    An adaptor should work, but if your PSU doesn't give you enough connectors to plug into your hardware you have to ask yourself the question: Does this PSU have the capacity to run all of the connected hardware running at full clip?

    To be fair, I don't know a single PSU that has two EPS connectors.

    Pretty sure a good few high-output units do... mostly past the 1kW mark.

    Ah, it's a server MoBo, pretty sure you'll be wanting a better power supply for it anyway then :)

    I can't even remember if Socket F mobos can use standard ATX PSUs... I do know they only take special custom CPU coolers and specific compatible Registered ECC RAM modules :eek:

    The Registered ECC RAM is interesting.
    I have two Heatsinks/Coolers for it and two Opteron 8214HE's.
    I would love to see the PSU that worked with this Motherboard.
    I know most Dual EPS PSU's are high end.
    I was thinking that if all it solely needs is 2 x 8 pin EPS 12 volt connectors and a few 4 pin connectors for, what I can see, is to power the Sata drives, then maybe it doesn't have to be a high end PSU.
    I think Corsair do a HX series that has dual EPS.Such as the HX850. I suppose I need to know more about the board.
