Are you talking about the SATA power cable? Because if so, you can remove that from the board and stick a 6-Pin PCIE directly into it, which should handle 75 watts perfectly fine.

I also found these: Again, intended for mining, but they might work. They probably help separate the two power circuits. (with some considerable PCIE bandwidth loss, but that is acceptable, since once the scene is sent over to the GPU it can just render on its own.)

I'm looking to do this with the components I mentioned because I already have them, and I'm searching for a way to use them as opposed to let them collect dust. The server offers a 10-Pin cable intended for expansion cards that can be adapted to an 8-Pin PCIE power connector through an official...

The PSU is not standard, it connects directly to the motherboard through one big fat connector. The sync boards I found only seem to need a 24-Pin on the auxiliary PSU though. And common ground I could get from the PCIE power connector, which the server does offer.

It has 2 E5645 CPUs and 56 GB of RAM. This is what I can tell you right now, I could give more useful information when I'm back home. I don't necessarily plan on using them to render, but I wouldn't want a situation where I could run into power issues when they do start to be used.

I mean, it doesn't look to be such a complicated device, and it should probably eliminate the syncing issue entirely.

(https://www.amazon.com/Add2PSU-Multiple-Adapter-Starter-Extender/dp/B077RGRTSG) Something along the lines of this. Given, it does look pretty sketchy. From my understanding it monitors the SATA power cable for any changes on the main PSU, and uses the relay (as to completely separate the two...

I have not found that video. Do you have a link or something?

I already have both the server and the 580 The 580 was my old graphics card from my rig before I upgraded The Server: I originally bought as a file server, but I never set that one up Both of them don't really find any use right now, so I thought of putting them together. Maybe I can use a...

Most I saw used something like a SATA or a Molex cable to sync the PSUs. I think I could probably get one of them from my server. But I'd probably have to make a common ground myself.

Through googling, I found, that there are little boards that synchronize multiple PSUs. They are intended for mining rigs, but shouldn't they technically also work in my case?

I have an HP Proliant DL380 G7 server, in which I want to install an RX 580 to build a render server. I saw that with a riser, you can use PCI-E cards up to 150 Watts. Sadly, the 580 is rated at a TDP of 185 Watts. Can I use a secondary PSU to power the 580? I know that the proper thing to do...
