Title: 1 PSU 2 Motherboards Post by: SheepOnDrugs on January 03, 2014, 04:06:25 PM Hey,
I am currently using a 1500W PSU which only got one 24 pin connector. Is there any adapter or another way how I could plug in another motherboard? I don't want to buy another PSU and when I first bought this one I didn't really think about that 1500w uses a lot... >.< And I've got another question. I've got one spare PCIex1 slot on my motherboard, can I use a PCIe Riser x1 to x16 and then use another GPU on that ? Any help would be appreciated.

Of course your MB probably needs a 4pin connector as well so you would have to look for a Molex to 4pin which are available on ebay Title: Re: 1 PSU 2 Motherboards Post by: Equate on January 04, 2014, 08:39:18 AM two psu's for two motherboards, one psu will lead to trouble.
