Use 2 power supplies to power the SSHub?
« on: June 30, 2011, »
Say you have a power supply that powers strings off the SS Hub... then you add more strings (overloads the original supply you are using)... Can you add anothetr PS by way of the molex connectors to supply more amps?

No you can not hook two power supplies together like that.

it would be the same reason why you cant have more than 2 rails in the same power supply.

one single rail power supply = allowed
one multiple rail power supply = not allowed
any type multiple power supplies = not allowed
