Hey,

I want to use a second PSU for my GPU 5 & 6. How can I connect it to the mobo so that the PSU gets the "start up" command from it?
Do I need a 24-Pin splitter cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/24-Pin-Female-Splitter-Power-Cable/dp/B018B7HCAO
or something like this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11741/cpa-167b/ModRight_CableRight_Single_Braid_Dual_Power_Supply_Adapter_Cable_-_Black.html?tl=g2c473s1309

Thanks for help!

This is all you need.

Follow the instruction videos on their website or YouTube and you can have it set up in about 60 seconds...

There are cheaper or DIY ways to use 2 PSU's but they require cutting wires / using paperclips to connect wires etc, which was a little sketchy to me, so I spent the $13 to get a properly designed device.
There are two versions available, which one should I use?
