Can you power a GPU from a different PSU?

You can still use two cables—it works fine, too. When you plug in two PCIe power cables from such a PSU, you’ll draw power from each rail separately.

Can I use GPU from another computer?

The short answer is, NO. A GPU relies on a processor using a reduced instruction set. That processor can’t do what most CPU’s can do, but it does what it does very quickly. The CPU in your spare laptop is a full instruction set processor and won’t do the job of a GPU.

Can any GPU work with any PSU?

yes, it will work for your specific GPU that has 8+6pins. you need two of those cables (one for each GPU). there is no problem with running a GPU of a single cable.

Can power supply power two computers?

Users will be able to run two fully functional systems independently of one another with only one power supply. The Power Splitter is compatible with all ITX, M-ATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards and ensure stability when the device is operational.

Can I share GPU?

Sharing GPUs can help increase system consolidation, resource utilization, and save deployment costs of ML/DL workloads. GPU-accelerated ML/DL workloads include training and inference tasks, and their GPU usage patterns are different.

Can you power two motherboards one PSU?

Technical Support Yes, the power regulator/controller is on the motherboard, not in the PSU. Having two regulators/controllers trying to control single PSU unit may lead to various issues.

Is it safe to power a GPU from a different PSU?

You know, if it was plugged into a PC instead, the PC would keep tabs on the voltages and shut down if they go over. So yeah. It’s safe, if you do it safely. So quick question, is it safe to do what Austin tried to do; power a GPU from a different PSU than what the system is using?

How do I Turn On my GPU with a power supply?

And have a second power supply hooked up to the gpu and just flip the switch on the psu hooked up to the gpu to turn it on when I want to go on my computer? You’ll need to jumper the green and one of the black wires on the PSU’s 24 pin cable for the permissive to allow starting.

Can I add a second power supply to my laptop?

Click to expand… Technically you can add a second psu, easily but your Dell might be a proprietary psu so you might be out of luck there. You need access to the green pin4 “PS ON#” in ATX spec. I’ve no clue what that is on Dell.

How many 400-watt power supplies do I need for my GPU?

Instead of paying through the nose for a single 1,200W beast of a PSU, just use three 400-watt supplies — one for the motherboard and hard drives, and one for each of your GTX 580 GPUs. It is possible to do this without Add2Psu of course, but it involves cutting and splicing wires, which isn’t ideal.
