New Server Build

[newcbomb]

I want to build a new server for file storing, plex, etc. Im trying to figure out a case and power solution.

Here are my parts I have picked out so far. 

 

CPU: Xeon E5 2650

Mobo: HP Z620 LGA2011 Motherboard

Ram: 16GB Hynix ECC

 

I want to put the motherboard in a normal ATX case, can i do that?

Also, I want to put in a regular 500-600W consumer PSU, can i do that?

 

Thanks

Does your board look like this?

If so it is ATX.

Yes, i didnt know if the holes would like up since some server mobos are stupid sometimes.

Could u please take photos of the 24 pin power connector and also the 8 pin EPS ?
These could be the only problem because some mobos use proprietary connectors.

It does apparently have at least most of the proper hole alignment though some holes seem to be missing for standard ATX. Should be OK.

 

PSU is entirely up to you. You can use a consumer one but make sure it's a good one.

Now that you mention that. Count the pins on the "24" pin connector. It's only 9 across. It's not even a 20 pin, it's 18.

Yeah, googled around saw that it's 18.

So he can use this adapter cable instead to connect it with normal PSUs
