Computers do not work that way, they do not go slower with less voltage. What you might be reading is pure marketing hype, a second PSU to supply power to GPU's will not make them go faster with a better OC.

We are talking logic circuits which either work or they do not which would mean a crash or become unstable.

If you are getting a better OC it simply means that the PSU you used first was not powerful enough to supply power in the first place.

What the product description is saying is with newer GPU's that require more and more power you can either use a PSU that can supply more power or use the X3 Booster to take the load off of a lower rated PSU.

PSU's that have a higher rated watt power can supply cleaner power at higher loads.

This unit will become useful for the same reason that Kal and other with there monster 4 GPU rigs need to use a second PSU for GPUs as the whole system draws to much power for a single PSU, unless you get a much bigger PSU like a 2000 watt unit if they make one that high.

This will not make you rig OC higher.
