Title: Will 7 GPU Cards Fry My Rig? Post by: hungrybits on May 26, 2017, 04:06:19 PM Hey Guys,
New to mining - I usually just trade on exchanges. I went out and got the following to get some Ethereum: i3 Core GigaByte Z170X-Gaming 6 7x AMD Raedon RX570 1,500 Watt Power PCI USB Riser Cards Right now the 7 USB riser cards attached to my rig and GPU cards. No overclock yet. I'll be installing Claymore (currently installed Ubuntu). My main concern is frying the whole thing as I'm not the most technically savvy person on the planet. Any suggestions or advise so I don't burn my house down...? ;D Title: Re: Will 7 GPU Cards Fry My Rig?

Also, don't put more than 2 risers on the same molex/sata cable coming from the PSU. Title: Re: Will 7 GPU Cards Fry My Rig? Post by: hungrybits on May 26, 2017, 07:01:33 PM Thanks. I'll take your heed your words, and try not to do anything stupid on this machine.
