Title: sapphire nitro rx 580 4GB PCIE 8 pins only possible to use with overclocking? Post by: Bael on December 06, 2017, 05:34:37 AM Hi
I have a rig with 3 sapphire nitro rx 580, I have ordered three more, so far I have always used the two pcie connectors of 8 and 6 pins. When I expand the rig to 6 gpus I am missing 6-pin cables I have searched for information and it seems that only the 8-pin cable can be used But I also read that if you overclock the gpus you need more power If I overclock the gpus, in this case it is necessary to use the two cables (8 and 6 pins) or is it enough using only the 8-pin cable? excuse my bad english.

you can also overclock it without any issues just don't forget to undervolt to get the bet hash per power Title: Re: sapphire nitro rx 580 4GB PCIE 8 pins only possible to use with overclocking?

This gpu is a good choice. |
