Power 2 systems with 1 Power Supply - Phanteks PSU Splitter

2015-06-26
Computex 2015 would not have been possible without innovative fantex world-leading Nvidia graphics memory partner Corsair and retail partner and CIX along with silverstone and in wind back in january we've reviewed the fantex mini XL that allowed users to build two systems inside the single case but the main challenge then was how do you actually power the two systems with a single power supply and so fantex has solved that issue with the release of this power supplies splitter so it's this module made for the mini XL case but can be used with other dual system configurations thanks to its low profile nature as long as you find a spot to fit it and so the way it works is you get your source input of a single 24 pin cable and dual eight pin CPU cables that splits the power of output two to 24 pin cables and four four pin CPU cables this will allow a single power supply recommended of about 700 watt and plus to provide enough power for your micro ATX and ITX systems inside the case this would require users to use 24 and 4 pin extensions coming from the power supply splitter but the most important part here is this option to power two systems with one strong enough power supply and give you the option to either turn off one system without affecting the other you will still connect your drives directly via SATA and the GPU will also be fed power directly from the your source power supply because once you cut the power to 24 pin cables the GPU will automatically power off even if it's connected directly to the power supply they shut off this dual system setup and the power supply splitter in action and I think this is absolutely needed to allow us to get outside the box of strictly single system builds and give us the option to build one main gaming rig and maybe another streaming or a server system right above we love that fantex is being this innovative and we certainly will utilize this in a future build so if you have any suggestions put them down in the comments below on the type of systems and components that we should build inside the mini XL case and we'll give you an update once this power supply splitter is finally long first
