Hi guys. I have this case + the 200w mean well PSU and a dc-dc 120w connector, thus my motherboard + CPU + ram etc is limited to 120w (will be 160w in the future when I get the 160w dc-dc adapter). I am thinking about attaching a pcie riser cable (with some modding) in order to game on, however I've heard that gpu's pull 75w out of the motherboard through the pcie slot, this would cripple my CPU.. may even render it unusable. Does anyone know anyway to force the gpu to just use power (or for the most part) from the 6-pin/8pin cords coming from the external PSU I would use? (I've searched this on google, but no success..) thanks..
