Title: Guys I need your help - PSU problem - buy advice
Post by: bi0s2 on August 24, 2017, 07:44:48 PM
Hello there!

I've fucked up I guess.

I bought this stuff:

- 12 power risers v006c 6-pin:

- 6x GPU: SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 580 8 GB (11265-01-20G)

here it comes: the GPU needs 6+2 *AND* 6-pin pluggin to PSU......
I plan to buy TWO PSU (750w - 850w. w/e)

since I want to connect all GPU pins and the power riser's 1:1 to the PSU with the 6-pin I have no idea which PSU can do this with enough cables.... any advice?


Best wishes

Ask in the ALTCOIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0) section for answers.
This is the Bitcoin section and as the top post here states "No posts about GPUs or altcoin mining here, use the correct sub-forums"

Any Server PSU with a breakout board and 6-pin cables will work if you are looking for an economic way to power these things. Normal computer PSUs also work, but they are generally more expensive. I use DPS-800GBAs with their breakout boards for pretty much all my operations as they are pretty much silent and are very durable.

For the CPU, assuming you aren't doing XMR mining or something like that a PicoPSU will save you a lot on the PSU side as well.
