PSU Modding

Has anyone done or seen a duel PSU mod? Just looking to get some more power but dont want and cant see the need to buy a 1200W one when i have a spare 700 about the house. Can anyone post a link or give me a heads up on some info about it .

Regards Danny

I have found these today,
But dont seem to work right. I get 12V and 6V but the PSU doesnt seem to run right at all. Meaning the PSU fans are running very slow.

That doesn't add up to anything near 1200W, a very quick play with an online psu calculator comes up with nearer 650W.

Just done the same thing with my rig and its saying 618Watts.
But when i start to crank the thing up thats a dif matter. My CPU will draw 160+Watts.

Better to be safe than sorry

O just so its clear. I dont need 1200Watts. only need about 700 ish. but atm i only have a 650. So better than going and spending £170 on a PSU i dont realy need i was going to use my spare.
