PSU recommendation for DUAL socket mobo

[93boba]

Hello everyone,

I own X8DTI-f Supermicro's motherboard which support 2 CPU's and requires 2x8 pin for supplying them.
CPU: 2x e5645(2x80W)

Please recommend me the best PSU solution.

Thank you

What size graphics card do you plan on using?

I got gtx 570 Synergy Edition which consumes up to 220W... Pretty heavy one (8pin+6pin pci-e)

You need a PSU with two CPU power connectors.

CoolerMaster Vanguard 750W PSU 80+ Gold Full Modular
SeaSonic Prime 850W 80+ Platinum Fully Modular PSU
SeaSonic SS-660XPII 660W 80Plus Platinum

You want a high quality 600w+ PSU that meets your cable needs. For a specific PSU recommmendation, more information would be helpful.

Which retailers do you prefer to purchase from?
Do you have a budget?
Are noise levels a concern to you?
Is efficiency important to you?
Is modularity a necessity?
What case are you using?

1# It can be any good brand
2# 100$/150$/200$
3# If I have to choose between Performance or noice I'll choose Performance
4# Yes
5# Yes, semi-modular at least
6# Thermaltake Aluminium ATX

But you said you need two x 8pin PC EPS connectors, not all PSU will support that

1# It can be any good brand

Retailers as in which shops you’re buying from. Or where are you located?

Oh, I prefer to buy on Amazon or Ebay. It's way cheaper that way

Be careful with ebay, make sure anything like a psu or gpu is stated exactly as to what you are getting. There's many ppl who have older stock/used psu's that will have the same name but not same as new psu. Corsair CX/M, HX, TX have all had serious revamps and new editions are far superior to the old stuff, yet have the same name. Just a different look. Some less reputable sellers know this and will send old units but post pictures of the new units (with a really small fine print disclaimer that actual objects may not look the same).

Personally, when buying a psu or gpu from eBay, I'd stick to the actual etailors like Amazon or Newegg etc who also have listings there, and not go through private individuals unless you've a trust with them.
