Title: Q: Can PCIe Risers Power up 75W Cards that haven't 6pin connector? Post by: AS10 on August 22, 2017, 03:56:29 PM Can PCI Risers Power up 75W Cards that haven't 6pin connector like GTX 1050 Ti?
Is it safe to run GPU's 24/7 on risers? Title: Re: Q: Can PCIe Risers Power up 75W Cards that haven't 6pin connector? Post by: AS10 on August 22, 2017, 03:57:23 PM This is the riser model i want to use:

Post by: bathrobehero on August 22, 2017, 04:04:47 PM The risers mostly can (anecdotal evidence as I only have 1 kind of riser that can handle it) but it comes down whether or not the PSU and its cables can.
If you can, only plug 1 card to every wire coming out of the PSU regardless if some cables have 2-4 ports. I burnt some cables plugging 2-3 GTX 750 Ti's (60W, no riser) per single Molex (not even sata to molex) cables coming from the PSU. With models that had a 6-pin aux cables as well I could plug 2-3 cards per cable and they weren't even warm. But I learned each card has a built in preference in their BIOS' of what source of power it is using first. TLDR; always only put 1 riser/card per cable coming from the PSU if you can.

Post by: AS10 on August 22, 2017, 04:13:52 PM I have PSU's with 8x 6pin for each PSU so i can use 6pin cables directly from PSU
So risers are safe to use with GTX 1050 ti 24/7 ? Title: Re: Q: Can PCIe Risers Power up 75W Cards that haven't 6pin connector?

I don't see why not. I heard of sketchy risers but none that can't handle cards. Just to be sure check the temp of the cables of the touch after a few hours of mining.

Post by: Cereberus on August 22, 2017, 04:33:37 PM I am running 5 GTX 1050 ti Gigabyte with only a single small fan and low profile cards in 5 different risers, from different generations. I am running them 24x7 and no problem until now, been running for more than 6 months now. Beside that I have only 1 PSU be quiet 600watt silver which is running them fine without problem.
If you want to build a low budget mining rig go for a 6x 1050 ti and mine Zcash. Total cost may be 1200-1400 Euro of the rig.
