two psu possible?

[hunkeelin]

is running two power supply possible?

like the 24 pin connect - psu 1

and other pins - psu 2

 

[General Kenobi]

Maybe. Worth it? Nope.

It could be done. You would have to rig the power switch yourself though.

It can be done using a relay. Worth the effort? Probably not unless you're desperate.

a lot of servers have redundant power supplies where one will take over if the other dies. they tend to be pretty expensive for their wattage.

those that use peltier sometimes use a supplemental power supply to power the tec.

tho I don't think either is what you had in mind.

it would be cheaper just to get a more powerful PSU.

all things considered, getting a larger unit is better than tacking two 500W units together.

There are also PSU units that fit in 5.25 bays that are for dedicated video card power, for people who want to run SLI/Store in OEM machines.
