Constructing a PC with two power supplies typically involves intricate manual wiring and precise timing to prevent operational conflicts. Singularity Computers addressed this challenge by releasing a compact device that automates the synchronization process. This solution simplifies multi-PSU builds for enthusiasts seeking redundancy or specialized cooling setups, eliminating the complexity of managing independent power rails.
New $29 accessory automates dual power supply synchronization
The product, called the PSU Node, is a dedicated hardware accessory designed specifically for systems that utilize more than one power supply unit. It acts as a bridge between the secondary power supply and the motherboard, ensuring that both units start and stop together. The device is designed for PC builders experimenting with dual-PSU configurations for high-end gaming or workstation applications.
Specifications
- Price: $29 USD
- Connectivity: 24-Pin, 4-Pin header, PWM header
- Function: Synchronizes multi-PSU signals
The Node connects to the secondary power supply via its standard 24-Pin motherboard power connector. It then links to the primary system through a 4-Pin header and a motherboard PWM header. This specific wiring setup allows the Node to read the power signals from the main system and relay them to the secondary unit. This ensures a synchronized startup sequence, preventing one power supply from operating while the other remains inactive.
Singularity Computers lists the PSU Node at $29 USD (around $29.00). The device is available globally for this price. The low price point makes this accessory an affordable option for users adding a secondary power supply to their systems. The company announced the product on August 12, 2024.
