I read the article in Procooling. There was a link in that article to another source, that source was saying use diode if you want to connect them in parallel, but if I remember correctly, diode will have voltage drop of ~0.7V, which might not be enough Voltage if my PSU is already 11.XX on 12V line.

OnDaEdg was suppose to write something about how to do it, but I guess he was too busy. I read about people who do the Y thingy, that was what I was going, but OnDaEdg and I quote him

"....Some people are just splicing two power supplies together. That is not the correct way to do it, ..."

So what is the correct way?

Thanks.
