You don't need to waste your money on that, just jump the green and black wire on your ATX connector.
Your PSU will turn on the moment that you flip the power switch.

Hi guys;

If there is anyone who has a bigger rig that needed 2+ Power supply boxes connected - please, if you have a moment - send some help this way.

So, I got this situation; 2x GPU - 1x power supply.
What I wanna do: 4x GPU - 2x power supply.

So I did read up a bit, and I found this https://coincable.com/product/dual-psu-power-supply-24-pin-adapter-cable/

Basically, from what I understand - this is THE cable that serializes the ATX power supplys and makes sure that both get up when computer starts, right?
Question is:

Is this alone good enough for the system, or is something missing? I was told that there is a possibility for this set up to go bad, for some reasons. Such as burning out components due to electricity voltage fluctuation. I know shit about electricity and electronics, pretty much, so I need help.
As I saw here people with up to 200 GPU's working, I'm sure that someone here knows exactly how this goes.

If you can explain, or point me to valid article/content on the web for this, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
