What about if you ran a wire from the green and black wire on the 20 pin connected to the mobo to the green and black connected to the 20 pin on the other PSU. That should activate both at the same time. Think that would work anyway.

I do have a spare 350watt power supply I was going to use to power the 8800. My question is, I will have to hot wire the psu. So would I switch this psu on before or after the computer is switched on? |

The dell 350watt PSU should be fine. I have an 8800gs overclocked and running 24/7 in my dell at work. Haven't had a problem in the 2 months I have been using it. Was running a 8800gts 3 months before the 8800gs.

So basically as fast as I can do that. Or do you think the dell psu of 350watt will power the 8800gt overclocked folding 24/7? Edit, guess Ill try and see, wouldve thought Id get help for the cure. Hopefully I wont fry my 8800gt. |
