Dual Psu's????

[brodieman]

As the title says...

Thanks in advance

So I think my idea is simple. I want to hook up dual psu's. One internal and one external. I have read so many topics regarding this and how many different ways to do it. I have decided to go ahead with the jump mod by taking a small piece of wire to the 24 pin motherboard connector. Using the wire on the black and ground wire, I am able to use the rear switch on the back as on/off. Now my idea is to only use the second psu for all my fans IE:::

1X Zalman CPU Fan
1X Zalman GPU Fan
3X 120mm 4 LED Fans
3---6 80mm 4 LED Fans
And final a neon blue light 10"

I will mount the PSU outside my case and in NO WAY will it be connected to my major pc components. I am buying some PCI power brackets to get the power inside the case. With those I am able to remove the exterior cable and move my tower with ease.

Bracket on ebay…..

I want to know if this is safe.

Umm why isn't one enough, unless they are 100 watts each or something?

hence the forum topic...

Overclocking, Case Mod, Tweaking PC Performance

Anyone??

 

[j12]

I understand that this is the Overclocking, Case Mod, Tweaking PC Performance forum, I am just asking why you need to do this.

Truly

Because I am into case mods and I think this is kewl. next.....

Anyone know if it is safe?

I'm with j369852147412, I don't see the point in having an extra PSU just to run a couple of fans. I'd say go with a better PSU if your current one isn't giving you enough power.

How about someone just answer my question????

Your point is well taking but I am looking to MOD... Not recieve peoples opinion..

Once agan is it safe??

How did you get "Good-looking case mods are stupid" from "Running dual power supplies without a good reason is foolish"?
