1 PSU 2 Motherboards

[SheepOnDrugs]

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.

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 ? - Yes, but it needs to be a powered riser for the later cards.

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

two psu's for two motherboards, one psu will lead to trouble.

So if you power on the 1st motherboard but not the second then the second motherboard will still receive full power even though its switching circuit will expect it to be off, I suspect that a few motherboards will have a problem with that electrically.
