x399 Taichi : Best PSU

[HEADRAT]

Hi,

Seem like this MOBO needs

1 x 24 Pin 12v Power connector
1 x 4 pin 12v Power connector
1 x 8 pin 12v Power connector

can somebody recommend me as PSU which support this "out of the box" with the correct cables etc?

Thanks

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Super Flower Leadex III 850W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £112.99

Total: £123.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

​

Specs say 2x 4+4-Pin EPS12V/ATX12V & the pics show 2x8pin outputs on the PSU for the CPU. 750 & 650w versions have the same 2x 4+4 pin CPU outputs too. However the 650 is £22 less, but would you be willing to run a threadripper Rig on only 650 watt PSU? My gut feeling would be to go for 850 or even 1000w but the 1000w version is £180.

I made a list in another thread so have copied and pasted it here. I have listed the more expensive psu's because it's pretty pointless paying more when it gives you very little extra for your money.

All are high quality psu's with long warranties (7-12 years depending on model) and all have either a 8 pin and a 4+4 pin or 2x 4+4 pin EPS12v cables. There are a couple of stand out bargains in the 850w units in the form of the recently released and updated Corsair RM 850w Gold (£92.99) which has a 10 year warranty, the Aerocool Project 7 P850 at £109.99 and has a 7 year warranty and the Corsair RM850i at £129.95 with a 10 year warranty. The Corsair RM 850w is a steal at less than £95 for a quality, gold rated and fully modular 850w psu.

I doubt you will need the 4 pin. The 8 pin cpu cable can provide 384W of power on it's own.
