Hello,
I'm putting together my first computer server so I'm a bit nervous working with the hardware.
I have a Supermicro MBD-X9DR3-LN4F+ Motherboard with 1 Intel Xeon 2630, 2 4Gb Ram sticks, 1 NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX+, and 3 case fans plugged into it.
The motherboard manual says that I need to have both 8-pin connections filled, but the motherboard itself has a warning that says "For Heavy Load Configuration, Make Sure Both 8-Pin Connections are Filled."
My PSU only has one 24-pin Connector and one 8-pin connector, seeing as how the motherboard supports up to 2 CPUs and 24 RAM sticks (not to mention 5 more PCI-E slots), am I safe with just the 24-pin and 8-pin connected? If so, is there a particular 8-pin I should fill first?
Thanks in advance.
