Hello and good day, I am back with another problem with my hair-brained scheme to take over the world, again, and as usual am probably asking for the impossible to happen but there has been not one forum on the internet that has a solution to this problem apart from buying a server based-PSU…
I have also been humbly asked to also post this here in the Q & A as well as in the hardware section of techrepublic.com and have apologised for a mess up concerning an incident in the hardware section and now know not to do that again for any future lines of questions from me…
I am desperate to find out if anyone has an old server power supply that has this ‘P14 – Auxiliary Power’ connector and if it shows on the power supply what the voltages are for the 4 wires that are present in the 5 pin connector (white, yellow, empty, black, orange) as I now have an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC and am extremely desperate to get it working.

please please please would anyone be able to help even if it seems you have had a similar board in the past and can remember a thing or two about where I can get the psu or more importantly, what the specific power voltages are of the 4 wires of the P14 connector! – I am so very desperate and out of funds so a nice work around would be preferable but not essential !
I have installed the following; (Blood-Sweat & Very many tears to obtain!)
4 GB x 12 DDR3 1333mhz Ram
2 x Intel Xeon 5650 CPU’s
1 x Nvidia 1 GB (GDDR2) Graphics Card
4 x 30 GB Corsair SSD’s (To be put into RAID-0 when this machine starts-up!!)
{NB – Ram & CPU’s are directly found on the ‘Qualified Vendors Lists’ or ‘Tested Components Lists’ of my motherboard}
Apparently I read somewhere that someone who had known about this P14 PSU connector said that the motherboard wont boot or even post without this connector connected to the motherboard ?!? Could anyone confirm this ???
I am extremely desperate to get this setup working, I am quite proficient in creating my own cables but can’t find ANY reference online to what the power voltages are for each individual cable going into the P14 Aux Power connector are????????
– The only place that comes close to any reference is the post on tomshardware.co.uk – Please please please help me on this – I will do anything you ask !!!
I really need to get this system working and if someone could either;
*- let me know what voltage each of the 4 coloured wires are (Recommended !!!) or
*- recommend a power supply that will work with my motherboard (Intel S5520SC) or
*- ANY work-around I can do, please please please, ANYTHING !!!
I couldn’t find any power supply that’s been tested on my motherboard like the same way we are all able to check if ram is qualified to work with the motherboard, I haven’t been able to, again, find any reference to what power supply is best suited for my hardware even on the product page (below) but please please please if I have overlooked it can one of you “Computer-Jedi-Masters” please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeese put me out of my misery and let me know which specific PSU will power up my workstation motherboard !!!

oh and please if you do show me a link to an affordable psu, any chance of searching the most cheapest 1st please please!
I cannot emphasize enough, how much I will be eternally grateful for all your help (as always here on techrepublic.com!!!) given and if I can do anything in MY power to come to your aid – I WILL see that it be done!
I’m always helping others out when it comes to desktops and laptops and am on yahoo answers.com as well as tomshardware with this last hurdle, but got nothing yet (this time I didn’t come here 1st, dumb-a**), passed the A-Plus course (computer maintenance & repair) {I know this qualification is only entry-level & doesn’t make me an expert!} and I have been humbly fixing friends and family’s computers for a number of years for free (but excluding cost of parts if any) but now I am in need of some expert help so all you Computer-Jedi-Masters out there – please help !
{NB – as I was un-aware of my fault at this point, a mistake I will not be doing again as I have now been corrected that this is wrong to do something called cross-posting and have been told off for doing such an action and will NOT be doing that again & I sincerely apologise if it has offended anyone}
Many many many humble thanks are in advance,
