First off, thank you to @virbonus@sueden.social for providing me with the PSU! The idea is pretty simple: combine the different 12V rails from the power supply into a single connection for high(er) current. This power supply has 4 12V rails spread across multiple pins that (according to an online source I found) provide 6A of current each. Soldering 3 of those rails with 4 pins each together should be enough to distribute the current and get the maximum possible power out of the PSU by my calculations. 2/?

    First, to check whether everything is working as expected, I short the "PS_ON" pin on the ATX connector (otherwise the PSU doesn't do anything), then check the voltage on the CPU connector (4+4 pin) 3/?
