RE: cMP PSU Recommendations: Better, Best... and UNOBTAINIUM

121.254.127.215

If low ripple is what means the most to you, the Corsair HX520/620W PSU is much worth considering. The ripple tests from SPCR for that PSU is amazing for a 520W PSU, which is 3.2mV max for the +5V line. I've been thinking about connecting the peripherals to my current XG Magnum PSU (I power them with mundane AC adapters right now), and use the HX520 (made "external" via the connector plate provided by the old PSU) to feed the MB and CPU.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to power the CPU and MB with different PSUs without damaging the system? I predict a significant improvement in SQ if (big "if") that could somehow be accomplished.
