Hello, Posted this but the thread has been deleted I guess X_X
 
So I'm rebuilding an old rig of mine. It's My Skulltrail system. It has 2 Xeon X5450's at 3.6Ghz, 2 EVGA GTX 295 Red's, 2 HDD's, 1 SSD, and a ****load of Delta Fans. The case is Now a Azza 9000 and I just got new PSU's for it, 2 Corsair CX750M's. My question is, How should I hook it Up? I have already made a Double 24Pin connector to Combine the Ground and Start Wire, so next, Is it safe for One PSU to power a GTX 295, and then power the first 8 Pin conector to CPU 1, and then use PSU to power GTX 295 2, and the Second 8 Pin connector going to CPU 2? As far as I know, this should be safe, I've seen others do it (Even Kingpin used 4 PSU's) So I don't see any issues with such a hookup. Correct me if I'm wrong. (This machine pulls almost 1.4K watts at full load, this is needed"

    I don't see any problems with it.  I would suggest mobo and 1 295 on one PSU and other PSU handles other 295 and all your deltas.  I have seen the 2-1 24pin jack done many times before, usually no problem at all with it.

    Okay cool. To confirm, I have found that GPU's 6 and 8 pin grounds connect to the motherboard grounds. So because of this, wouldn't it be the same if i used both PSU 8 Pins? one for each CPU? Only ask cause I'm trying to save some time instead of waiting for it to arrive during these holidays XD
