Re: Server PSU or ATX PSU?

Can someone clarify the response to the OP's question about having one PSU for the motherboard and the Server PSU dedicated to PCIE adapters for the cards?

I read the reply where someone said they turn on the server pSU 1 second before the main power, but I was wondering if there were opinions on this. I have read other people online say not to do that, but they didn't display a reason why/how it is dangerous.

Thanks

I don't use server PSU's but I have them turn on at the same time by having a dual PSU cord. The one below is good for 2000W or so.

That's exactly the cable I used when I hooked up one 350w (yes I know) and one 650w PSU to a rig with one 1080 and 1080ti and it killed one of the PSU's (I forgot which), I realize - the draw was too much and that 350w does not mean 350w is maximum draw.

I have used it for 6x 1080 TI rigs and they have been running perfectly stable for months and months. This was done with a 1300W and a 1000W PSU. Maybe its a problem with your setup or that particular cable that you received.
