Using multiple PSU in one PC?
Opening a thread after many years. I need some advice from someone who has actually done it.
Thing is with release of new graphics cards older gets cheaper. I have bought GTX 285 for 20 Quid each and bought 4.
I now want to build a Quad SLI rig.
The estimated PSU will be 1200 watt,which is very expensive to buy . In the range of 150 Quid.
But i can buy two 650 watt PSU for 15 Quid each. So will spend only 30 Quid on PSU.
Online i have seen some specialized cards called Add2psu which basically switches both PSU on or off at the same time.
But there seems to be almost nobody who had actually done it and have real life experience of using multiple PSU instead of one for runing a power hungry rig.
Questins are.
Have you done it? If so,share your experiencs.
If its possible then why nobody does it?
Is it safe for hardware?
Will my quad SLI GTX 285 Beat latest top end cards?
