Question quick multi psu question??

im going to use spooks multi PSU guide to have 2 psu's and have 1 plug into my video card and the other into my mobo and drives etc/. but what will happen when i turn my pc off the 2nd psu will still be running power to my video card. Can i leave it running (will it hurt my video card) or do i have to turn it off immediately after my main psu turns off or what ???

i think for something such as your gfx card, a specific PSU would be better than trusting it to your jury rigging. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/produc...0099/w0099.asp

that's hard though.. don't you have to splice the green and black wires together with the ones on the main PSU?

If you're going to do it, do it right; or don't do it at all
