man i would love to run something like that

Still looking for a PSU this MB needs 3 each 8 Pin connectors + the standard 24 Pin

I'm not sure how many PSUs actually have more than two EPS 12V connectors; most probably have just one.  I believe pretty much everyone with 4Ps uses PCIe-to-EPS adapters; it's what I was told to do by others who had similar setups to mine, and I've had no problems with two of the four 8-pin connectors on my board being PCIe adapted in the four months or so I've had it running.

I see both versions of the NEX1500 listed as only having two EPS connectors...

Zagen30

This may be true but I am not running GPU Cards so I can add a 3rd or even a 4th if needed.
All I need is one extra cable and I thought I had one but have yet found it.

You can use the 3rd connector if you wish but it is not needed even when OCing and Zagen30 you do not need it either I am running 3 - 4P 4650 rigs with 2 - 8pin connectors. The only time you would need it is if you are running some GPU's in the board and I have had a single GTX580 in the 4650's before and it did not need the 3rd 8 pin

Bc, you have been attacked by the "Folding MP Virus" and at this time the only cure is to Fold as much as possible until new gear is required to relieve the symptoms!    A 4P G34 board is an absolute "thing of beauty"...good for you and I know you will love it.
 
I've yet to see a PC power supply with (3) EPS power connections.  I made my own adapter (whether needed or not) from (2) 6-pin PCIe cables.  If you decide to have that 3rd EPS cable, and use an adapter, just make sure it isn't one of those 3rd party adapters that loads up (gangs) multiple wires onto single pin(s) in the adapter.  There have been burned cables from people that used them and they are not electronically the proper way to split a cable.   Using (2) 6-pin PCIe cables as your source to the 8-pin EPS, every pin on the EPS has it's own individual wire and nothing is ganged (such as you will see in some poorly designed adapters).
 
Have fun with that new beast!!

I got this in case my current plan dose not work with the AX 1200. Thanks I do in deed have the "Folding MP Virus" but at least the Virus may help Kill other Virus.

8 to Dual 8 Pin EPS 12V Motherboard Power Supply Y-Splitter Adapter Sleeved Power Cable

Bc, that cable is a perfect example of what I would never use on my 4P.  There are 16 wires (8 per connector) being ganged onto a single 8-pin connector.  That is also before that cable has to run on yet another single 8-pin cable to reach the PSU output.  You really don't want the current load requirements from (2) EPS connectors on your mobo being ultimately fed through a single EPS connector.  This is also why you don't see PSU manufacturers including a ganged EPS cable like that.  They already know it would be wrong. 
 
This is the kind of cable that can be (and has been for some 4P Folders) the source of melted wiring due to excessive current load on that single EPS connector.  On a $700 server mobo, using a ganged EPS cable is a potential recipe for much crying and gnashing of teeth.  You may get away with it (as some have) and then again you may not (as others did not).  Better to use proper designed adapters IMO.  Just trying to help you avoid harming a very nice (end expensive) board.

I just used a rack and rack shelf to put mine in instead of a case.

Thanks I take it that this MB will fit in side a free standing or can I mount the MB somehow.
I want to order this so any tips would really be great how you did your and if you have any pictures. Bill

jinihammerer Really cool with I had seen this before:

What CPU Coolers are in that bad boy? I ask because of the two close CPU's not sure if I can put two Noctua Fan NH-U9DO A3 that close together.

Put it all together I might as well put both the P2 and P4 in one rack system. Thanks jinihammerer for the idea of a rack mount way.
Here's what I ordered to put it all together.

I will put the Folding EVGA 2P at the bottom and then the Folding EVGA 4P on this Shelf upside down and will mount the Motherboard on it.

OK, I ordered this a check and the CPU 8 Pin will fit in any of the slots on the AX 1200 so I can use of the CPU cables from this kit and dump the above cable.

Thanks for the tips.

you should of just hit up ramguy on the corsair forums and told him you needed an extra 8-pin set. They do it alot for people.

Thanks but my order paid for and in prep for shipping. It would be nice if somewhere on their web site you could order a single item like this.

When the MP bug bites there can be lots of unexpected purchases in a persons future.

Thanks to jinihammerer I took the rack path and I do remember seeing AB's Rack Setup but did not take it to hart and now I wish I had. It is a Great Looking Setup. Thanks for the reminder and the link to AB's Setup.
