Combining 2 Power Supply (PSU) in 1 computer/PC
Along with the increasing need for high-specification computers, the role of power supply becomes vital to be able to provide power as needed. Usually what requires a large power supply is a high-end VGA. For The importance of choosing a quality Power Supply (PSU) for Computers and Tips for choosing a quality power supply you can read in the previous article.
Starting from the number of hard drives installed in my computer, namely 1 terra, 750 GB, 500 GB and 320 GB. Although I use a computer with a 3.4 GHz core i3 specification and 4 GB RAM, the computer performance is very slow and unnatural.
Finally for the other 2 hard drives I added another power supply, and as a result the computer performance became normal. Incidentally there is a 200 Watt Pure power supply built into the HP computer. I have also experienced this kind of thing in the past when comparing using a fake power supply and a quality power supply. It turns out that when using a quality power supply computer performance becomes better.
From this experience, I concluded that the performance of computer components becomes less than optimal because the power needs are less or not met. And I found many cases of hard drive damage caused by using a fake power supply. Even though the contents of the hard drive are sometimes more important than a few dollars to buy a quality power supply.
Actually, it is not difficult to combine 2 power supplies in 1 computer. we simply connect green cable and black cable which is on the connector connected to the motherboard. For more details, please see the image below:

In the picture above, one connector is connected to the motherboard, while the other is not connected. In this way, when the On/Off button is pressed, the power supply can turn on at the same time. Likewise, when the computer is shutdown both power supplies also turn off.
