Oh I did not know about 5V dummy load. What kind of load do you suggest to put on 5V?

Modern Power supply have most Power on 12 V and since we already connect GPU and risers maybe we don't need any dummy load?

Generally its not a good idea to run a PSU with no load, so if you are worried about that just attach a small fan to the 2nd PSU.

Just make sure that only one of your PSU’s powers the motherboard – meaning that the same PSU connects to the 24 pin power connector and the 8 pin CPU power connector, all should feed back to the same power supply.
