Why shouldn't we treat the CPU as a dirty device?

If CPU power supply is isolated to just P4, using the approach suggested should be fine. So far my tests confirm this. CPU signaling to Northbridge is very important but this we control via software!

I'm suggesting an additional ATX over 1 or more GDs. It seems we don't need an expensive high powered ATX either but for an elegant in-box solution, one could try this:



Sparkle FSP300-601U would fit internally and may require less load to turn on. Note that it offers a P20 instead of a P24 connector.

I was very pleased to learn that GB mobos don't use P24 for the CPU.

Of course, using linear PSUs is the best way forward.
