Title: did anybody try 3 power supplies
Post by: aarigs on February 13, 2018, 01:03:52 PM
Hi,
I've got 6 cards, 2 supplies but I bought additional 2 cards and I'd like to add third power supply.

Anybody tried it?

Tx.

This works. I've done it with a Vega Rig and 3x EVGA 750W G2's.

Yes, it can. You can do this scheme:
Use two Relay Tool (add2psu, etc) for 2nd and 3rd PSU

Use Relay Tool (add2psu, etc) between 1st PSU (that powering Mobo) with 2nd PSU, and use jump-start with 3rd PSU.

Use jump-start for 2nd and 3rd PSU.

Note: If you are using jump-start technique, make sure your PSU produce a right voltage. You can use 5v dummy load if your PSU didn't produce right voltage.

Yeah it is possible. But I would suggest you to simply to buy a more bigger power supply and use 2 of them. And not 3x if you are not experienced enough. Or simply get a friend to help out in this field.
