2 psus connected into one

[Bajantechnician]

Yes there are adapters for that, many don't recommend them since the molex side of the connectionscan be overloaded at times if a poor connection occurs, Also for your 450W PSU that will be maxing it out if you have say a Titan X and an i7 CPU, what is your highest wattage PSU you have on hand:

450,

titan z

fx 4300

[Bajantechnician]

is a 450 enough for a titan z and a fx 4300?

[ApolloX75]

also, i dont need the 24 pin.

i need 2, 8 pins

You need the 24 PIN to turn the unit ON.

[ApolloX75]

is a 450 enough for a titan z and a fx 4300?

Hell no.

[W-L]

No those two components alone will draw over 450W, for a system you would want atleast 650W to give the proper overhead and efficiency. If you want to overclock the GPU and CPU ideally 750W. Also if I'm not mistaken an FX4300 may bottleneck that Titan Z

ROFL. MAY bottleneck?

 

@Bajantechnician

I gotta ask... why did you buy a $2000 GPU instead of building a well balanced system?

[Bajantechnician]

i know that...

 need extra pins to power the gpu

i have a 1050

 

can i use that?

i got a 1050 gs

got a 9590fx

 

16 gb of ram

 

gg

[ApolloX75]

i got a 1050 gs

 

folding

So... wait. You have a 1050 this whole time? Why not just use that? Why the whole rigamarole with hackjobbing two mediocre PSUs together?

 

 

Brain pain.

[W-L]

i know that...

 need extra pins to power the gpu

 

i have a 1050

 

can i use that?

 

If you have a 1050GS supernova PSU, yes that's a much better choice than using two separate GPU's.

so i can save $300...

duh

 also im also technically not supposed to have it.............

As said the EVGA supernova 1050GS would work and be more than enough for the system, being much more reliable and give better power quality.

its the thought that counts

[Gikero]

I have a 1050 evga, but its 200$, and im strapped for cash.

eh..

um...

no...

 

 

 

i got the superclocked version.

ur price x 2

No need to be a jerk. We're all here trying to help you. You never once mentioned that it was the superclocked variant. I was going off the info YOU provided.

sorry if it sounded like I was being a jerk, there was no intention whatsoever

[spwath]

Wait, I don't see the problem. You have a 1050w PSU, why don't you use it?????

[Bajantechnician]

Wait, I don't see the problem. You have a 1050w PSU, why don't you use it?????

so I can return it and save $200

[spwath]

so I can return it and save $200

Save 200$, but increase chances of breaking you 2000$ gpu

I don't see how you can increase your power output without increasing current.

Power = Voltage X Current

Voltage is fixed; it CANNOT be changed.

The entire system relies on +12v, +5v, and +3.3v, and is down-converted by the motherboard / system where necessary.

You can't feed +24v...random +15v into your system.

That is the job for a large portion of the PSU's internal components -- maintain, a smooth, and consistent +12v, +5v, and +3.3v as possible by supressing ripple, and electrical noise.

Since you are not allowed to increase voltage, then the only other option is to increase current.

That is how PSU's are rated.

Modern computer systems rely on +12v power source; hence, PSU's these days are rated mainly by their +12v output capability.

EVGA GS 550 (550W): 45A (amperage; current) on the +12v rail. 12V X 45A = 540W.

EVGA GS 1050 (1050W): 87A on the +12v rail. 1044W

You can connect two Power Supplies in parallel so the voltage remains constant, but the current is summed.

Essentially, the cable @W-L mentioned helps to achieve.

Then again, a few have already mentioned, I don't know WHY you want to put your entire system at risk, let alone your expensive Titan X, because of the power supply. The power supply is one of the MOST important component in any computer system. We mention it here, so does Linus, Slick, and a bunch of other computer techies say, you do not "cheap out" on the power supply. It is essentially the backbone of your PC.

ok

thx

installed the 1050 supernova

YAY!
