OK so, I have been in the prosses of building out a new workstation for one of our devs. Happy me diceded that we were going to go Epyc instead of Xeon. Found some well prices product and off to the races we went.
I picked up a Tyan S8253GM4NE-2T and two Epyc Rome 7282. This was on a from Newegg Combo. Its a E-ATX Board and will fit in the Supermicro 4U/Tower case we already have. Due to the location of the sockets and PCIe I also ordered a compact 3060 for the GPU, as well as 256GB (8x32GB) of DDR4-2933MHz to allow for an dropin upgrade to 512GB in the future.
Here is where the problem comes to play. I got the mobo in and what it failed to yell at me, and I missed in all the research between all the boards, is that this one uses four EPS12V conectors. Haven hunted down the manule (that it did not come with) the discription is as follows:
2.13 Installing the Power Supply
There are Five (5) power connectors on your S8253 motherboard. The S8253 supports EPS 12V power supply.
Thats blew my mind and reads like I do actualy need all four EPS12V, since each socket has seprate ones for PCU and Memory.
SO HERE IS MY PROBLEM
I cant seem to find an PSU with four EPS12V. The only thing I can find is this NZXT PSU which seems to be able to push more eps12V if I use the right cables in the PCIe/CPU ports, but that would only leave me with one PCIe 6+2. So any thoughts or a direction to push me down. I keep getting told to use 2 PSUs for the Mobo by crazies, but that is a non starter.
Thanks in advance for the help.
