Well the CPU takes some, but also all those PCIE slots, that all need power as well, then it's not to much. And if you us it as a mining rig with 6xR480........ Also my next rig with X299 ASUS ROG Rampage VI APEX Motherboard have 2 x 8 pin power. 🙂 Kind regards B.

I se bent pins there , or maybe i don't se right 😀

I don't think they're bent; AMD has a tendency to make their sockets ever so slightly asymmetrical. I imagine it drives people with OCD nuts.

well i dont like it , first thing that jumped in to my eye's 😛uke2: , anyway dear lord the socket is big :O

What's the 9th Dimm Slot???

As BLEH! stated, its for a riser card with two extra M2 slots on it. i think there are 3 total available on this board, all told (including riser card)

They've had a couple LGA sockets in the past I know of, more for multiple core segment though. They're just crazy huge! C32 is one I can think of off the top of my head. No offense but what are you expecting? It's a huge core count, needs power! Most people that would buy this setup probably aren't too worried about power draw.

That's right.... No power concerns here...just wants of that "Powah!!" I was gaming last night and just the three of my four cards I have hooked up to one PSU is drawing 1200+ and pushing 1100+ to the three cards. So I figure I'm around 1300-1400+ watts draw. Maybe I'll sell off some things here soon for a threadripper HEDT solution. I have been digging those M.2 slots and their throughput capabilities for some time now. Love not seeing a boot screen on my wife's laptop as it is so fast with an integrated M.2 for the OS.
