PS Wiring Capacity Alternatives

[bullbearish]

I recently built a system with lots of power I/O required between the water cooler, all of the fans on the Haf X, and so on. I've got an ASUS Platinum 580 that also requires 2 power connections. I'm thinking about adding another 580 for SLI.

The problem is: I can't power it with my current set up because I have no power connections left. Is anyone aware of splitters being available for power suppies, or is anyone running a PC with dual power supplies with no problem.

I've currently got a Corsair 850, which actually may not be enough for BF3 running on an overclocked 2600 and 2 overclocked 580's with all of those fans. Does a 1050 or a 1200 watt power supply have more connector capacity?

Opinions or suggestions?

Yes and yes.

The Corsair 850W should be enough. Maybe find a fan controller or splitter to power all the fans? Alternately run them off the motherboard. Are they 3-pin? fan power ports

All of the fan inputs are the larger 4 pin flat connectors that go to the power supply rather than the motherboard. Good suggestion though. I'll have to see what I can get a Frys and look at consolidating the fan cords. That may do it.
