Safe to use multiple pus this way?

[deathtaco]

Hey i want to know if this is a good or bad idea?

having two psu and cutting the green and grey wires on both psu and the wire them both up together.I have seen it been done before but would there be any long term screw ups with this?
this is how it was done in the picture

yes i do know how ridiculous this looks and it would be safer to go out and buy a stronger pus or a ADD2PSU but all im asking is can it be done?

It is a very BAD idea.

You might turn on the other power supply. Those leads are only turn-ON leads, granted, but exposed wiring does not have to have a voltage on it to do serious damage by shorting out to something that does. At least use electrical wire nuts.

It can be done. Not recommended.

Wire colors can vary by manufacturer. Be sure you know what you are splicing. The woodworker mantra sort of applies here..... measure twice, cut once.

explain your hardware and why you think you need two psu's

this i am not going to do with my main pc oh hell no and yes i know it is allot easier to get a ADD2PS that will work this is more will it wont it work for a testing pc with old parts. the main thing im asking is will it cause a fire or just break the cpu,gpu ect

Cooler Master had a power supply connector similar to that years ago so you could use two power supplies in one system. It never allowed you to use two different supplies to power the same device, but allowed you to use multiple supplies to feed power to different devices so one supply wasn't overtaxed. The need for this is practically non-existent now as you can simply buy power supplies that supply more than enough power to run just about anything you want to throw into a computer. Why Mickey Mouse something and run the risk of expensive damage when you don't have to? Cheaper to just do it right the first time.
