Was having some issues with my current set of power supplies in my PC at home. None of them are able to support the GeForce GTX 280 that was lent to me by Asus a couple of weeks ago.
I got an extra Dynamo Pro 600w and a CoolerMaster 550w Real Power SLI but none of the two are able to carry the juice needed by the Asus GTX 280 on the system.
My idea is to combine the two PSUs to effectively harness about 1,000w of power for the rig (instead of buying another Gigabyte Odin 1200w, which costs pretty expensive). Anybody here has done that? One power supply will run the motherboard and the peripherals while the other PSU will solely power the graphics card.
My concern now is voltage fluctuations between the two PSU might fry the board or some other parts.
Incidentally, I found this Power Supply Calculator from eXtreme. I plugged in my rig specifications and it says I only need 377watts. Now that’s odd.
Fantastic goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff
previous to and you’re just extremely great. I really like
what you have acquired here, certainly like what you’re
saying and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and
you still take care of to keep it smart. I can not wait to read far more from you.
This is really a terrific website.
