Hello, recently I have purchased an XW9400 motherboard, a -005 AS#, and I have been reading a lot on various PC sites about issues using industry standard fan/heatsink combos with the CPUs.
Can someone please give me the correct pinouts for the CPU0/CPU1 connectors, P70/P71? At first, I thought I'd splurge and buy a couple of the fan/heatsink combos from HP, but the $330+ pricetag nearly gave me an aneurism. I'm a disabled veteran and don't have much money to spare. I build multi-CPU PCs as a hobby and therapy. I have two new Dynatron fan/heatsink assemblies which are industry standard, but I neither want to burn them up nor damage the motherboard in any way.
Also the power supply I am using, a Sentey 725W, does not have an 8-pin plug that will work for P3. It does have a 6-pin PCI plug that fits electrically with what is there and the voltage requirements. My question is whether pins 3-4 and 6-8 are in parallel for current carrying purposes and are supplying power to the exact same points on CPU1. If this is the case, I feel the 6-pin plus will handle the demands of the board admirably.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer in this matter!
