    How did you manage the different power switches? I was considering this before finding a hp cable adapter.

          I used the default one for CPU and that and had the other one with a 6pin for the GPU and a short on one of the pins for the 24pin to make it turn on.

            Whoa, you manually shorted the second PSU. Here I was considering binding the signal and ground with jumpers.

              Nah the secondary gpu had a power switch at the back and a single short on the 24pin. That’s it.

                Did you power on the video card first? Any hardware failures? I’m genuinely interested as someone with more power supplies than sense.
