Using two Pico-PSUs

[Joshua_158]

I have built my own computer case which only allows the use of a Pico-PSU but the biggest one I have found is only 300W, I have used online power supply calculators and they say I need at least a 350W to power the PC so my question is can I use two Pico-PSUs (One for computer and one for graphics card)?

Yes you can but you need them both to start at same time. You can bridge Green and Black wire from one 20/24 pin for MB to secondary one or by an adapter that does essentially same thing. Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-pin-To-Dual-24-pin-ATX-Power-Supply-Connector-Splitter-Dual-PSU-ATX-adapter-/231270348107

Is this safe to use?
I plug 1 PSU only with 6 pin (or 2x6) to GPU and the 2nd in everything else: CPU,HDD... ?

If THE ONLY THING the second psu is powering the GPU then yes fine, but if both are powering diffrent things, ie. on on HDD one on CPU power, then better make sure they power on at the same time and are identical

So I can use different PSU's with this cable, and use 1 only for GPU and 1 for everything else?

Umm. Possibly? The 6 pin is only auxiliary for the PSU.. The slot provides 75W... If the PSU's are identical.. I say yes but ask on of the PSU pros on here

I don't see why you specifically need a pico. They just look like extremely compact PSU... Unless your case is too small I would think you would be OK using a standard atx PSU.. Again ask some of the PSU pros on here
