How the!?! Need more power lines off power supply???
Is it possible to run dual power supplies, one smaller 200W for say 4 fans on my case, and then the big 550W for all my mainboard stuff, dvdroms, HD's etc.
My power supply doesn't supply enough cabling to reach all of the fans in my case and it's pretty warm inside the case. I can only run the one fan on front intake to blow cool air over the circuitry, the 2 side vent fans and rear vent fan have no power cabling. My PSU has dual fans on rear and bottom too, to circulate the airflow around better, but it's still pretty warm inside the tower.
Could I just run an external power supply sort of and lay it outside or on top of my PC tower perhaps and just plug it up to all of the fans?
Or is there extensions for power supply cables, to split connections of one into two power outlets or so?
Thanks anyone!
