Hey Everyone,

I am building a GPU miner and decided well into the project that I was going to add a few more GPU's than originally planned.

Unfortunately I already have a power supply installed and I had to mod the case a bit to make it fit. I can't return it for a larger one.


I do have a 12 volt 40 amp power supply available. Could I run the power to the GPU's 8 pin connector from a second power supply without trouble?

What do you all think?

Thanks.

I did the exact same thing when my I was in the mining game in 2017. My MOBO (and everything that was on it) got power from normal 750w ATX PSU. Now, the 6 R9 290 cards got their 8+6 pin from a server PSU. I bought mine from parallelminer.
