I have a motherboard, the Tyan Thunder Dualan 2500 and it requires two 24 pin psu connectors ro power it, would I need to get two power supplies to be able to run it? I believe so but I don't want to be wrong and short circuit this wonderful motherboard. There are splitters that use 1 24 pin and split it into 2 but I don't believe those are safe . Here's the full build so you'll get the power it is going to need.
- Thunder Dualan 2500 Motherboard
- 8x1gb Registered sdram
- 2 Pentium III 1GHZ (With a Sloket I might upgrade to 2 Pentium 1.4ghz)
- HD 4650 1gb agp edition
- Sata Card (PCI)
- USB Card (PCI)
- Wifi Card (PCI)
- Creative SoundBlaster (PCI)
- 3 500gb Sata Drives
- 1 500gb ide drive
- Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 Case
- 2 750W Power Supplies
- Windows 7 Home 32bit
Below is a link to the motherboard specs and a image of it.

You may have better luck on a more specialized subreddit, as your tech is both 2 decades old if I'm reading correct(?), and not a consumer setup.
Out of curiosity, what's the build for?

Do you have a subreddit in mind? This was the best one I could find. Also, yes, and I am building it as a gaming rig for older games from the 90s to the late 2000s. I will have Windows 7 on it (and maybe XP).

Perhaps /r/retrogaming or /r/retrobattlestations if the other suggested subs are unable to help?
