I am currently planning a new developer workstation and looking at the Corsair 1000D Case. As we know this case can hold two motherboards. My question is, I have researched the question and am having a hard time understanding this power technology. I cant really find an answer to my question. I have went to ssi-forums and to no avail.
The motherboard in question is from Supermicro. Link is here.
I am having problems finding the exact motherboard. but this one has the same power setup
notice it just has a single 8pin for powering the board.
cant post links. look up supermicro X11SRi-IF as an example.
Can I run a single 1200 - 1500 watt power supply and run my main workstation board, and this little development server board at the same time?
what is the difference between a standard eps12v 8 pin vs this?
This particular board has been designed to fit inside the case you’ve mentioned, and be powered from the same PSU as the main system.
The one use case I can think of (not a developer!) is for the dev to use the secondary system for light tasks (browsing the web, for research, of course ) while his main system crunches the development work. Nice thought, but they’ve invented laptops/tablets for that
mini itx for LAMP Server web development. 12v is 12v no matter what. I though maybe the pin config may have been different for wiring or something. these little boards seem to be affordable they have EPYC Mini ITX. that is what I was trying to find.
thank you for your response. I was looking too deep into the issue.
