I got 2 Eermax 365AX-VE-FMA. +12V=26A, +5V=32A, and +3.3V=32A. One for my PC, the other for a 226W Peltier.
The problem is the one for PC has a lot of spare amp at +12V while the other has a lot of spare amp at +5 and +3.3V.
I want to run them in pararell (as if they were one unit) in order to achieve higher amp rating at every volt to seve both PC and Peltier.
I read on a sticky on how to run AT PSU in pararell. But I am not sure if it could be applied to ATX PSU as well.
I know how to turn on an ATX PSU (Green to Black), if that's the only main concern between ATX and AT PSU.
I also read in other thread where it is recommended to put a diode to isolate the 2 PSUs.
The qustions are:
- Can I just join the wire from 2 PSU together (ie. PSU1 yellow to PSU2 yellow)?
- In the sticky, he does not say anything about diode, is it really necessary or optional?
- To run in pararell config, do I need to isolate one PSU from Ground (as instructed by running AT PSU in serie/pararell sticky)?
Thank you.
