Title: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig? Post by: nic202 on January 14, 2018, 04:54:51 AM Hi, My first rig build is going to be: GPU: 6 x Galax GeForce GTX1070Ti EX Sniper White 8GB GDDR5
CPU:Intel Celeron G3900 Dual Core LGA 1151 2.8GHz Processor Power Supply: Corsair HX1200M 1200W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply SSD:Kingston SSDNow A400 120GB 2.5" SATA III SSD SA400S37/120G Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard RAM: Crucial 4GB (1x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz Memory 6 powered Risers and a open air frame. Do i need to purchase any additional wires of anything to get my rig running or do i have all i need?? Should this be fine to just plug into a power outlet or do i need to check if it can handle it first? I live in Australia if that helps. Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig?

Yes, from the looks of it you're short of cables., your GPU requires 1x6pin and 1x8pin PCI-e cables, basically you need 8pins(6+2)Splitter to accommodate your 6x1070tis, what's in the PSU box are 2x (6+2)pins , 2x(6+2)pins with 6+2 splitter, 2x 8pins. and I am not including your risers here, however you can use the peripherals in 1 is to 1 concept that sata could handle the power ratings.

Post by: BitBustah on January 14, 2018, 09:27:53 AM Go for the HX1200i if it is not too expensive. You can plug an USB cable into this PSU and measure your total power usage, set fan curves etc.... Then you don't need that wall power meter. I got my hand on a second hand one and I LOVE IT.

Post by: dcjim1 on January 14, 2018, 11:25:08 AM Do you keep your power meter plugged in while the rig run 24/7? I'm wondering if it can handle the current on a 24/7 basis.... planning to get one of those or a smart meter, help me decide...!! Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig?

A few of mine were DOA so I had to get replacements... it was a pain to single out the bad ones. Sometimes its just the usb cable.... Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig? Post by: BitBustah on January 14, 2018, 01:33:34 PM planning to get one of those or a smart meter, help me decide...!! A Corsair PSU from the "i"-series. Then you don't need those meters. ;) Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig? Post by: Bimmber on January 14, 2018, 02:03:05 PM That`s if you use ATX, not server psu`s :)

Also i found this wire diagram on reddit ( https://www.ebay.com.au/i/332421292719?chn=ps) does this look like the best way to wire it all up? I am not to sure what you mean when you say "am not including your risers here, however you can use the peripherals in 1 is to 1 concept that sata could handle the power ratings." Is the diagram just the easiest way to do it? Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig?

How many of those splitters would i need , just 1? now that's the right diagram, however its a bit tricky since you will be using splitters to power up GPU PCIe, but still same, from the picture at http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/hx-series-hx1200-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu-na seems you need at least 4 splitters Title: Re: Do i need any thing extra to assemble my first rig?

Nice GPU, I like the cooling capabilities for this card. Nope, your cables should be enough, you don't need splitters on this |
