POWER SUPPLY for LGA 1366 sockets

I have just bought this motherboard: a TYAN S7002 (S7002G2NR-LE).

"According to the SSI EPS-12V power supply standard, those 8-pin power connectors are for the processors. So, assuming the motherboard was designed the way I would expect, each plug needs to be plugged in for the corresponding processor to work.

As mentioned earlier, the power supply is an EPS-12V power supply. You can also find the 8-pin processor power connectors on SLI/Crossfire power supplies, but to get two of them may take some digging. The EPS spec only requires 2 8-pin processor power connectors above a certain power level (such as 800W).

The Manual for the S7002 recommends 1000W+ PSU. A brand I have experience with is ThermalTake Toughpower.

Keep in mind, the PCIe 8-pin plug will not fit into the 8-pin processor power plug."
