two power supplys?

0 ⤊

Ok, so my problems continue. I ordered a motherboard off ebay, It didn't power up at all, not signs of life in it. But my original problem came from an old PSU melting to the mobo, there is no burns on the other side and it still for the most part works but I wanted to upgrade my video card.

If I left the melted psu in the mobo connected only to the 20 pin connecter. Could I use a new power supply and connect it to the video card and harddrive without having a melt down or something? If so is there any tips so I can make it decently safe?

~Mike, thanks

Yes, you can use a separate PS to power the video card. Messy looking, but it'll work.
