Not worth it, just get a HQ PSU from a good vender like cosiar

You can do it by joining their 24 pin connector's green wires so that they will both start simulatenously. This isnt really advisable though, i really suggest grabbing a single good PSU to power your whole system off of.

It is a bit more complicated. The case button activates the motherboard, and through the 24 pin connector, turns on the PSU. As mentioned above, it is possible to jury rig the connection if you know what you are doing.

An alternative is to use an auxiliary psu that fits in a 5 1/2" external bay like this:

Its perfectly safe if it is all wired up correctly and also you will need the room in your case for the second PSU I dont recommend leaving it outside of the case/.

Note that the two PSUs need to share a common ground, which should happen if they are "connected" by being installed in the same case.

it is not safty for you because you are not hardware spacialist.
so you can use FSP Group Booster for dual PSU & i hope you r satiesfied by it

If you use Corsair or thermeltech 750W PSU , you don't need to use 2 PSU in One PC for GPU or 2 GPU(Crossfire)
