more than one power supply

[joeyd]

Okay here is a quck question. I want to run two power supplys in one pc , i figure that the chip and motherboard will get more juice that way and i can overclock further. how would i go about hooking this up and is it even worth it

I say just go with a very umm...I guess powerful...power supply. >500 Watts should be more than enough...most people are satisfied w/ the 430W.

Are you inquiring on having both PS's operating simultaneously, or are you asking about having two power supplies in the sense of having redundancy in case one fails?

right now money is a problem so a bigger power supply than my 400 isn't optional and i meant it as running them at the same time... i've seen it done before and was wondering if it be worth it.

Would be kinda cool to run all my fans off one psu and all the computer stuff off of another.
