Any recommendations on a board and PSU to go with the 4960X - currently have 2 titans and was looking at picking up 1-2 more but am rather worried the 4 will overtax a single PSU with a decent air or water oc.

Enermax Maxrevo 1500w. Done.
Great psu, can do 1500 workout breaking a sweat.
If you're not ocing the Platimax 1350 is even more zomg.

Board wise, no clue.

My problem is that there are only 2 dedicated +12v, i.e., +12V3 & +12V5, the rest are shared with everything. Dreading the idea of a 2 PSU system.

It's not a problem. Don't fall into the single rail hype.

Those Enermax PSU's are a good choice I personally use the 1350 Platimax.


As far as a board goes the Asus R4E is running my 4930k like a champ.
