Dual PSU adapter

[Master&Puppet]

I'm having trouble sourcing one in the UK, I would usually just make one from an extension and spare plug but I haven't got the equipment to solder that. I've taken a look at all the usual suspects - Aria, overclockers, scan, specialtech, amazon, ebay but I can't find one in the UK. Any ideas?

Ta,

Lol thanks I had seen that one but was just surprised I couldn't find one anywhere else (and that is from the US

) Still if that's all there is then I'll have to get it.

Could you make one? I could have a go if not?

What is that used for?

What is that used for?

for using two psus in one rig/configuration, one topower mobo cpu sb drives etc. and a second high performance one to power gpus etc. the adapter is used like a 4 pin in a 20+4, it provides higher stability etc.

Yea it's quite easy to make, just take one psu extension cable, a spare female connector and two wires. Just need to solder the green and black across to earth the second psu and make it start up at the same time as the one powering the mobo.



Thing is that I'd still have to get the parts above and I haven't got a soldering kit anyway so I might as well just buy the damn thing!

No need so solder, shrink tubing and some wire strippers will do it.

You reckon? Yea I suppose so. Maybe I'm just being lazy lol. Once I've bought the extension and other bits it is only a couple of quid more to get a professionally made one shipped to me!

 

[PEXON]

True dat, but I could make one and sleeve it for ya too!

Well if you are going to twist my arm over it then I would very appreciative!
