One problem with running a multicard graphics setup is that it often means
splashing out on a bigger PSU to cope with the increased power demands.
Fitting in a 5.25in bay, the X3 Booster from FSP is a 300W PSU designed to
power only your graphics cards.
You’ll need to hook it up to the mains using the supplied expansion plate and
power cable. It requires a 4-pin Molex connecter from your PSU to start the unit
at the same time as the system.
A cable then runs from the expansion plate inside your PC up to the Booster
X3 unit. Using the supplied splitter, you can then provide your graphics cards
with their own power supply.
