Hello,

alot of the core i7 motherboards got a 4+4 CPU power and some have two 4+4 CPU power. I asked a question on the same in the forum but no answer. Where do I find a power supply that does Dual 4+4 CPU Power or do I use two Power Supplys? First Forum question is here

thank you for an answer. It would be nice to see Tom's do a review on the ASUS Rampage III Extreme with both CPU power slots used.

Again thank you Tom's for being the best Tech Related Site there is.
 
The dual eight pin CPU provides up to 600W of power for extreme overclocking, which is generally the only reason why the higher end X58 boards are supplied with two connections. If you're looking for a PSU which has two eight pin CPU power connections, one I know of is the Cooler Master Silent Pro M850, M1000 & Silent Pro Gold 1000W & 1200W models. The Corsair HX1000W PSUs also has a dual eight pin CPU power connection.
