Title: [Solved] First rig power problems Post by: wetblanket on December 22, 2017, 05:27:02 PM Edit: I'm a dope, yet again. I completely ignored the SATA -> VGA/PCIe adapters that come with the risers. Problem solved.
Just received the following components for my first rig:
Being new to the scene, I misjudged:
I totally assumed that if you powered the GPU directly, you didn't need to power the riser. Ok, my bad - I'm a dufus. I need 8 VGA/PCIe connectors so each PSU can power 4 risers and 4 GPUs. Each PSU only supports 4 cables, but 2 of the cables have both 8pin (6+2) and 6pin connectors (but too close together to reach both GPU and riser!). How can I salvage this situation and get my rig up and running?
BTW, been a long time lurker on BCT, this is my first post. BCT has been super helpful, thanks to everyone! Cheers! |
