It should work fine. I have heard of that being done before. You might want to use something with less watts to power just the GPU's though.

Or just use the cooler master PSU for the entire system.


first off ...i cant use the coolermaster for the entire system even if i wanted to to because the dell mobo does not allow it...

second i cant use something with less power because the other two psus I have do not have sufficient amps on each rail to power the quad set up ...

Since the power supply would only be powering the GPU's you can get away with it, those amp ratings should only apply if you have the GPU's and a CPU on the one power supply.

so you know for sure I shouldn't have any problems if I only power the gpus with the coolermaster then.
