Modern computer components consume more and more energy, so it often becomes necessary to purchase a new, more powerful power supply that will withstand the appropriate load and ensure the stable operation of all devices. However, powerful PSUs are quite expensive. A good way out of the situation can be considered the purchase of the second unit, which will take on part of the load of the first device.
Necessary
- - 2 power supplies of the same power;
- - screwdriver.
Instructions
Step 1
Assign the roles of each of the power supplies. For example, one device will supply power to the motherboard, while a second device will provide electricity to the hard drives and DVD drive. If you have a particularly powerful video card installed in your computer, then it is better to organize additional power supply for it.
Step 2
Remove the covers from both power supplies, unscrew their boards and fans. Take the 6 black wires from the left PSU and solder them to the same spot on the other PSU. Take the green wire and solder it to the matching wire on the second device. Remember to parallel the black and white cables so you can remove the rest of the wiring. If necessary, you will have to lengthen some of the tails.
Step 3
Bolt both blocks. It is advisable to equip each of the devices with additional cooling. Air from the cooler will flow through the double wall, which will prevent overheating.
Step 4
Place both devices in the power supply and connect all cables according to the device and motherboard diagram. Start your computer and check if it works. If something went wrong, you will have to disassemble both devices again and re-solder the wires.
