Well I'm not new to these forums I have been reading these forums for about 6 months just never posted anything here. I saw the post about the Dual PSU mod. Also I read that one PSU powers the Mobo and the other one powers the fans and lights. I was just wondering if it's possible to use two PSU's to power a single motherboard.
Well here is why I ask. I bought a case and started modding it, just a few simple mods, but sadly since I was a noob I didn't do a real good job, I'll post pics later. After I completed my case I ordered parts for my computer I got a DFI lanparty SLI-d Motherboard, a dual core CPU, two hard drives, two dvd burners and two graphics cards. The DFI website said when using the mobo I should first install one of everything and to add the rest once the OS is installed. I did that and my rig wouldn't power up. I later read that my mobo needed a minimum of 480watts. I bought a 600 watt PSU. So I unhooked the DVD player and since it was freezing my room all my fans and sure enough the mobo started up. Now if it's possible to run a stable rig powered by 2 PSU's I plan on build a case from scratch. But if it's not I'll just buy better PSU.
