Title: PSU output combine question
Post by: volosator on June 27, 2014, 10:57:41 PM
Hello,

I just got my 5 KNC cubes.
Power requirement says: 3x800W, or 2400W
I have multiple power supplies, each of them is capable of 850W. The question is - can I combine all of outputs of power supplies and feed the monster?

Only if you want to burn down your house.  Standard ATX power supplies do not have a means to load share.

I highly recommend NOT using load balancing, as the above says. If you can trace each PCI-E back to an individual device then thats a different story.
