Oct 11, 2022 · Instead of replacing a perfectly good existing power supply with an expensive high-capacity model, it's possible to add another modest unit for an overall cost-saving solution. You may even have a second PSU in a drawer somewhere you can repurpose this way.

The concept used here is to use two isolated power sources and to integrate them into one computer so that they will be switched on and off simultaneously,but will not share their power.It means the second psu is only meant to drive ta graphics card,but will …

Jun 7, 2018 · While it would be possible to use two PS by inserting two series resistors and moving the sensing point to the PCB, it seems more effort than it's worth. Suppose one PSU had the green and black connected, and is used to power some devices. The other PSU is connected to the motherboard.

Second PSUs can be used to distribute the load if a single unit cannot cope by itself and it is safe to do so as long as any rail is powered by at most one supply. E.g., you can use the second PSU to power the hard drives, but the hard drives must be disconnected from the first PSU.
