Title: Can Corsair HX1200i power supply power six cards AND motherboard?
Post by: geekcryptogal on January 05, 2018, 02:33:04 AM
Could a single Corsair HX1200i handle 6 GTX 1070 ti video cards (180 watts a piece) along with 1151 socket motherboard, celeron processor and SSD?

Yes, just do the proper clocks, unlike AMD's Nvidias don't need OC to obtain nice hashrate and better efficiencies

this is nice read for mining with 1070 ti's

1070s shouldn't need 180w I have a few rigs of 6 1070s and my kill a watt meter says there just around 800w. I am using EVGA 1000w power supplys and they have all been running for 7+ months.

We are running 6x 1080 ti overclocked on 2x Corsair HX1000 without any problems. So yes it will be enough for sure.

It should be enough, but does it have enough cables to power cards +risers ? Make sure you check if its 6/8 pin and how many.

Question here, with the HX1200 6pin peripheral/sata port, can I use PCI-E 6pin Male to Dual Male PCIE 8pin (6+2pin) Graphics Video Card Power Cable like the one on the link below in eBay to power 6 pin riser cards?

My intention is to use one cable per GPU and one cable per riser instead of daisy chain.
