 | 320gb 2.5" | 7870LE PCS | Litepower 500w | CISCO Aironet 350
