A frenemy of mine has offered me a X8DAi motherboard w/dual Xeon X5650 CPUs and a 650W PSU, to replace my FX-8350 ESXi 6.5 hypervisor as I'm running a FreeNAS VM and I need both more RAM and ECC.
Something I noticed about the rig, the motherboard has 2x 8pin sockets for power but only 1 is plugged in (limitation of the PSU).
If I take his offer do I need to upgrade the PSU to something with 2x 8pins?
