Title: PSU with only 4 pci-e connectors. Post by: JungleOnion on June 20, 2017, 02:23:35 AM So I want to build a 6 gpu rig but this PSU
Thermaltake TPG-1200F Toughpower Grand 1200W http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002400 The thing is is that it only have 4 pci-e connectors. Is there a way around to connect my 6 cards? I don't know if this is what this cpu to pci-e converter tries to achieve no? http://www.thermaltake.com/Power_Supply/Accessories_/PSU_Cable/C_00002413/CPU_8Pin_to_Dual_PCI_E_6_2Pin_Splitter_Cable/design.htm If there's no way to work this out I know there's only two options: Buy another psu like a 500 watts one and use both, connect 4 to the 1200 watts and 2 in the 500. Or buy a 1200 watts psu that has 6 or more pci-e connectors I wanna know what can I do with the one I have already, any help appreciated guys. Title: Re: PSU with only 4 pci-e connectors.

So I have 4 580 and 2 570. Title: Re: PSU with only 4 pci-e connectors. Post by: MA3A on June 21, 2017, 05:02:12 AM Look what connectors you have on your cards 6pin-125W 8pin-150W then it will be easy to understand, as you did not specify what models you have. I would assume this PSU has at least 16AWG wires and uses all 8Pins/wires...

So I have 4 580 and 2 570. so if the 580's have 8 pins and the 570's have six pins it could be hard. if they all are six pins you should be able to do 5 for sure and 6 maybe depends on how you clock Title: Re: PSU with only 4 pci-e connectors.

The cards, all use 1 8-pin connector, and I have two nitro+ rx570 that uses also an extra 6-pin but it says on the website its optional. Title: Re: PSU with only 4 pci-e connectors.

But How am I gonna do it if I only have 4 pci-e ports with double 8-pin cables? do I use like 1pci-e to 2 pci-e adapter in 2 or something? |
