Running two PSU's

[[XC] moddolicous]

How do I run 2 PSU's at the same time. Like make them start and stop at the same time. I thought I saw a thread earlier on these forums, but I couldnt find it. Any help is appreciated.

not sure about starting and stopping at the same time, i would recommend just putting the fans and such on one and putting all of your system components on the other that way it wont matter if you stop the dedicated fan PSU after the component PSU. Just make sure the one with your components is a strong one.

Yea, thats what I planned on doing, but there's no way that I could make both PSU's start when I press the power button, and when I turn the comp off, they both turn off.

green to green, good to go!

very easy mod.



If you have dead ATX motherboards you can rob the ATX connector off them and wire it to a few switches and VR's, etc on the front of your case to power fans and stuff from.
