So I just got a new board, but was looking for a good PSU.

I has to have 4 dedicated 8 pin cpu connectors

I've seen the cpu/vga connectors PSU but im not sure how well that works in the long run

(i have a cosair RM850x)

I would like one of those server PSU with redundancies

Im hoping of maxing out with 4x 18 core cpu's

This computer will be running cpu's at 100% for days or weeks doing 3d animation/simulations

Not having any particular in mind, but aren't most modern/better ones modular? You should be able to attach connectors at will then (based on output types and cables you have/get extra).
Eg Seasonic FOCUS PX-550, 550W 80+ Platinum Full-Modular, Fan Control in Fanless, Silent, and Cooling Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Perfect Power Supply for Gaming and Various Application, SSR-550PX. - Newegg.com, that one has 5 free 'slots' for attaching extra cpu power cables...

Note this particular one might be a bit underpowered for 4 CPUs (depending on type)

he can't use this psu for 4 socket setup in its native mode, because this psu is missing extra cpu power cables.

what he can do is using cable converters, 4pin molex to 8pin eps
Delock Products 83410 Delock Power cable 2 x 4 pin Molex male > 8 pin EPS male 15 cm

but he needs more powerfull psu, something around 1000-1200watt

well o/c its missing them since no regular psu caters for 4 CPU connectors, but the modular PSU has the capability so he can simply buy more spare cables.
And o/c its too low powered, it was an example :)

in that case i would then recommend to buy corsair psu. then buy 2 extra cpu cables, type 4 cables. lool for corsair rmx-serie. not rmi-serie. rmi uses type 3 cables which are very rarely available on corsair store
