I have done pretty much the same thing as you did. EXCEPT I tapped in to the green and black wires on the power supply thats in the case, so when I turn on the pc they BOTH go on. I use 1 supply for the board and CPU, and the one outside for all the other drives i use. When I hook the green and black wires from the 2 power supplys together they both operate together when the pc is turned on.

could u tap into the other power supply so it turn off and on when turning the computer on instead of always on or with a switch
edit didnt c there was another page

what sort of psu could u use then if u were just running a graphics card on it then or 2 in sli would a 500w be sufficient to run a gtx280 or 2 8800gts or even 2 gtx260

I WAS afraid of something like this could've happen. I dun knw how he setup his PSU's.

But if He could simply join the slave green to main psu's green (same for black ground) the lag would not take place.

Any one tried or have any experience on this????
plsss share...

Ok so I am going to try this out, I was thinking about purchasing this

If I purchase that, thats all I need right, no need to do the steps on the front page?

You don't need the pins, it's just to make it prettier, and you can barely notice it anyway. Just tin the pins (if you don't know how, just twist the strands together so the stranded wire is a lot stiffer at the end *awkwardish sentence*) and stick them in without pins. It'll work just fine, and be a lot cheaper

I want to try this to save buying a bigger PSU, but I can't risk my rig.

Only one poster has mentioned the possibility of sync issues, and another one has mentioned that you have to load them evenly to avoid shortening the lifespan.

Can anyone else support these statements? I was only planning on putting fans on my secondary PSU and perhaps my optical drive.

A few fans and an optical drive isn't much of a load. Is your primary PSU so weak that it can't handle the 30-40W at most from those?

There can be sync issues between the mobo/cpu/video card if they aren't turned on at the same time. That is prevented by wiring pins 14 and 15 from both units to the same switch/24-pin ATX connector. I can't really confirm the other question since I was the one who wrote it.
