Title: Power supply question Post by: bill121 on November 14, 2017, 10:00:28 PM I've got a Corsair HX1000 PSU and want to power 3 Vegas with it. I've got 4 PCIe x8 cables each with 2x 6+2 connectors. I've read that it's a bad idea to use one PCIe cable to power both slots on a Vega card but the cables are double the thickness of the PCIe cables that came with the 650w PSU that only have one 6+2 connector.
Should I be able to safely use one cable to power each Vega or should I be looking for another PSU?

Yes, I agreed. One RX Vega TDP is about 300W, your PSU just fit including mobo and others. It is better for you to get another PSU...

There is a guide here in this forum.

There is a guide here in this forum. this. person is correct as only a fool would allow the vegas to pull more then 200 watts a card. so if the 4 cards are 200 watts each it means your psu can work just fine. although I would try to keep each card under 175 watts go to this thread talk to r0mi and soothaa https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2002025.0 Title: Re: Power supply question Post by: ivakar on November 15, 2017, 06:57:04 AM I've got a Corsair HX1000 PSU and want to power 3 Vegas with it.

Of course, if you will properly setup your Vegas, so it should consume about 150-180W from the wall on monero or about 200W for dual eth mining. So total your vegas will consume 600W max. Your PSU and cables can handle it.

Very true and simple recommendation Title: Re: Power supply question Post by: bill121 on November 15, 2017, 11:22:02 AM You don't need other PSU, all you need is configure the cards to work at 150 watts, thats all.

The PSU claims to be able to deliver 1000W constant so should be fine to power 3x Vegas, I've got another PSU for the last, My question is is it safe to use one PCIe cable to power Vega cards ( using both 6+2 the cable has for one card ) cables are double the thickness as the ones that came with the smaller PSU. |
