The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

nice! I was wondering how that works, now I know what to get in case I'll ever need it
lost link to separate dedicated power for gpus that was in a range of $25 that I sow a while ago in one of the threads.

I'm all about connecting the green and blacks with duct electrical tape method. Any spare bit of wire will do, and you can stack 'em up ad-infinitum Just my 2 cents, which happens to be what I'm willing to spend on that

You really have two options, either connect the green and black wires on the second PSU and have the power on all the time(i.e. you use the switch on the PSU to stop the GPU fans from spinning at 100% while the computer is turned off) or combine them with the green and black from the first PSU and into the motherboard, like that adapter does..
If you know what you are doing you could use a MOSFET switch and hook the second PSU up to a fan but that's a little overkill when you can connect it to the other PSU directly =P

Nice if you have 2 PSU around or if you need more than 1500W on your rig, but honestly buying a single good PSU saves you more bucks in the mid time. A stock PSU has an efficiency that rarely reach 70% (that's means that you consume 100W for every 70 used, or 1000W for every 700). A good PSU will consume less than 800W giving you 700W. In a year of mining that's saves you more than 1700KWh/yr or 300$.

yes but for example a AX1200 is way to expensive whit 60% of them money you buy 2 HX650
Quite true, but you're talking of 2 PSU different, and anyway with the 2 PSU used at 1200W you consume 1900KWh/yr (or 285$/yr) more than using the single AX1200. Over that, I don't know where you live, but here a HX650 costs 110€ and a AX1200 230€ only 10€ of difference.

can you give a link where to see this calculations
Sure, for the Corsair PSU check the specs on their site: AX1200 BX650 The calculation is really simple Absorbed W = Watt/Efficency

Thanks for the info. I will buy one now that I know it is possible without me having to do some re-wiring.

hmm then what PSU can i get for less that 130€ and to tank 5x5850
No one, 5X5850 requires 750W on 12V line to work, plus the disk, motherboard and CPU requirements. You need at least a good 1000W PSU or If you already have a PSU in you PC, you can add a good 650-750 one, Check also that you have enough cables to power up the cards: 5x5850= 10 6 pin power connectors. Try to don't use more than 1 6 pin for molex adapter also, the molex is rated up to 8A max, the 6 pin brings 6,3A each.
