Re: Dedicated PSU for GPUs?

My PSU refuses to provide power to GPUs if 24pin and 8pin cable are not connected to motherboard. Is there anyway to trick the PSU so I could have a dedicated PSU for GPUs?

ATX PSU are turned on when Pin 14 on the 24pin connector is pulled to ground. Pin 14 is usually wired with a green wire. So the simplest way to make this work, you just need to use a wire or something to connect that to any ground pin (black wire). A better way is to connect it to your main PSU so that it will turn on/off accordingly as well.
