    2 PSUs for 4 Way 480s

    Whats going on guys

    my 480s take my Strider 1500 to the limit so I want to run 2x Antec 1200 with dual psu 24 pin adapter.
    What is the best way to connect everything safely?
    PSU 1
    2x 8pin for cpu
    24pin to mobo
    2x 480 (2x 8pin & 2x 6pin)

    PSU 2 with adapter to mobo
    PCIe Molex 4 pin
    2x 480 (2x 8pin & 2x 6pin)

    is this a benching rig?

    just short the green and black wire on 24pin connector on the second PSU and it will work non stop.......good enough for benching setup

    Thx dinos
    its for 24/7 but sure, sometimes I take parts for a table run
    I have those adapters like short vga psu then turn on system psu, shut down system, then remove short from vga psu.
    But 24/7 With the adapter both PSUs start/stop at the time, but how to connect them safely for that

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
