RE: Using 2 ATX PSUs??

Hi Julien

>>It there anything problematic with completing the optimizations using one
power supply and then adding the second?

No, there shouldn't be any problem. I did just that.

>>Once the optimizations are complete should I defeat the PSU's cooling
fan? How do I accomplish that?
Yes, and if you are using Antec, just unplug the two pins socket and remove the four screws to physically remove the fan as well.

>>Can I snip off and insulate the rest of the wiring of the "Clean" PSU?

You should get a modular PSU. In this case, it would be easier to remove the unwanted cables. For me I de-soldered those not required anymore.

I had switched to linear supply for the CPU and hybrid linear and PICO PSU for the mobo, and I can say that switching back to SMPS makes my system not listenable.
