Hi guys, so a few days ago my Corsair CX750M power supply had burnt smell and fan noise so I turned it off. Yesterday I turned it back on because I needed something off my computer and then the PSU completely died.
I've emailed Corsair and have yet to receive any response. This PSU has a 5 yr warranty and I'm on year 3 so they "should" replace it no problem.
In the meantime, I had to put my original psu back in and take out my Nvidia GTX card. Went to play Vanilla wow and can only get about 18 fps so that's gonna suck lol
I went and looked in the Nvidia box and found I had a 6 pin connector for the card which has 2 - 4-pin moeller connectors going into a 6-pin connector which feeds the Nvidia. It's used when you PSU doesnt have a dedicated 6 pin. Basically you just plug the 2 4-pin connectors into the 12v rails and then it's combined into the 6 pin which goes on the Nvidia card.
My question is;
Can I use 2 PSUs together?
1 that is in my pc now, < 265w max 12v rail, and 2nd PSU that is 12v < 245w max on it's 12v rail?
I was thinking outside the box saying, well connect 1 end of the 4-pin to one PSU in the computer, and setup the other PSU outside the computer with nothing running off of it except to connect the 2nd 4-pin connector to it.
Results = 1 PSU feeding the computer + Nvidia card and the 2nd PSU feeding only the Nvidia.
