Hi all! I need your advice - is 12 pin (8 pin + 4 pin) cpu power is enough for a permanent operation of the i9-10980xe cpu in turbo mode/xmp profile?
Why wouldn't it be?
At 'stock' (Turbo enabled, XMP on), you're looking at a power draw from the CPU alone of comfortably <300W.
An 8pin EPS is spec'd for 235W, and a supplemental 4pin can do another 155W - so the power capability of that board (on EPS connectors alone, excluding VRM considerations etc) is 390W.
The fact is that i need a motherboard with 4-way sli
Actual SLI? >2-Way isn't officially supported anymore, is it?
If you're using Tesla's etc, then the requirements for 4-way NVLink isn't as specific, and four available x4 slots should be plenty adequate.
