Hi
I want to build a 4-mobo custom box with a new Ryzen 9 5950x when available. The idea is to have one server PSU. Something like 80Plus Platinum 2000W+. Server PSU has only a 12V line and at the same time, it is the only voltage that has the most consumption nowadays. There are two ways I think to power it all today:
Questions:
P.S. Please don't post off-topic questions regarding the use case or why don't I just buy 4 ATX PSUs
I want to build a 4-mobo custom box with a new Ryzen 9 5950x when available. The idea is to have one server PSU. Something like 80Plus Platinum 2000W+. Server PSU has only a 12V line and at the same time, it is the only voltage that has the most consumption nowadays. There are two ways I think to power it all today:
- normal low-power ATX PSU with 24pin y splitters + server PSU for powering CPU 4+4 lines and GPUs on all mobos
- Server PSU powering GPUs and CPU 4+4 lines and four Pico PSUs powering mobos.
Questions:
- Will that work or there are any obvious problems?
- Should I connect 12v GND with the GND of Picos or ATX PSU? So that +12V has a common GND.
P.S. Please don't post off-topic questions regarding the use case or why don't I just buy 4 ATX PSUs
