Any recommendations on a tried-and-true Power Supply for this mobo ??

According to articles it can run with any 350W PIV compatible PS. Any
advantages to a native SATA power connection vs. the standard 4-pin ??
Likewise ATX12v ??

It looks like in order to use ATX12v the board requires a 4-pin Aux
???

TIA

combinations below:

Thanks ... I've seen the manual. I'm looking for a brand and part #
of a PS that has these connectors. Not all of them do ...

On the Newegg site you can do a search in the power supply section, just
search for EPS12V power supplies.
 
I've been there .. I'm getting the Tyan and memory form Newegg
already. I'm just looking for a suggestion as to what other people
have used with this board, and not all the PS descriptions say what
connectors hang off of it. There are a few different options with
this mobo, one of which is to use the standard EPS, which means I
could use my current 350W.

I don't want to order a PS and find out I need an adapter to
run the K8w according to spec...

I was wondering what advantage there might be to going ATX12v
at all...

Thanks !!

350W is to small for dual processor system. Newegg has the Antec True550
EPS12V supply available for $100, that one should be more than adequate.
You don't want to cheap out on the power supply on a system like that.
Between motherboard, processors and memory you are going to have nearly
$2K invested in the box, a few dollars more for a good power supply isn't
going to break you, and more importantly the power supply will be less
likely to break your system.

For the record, I went with the Vantek Stealth VAN-520 ($101.00 at
Newegg) This has 3 fans (adjustable) , 10 Mobex connectors, a 24-20
pin converter and several aux 4,6 and 8 pin as well as two floppy
connectors.

It handles 620W peak. The cables are looonnnggg too !! I suspect
this should hande anything I throw at it ...

Thanks,
