Hey there,Unlike the HDPLEX, the Supermicro PSU produces server-spec, clean 12V power, so you can directly feed your GPU and your board’s 12V connector from it, and use a (comparably cheap) pico plugin ATX PSU for the ATX Power Feed- no other transformer required, and less space consuming.However, note that the Supermicro PSU requires some modding to start up- this is what half of this thread is about, you should be able to piece the steps together from it.And whilst at it, you might as well go for a slightly more sophisticated setup and try modding a Pico PSU like described here to onboard 5V standby power from the Supermicro and allow for the Power Supply On (/Off) Signal to be passed through to it.Also, [USER=294]@Thehack[/USER] has developed a 12v plug in doing that pretty much out-of-the-box if you want to get away with less modding!
