I have a couple of 500 Watt Antec Psu's and I want to build a connector that will power them on at the same time. Using some info in an ATX Spec pdf here http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/atx2_2.pdf, It seems like I can connect the green wires on my 24 pin MB connector(pin #16) to the green on the other PSU and then connect a black to black(ground) on both PSU's.
Does anyone see any problem with this setup? Ultra Products sometime ago had a device that would do this but I can not find it anywhere the model number was "ULT40011" http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image_scroll&products_id=21193&image_scroll_id=0
Is there anything that is missing or is not being shown here that I should be aware of ?
I want to use this on an ASUS Maximus Formula SE MB that I want to max out. I will however be trying the adaptor out and an older MB first -- I don't want to burn up either though.
WHY am I doing this rather than getting a 750 Watt or higher PSU?
1. Power requirements are being reduced for high end equipment
2. I already have these decent PSU's from builds that got little use because they were dedicated machines for tasks that have now bwwn combined
3. I want to have 1 PSU powering the MB(ASUS Maximus Formula SE ), CPU(Q6600), Video card(x1900xtx now but going to HD3870x2) -- the other PSU powering the case fans(8), 4 hard drives, 2 optical drives, a water cooler for the NB on the MB.
I could probably just keep the to totally separate and turn them on individually but what about grounding? I do not know enough on the subject to know if the PSU needs to be grounded beyond mere case contact.
I know enough on this subject to be dangerous to myself, my computer and my house. That is why I am begging your input here.
Thanks
