Topic: Can I supply a GPU with a Server HP PSU? (Read 437 times)
turn on the server PSU about 0.5 seconds before your computer and you will be fine.
This should work. If you can line the PS_on pin to the server PSU, that should also work. There are products like

Hi there, I have a doubt.
Can I give 12v to a GPU (turn it on) before I turn on the mainboard? would that be a problem?
I have a Gigabyte 7970, and a MSI Z77A-GD55, I also have a generic "500 Watt" PSU to supply the mainboard, and a HP DPS-1200FB PSU; I'm wondering if I can use it to supply only the GPU.
Assuming that I can supply the GPU with that HP PSU; Due that those PSUs works separately, do I need to turn them on at the same time? or can I turn on the HP before the generic one?
AFAIK, I can use a relay of 5V or 12V connected to the generic psus 5v/12v rail... so, it will turn on the PSU at the moment I turn on the mainboard... but before I do anything and burn something I need to know if I'm right or how should I do it.
Thanks in advance.
