Lian Li PC-O11D - Dual PSU

[shinegull]

Im thinking of building a pc maybe this year or next year, and was intereated in the Lian Li pc-o11D and its variants. I noticed that they stated a possibility of a dual psu system. And was interested in how that would work out.  And well, what a dual psu sytem would actually mean.

 

I.e say I have 2 psu, one 400watt and the other 600watt. Does that mean i can have a load of 1000 watt?

I think the only reason the O11 supports a dual PSU is because Der8auer helped design it and in some cases extreme overclocking can use x2 PSUs. It doesn't really have an application for basically the entire PC building community.

So if say, i have 3900x on a x570 board (like asus crosshair or some equivelant) with single gpu, plus random pcie cards, its pointless for a dual psu?

That's correct. I dare say any computer these days can be built on a single GPU.

Didn't LTT just make a video with a EYPC CPU, 1TB RAM, 3 Quadros and 1 RTX Titan, and they only needed a 1300W. But I agree with you entirely.

I was actually thinking something more along the line of having 2 fanless psu (atx or sfx, i saw a video on the o11 mini) to reduce sound. But keep the wattage. Since fanless psu max out at 700 but thats only for atx. Sfx fanless goes to, i think, about 400-450. Which might not be enough... maybe
