i was talking with a friend of mine about the new titan x and its 250w tdp and i said that it would be hard to see a 5960x with a 4way titan x due to the 250w tdp of each card and he was like if someone can buy 4 titan x then he could get 5 psu one for each card and one for the cpu, so i told him that this is not possible to put 5 psu in one pc but he said it is, so i wanna know is it possible to run a pc on 5 psu even if that person had a custom case that support 5 psu and the custom made motherboard power connector

yeah it is possible you just need to wire the start pins together so they all start when you press the power button

this is how people use dual PSUs

 

but the titan Xs are so efficient you only need one PSU for all of them.

I know it's possible to run a PC on 2. Don't know about 5, but if I'm not mistaken, it'd be the same process, just 3 extra times.

You could do it, but WHY?

i didnt say i would want to do it i just asked can it be done

1500W+ PSUs exist, and can run all 4 Titan Xs with one PSU.

 

Also, you can run multiple PSUs in the same rig, it just takes some custom modding and making sure all the PSUs are wired to come on when you turn on the motherboard.
