Add2psu

 

I need more wattage. I know how to install but is there risk like if one thing boots too early or late could it mess up startup or do i just plug it in and..

 

Ta-da

Thanks. -Jon

I'm not understanding what you're asking.

 

Are you worried about overloading your PSU? like plugging in too much?

well jon, its simple. Ground yourself, plug everything in. Make sure you got enough jigawatts and your golden! If the psu is good quality then there shouldnt be any issues

No boot order and things getting messed up due to order. Like does it matter whether mobo or hdu boots up first and is there risk

I think he's asking about using two power supplies at the same time and if powering the first one on will cause drives to power up before the board.

What are your current specs?

ok. i have a decent psu, cx 600w and have a discount on another. 

i saw add2psu, (google it)

and thought, hey i would never have to upgrade again, until above 1200 w are needed.

so i want to combine them. 

i just want to be sure this works fine.

 

i am concerned about

 

say the hard drive boots up and says "hey, wheres the motherboard?" because maybe that psu hasn't booted yet.

is there a certain order between components for startup that is required? 

the 2 psus probably won't know about the other, so will they cause errors based on slightly different speed?

 

will all work out? i just dont want to damage anything.

 

 

also, could i run the gpu and mobo on different psus?

If you are building a system that will warrant a dual PSU setup, you would want to invest in an independent / DC-DC regulated PSU. The CX600 is neither. It's a group-regulated design, and as such, you will be putting one of the PSU in a severe crossload scenario, where the voltages may behave erratically and go out of ATX specification.

 

If you have the money that warrant a 600w+ PSU and a case that supports a dual PSU configuration, I would advise you to invest in a proper single PSU for such setup.
