There's a correct way to solve the problem. You can get a GPU dock for like $100-300. Or you can get a long PCIE riser for like $20, and hook up an unused PSU and jump the start pins on the ATX cable with a paperclip. There's a correct way to use multiple psus too, but I had a paperclip and didn't have a jumper cable. Anyways it's stable enough that uptime is at a year and it hasn't started a fire yet.
Oh I had a gaming computer once with two PSUs like this once.
I'm not saying I have a better solution or a better setup at home. I'm doing something extremely similar. I would 100% say that my solution sucks.... But it works.
There's plenty of ways to do it.
I wanted to get an x16 to dual oculink 8x connector card with a matching dock, so I wouldn't have to give up any bandwidth while getting high end graphics going, but I can't find anything that fits that bill. So I have a riser cable bodged together with the case of my system perpetually open.
It works. I don't love it, but I don't have the time/money to find/buy what I feel would be more ideal. So this is what I've done.
I don't want to give up half the PCIe lanes and I can't find a way to do that with anything that's not a riser cable.
So here I am.
