Suggestions on PSU for Intel S2600CP2J Motherboard

Hey all,

 

Recently purchased one of the Intel S2600CP2J Motherboard + dual e5-2670 XEON bundles and I am researching which PSU I will go with.  I don't want to break the bank, but i do want a quality PSU that will keep my hardware running for years.

 

Bundle I purchased

I don't care about noise.

I plan to have around 15 drives (mix of greens and 7200s)

I plan to have multiple GPUs

SATA card to support my desired 15 drives.

 

Thanks folks!!!!

 

I've got a similar setup and chose the EVGA Supernova 850 P2.  Working very well in my setup and picked it up on sale for just over $100.

I went way overboard with mine and got the SeaSonic X1050 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151110

Does this motherboard support IPMI with KVM?

I read it needs an extra module from Intel to get full functionality. Like $65 for the adapter with a ethernet port, or $45 without one.

I was going to say that myself as I bought this module: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816117283 for my Natex S2600CP2 MB. But after reading the manual again I wasn't sure it was needed anymore.  Glad someone confirmed I didn't waist my money since I wanted the dedicated nic anyway.

Hello guys just a quick question.

Does this board need a gpu for Unraid or does it have integrated graphics?

IPMI works fine without any additional hardware

Multiple GPU's is your biggest constraint. Like 3 or 4? Look at number of rails, connectors, and get the best you can afford like a seasonic. 1K at a minimum for 3+

I'm getting ready to buy that exact same bundle from them!  I'm also getting a EVGA SuperNova 850 P2 from Newegg.

I'm finding it hard to locate a compatable cooler for that board that will keep them cool and still be quite.  Anybody else got a decent cooler that fits that Narrow ILM socket they are using?  I'm going to be placing these system in a Norco 4U rackmount case.
