MSI K8T MasterFar2

[tbaerg]

Yo guys, I'm getting a new power supply for my dually Opteron (in Sig), but I'm not sure what kind to use for the MSI k8T Master Far2. Anybody that's seen this board will know why, it has power connectors that I've never even seen before. My old Antec 400 was fine most of the time, but I'd like to get something a little newer for it. Let me know what you guys think.

edit to previous post: I know that one of the connectors is the +12v just like on XP mobos, but I don't know what the one by the second cpu socket is, or any power supplies that support it.

Actually is uses EPS12V type power supply. It is similar to ATX but often used in high-power situations like dual CPU. Newegg has a Fortron 550W (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-973&catalog=58&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1) for only $82 that should do the trick quite well, it even has active PFC. You will find that Forton is highly recommended around here. My only advice would be to avoid Antec, as my 550TP chokes on my dual XP's, let alone 2 Opterons.
