How many PSUs do you have and their 12v rail power rating? How many GPUs do you have and their power consumption or model? Also, your 6/8-pin PSU cable should be able to withstand the current drawn by the two split wires. Most "good brands" does.

gpu mining mines alt coins and needs to be in altcoin mining. You need to be sure you do not over clock the gpus. If they all pull 130 watts you would be at 910 plus gpu and cpu and ram and fans say 90 total 1000. I do not like rose will as I find they do burn out when pushed. If you do 1000 watts that psu will fail in under a year. I have mined with a lot of rose wills and 70% or less. is best for them. so you want to pull about 840-900 watts with it not 1000. i just checked the pinout and it does 12 pin pcie jacks. they are more subject to over heating. I would run six cards not seven. It is single rail which is easier to mine with.

Title: Re: Setup mining Rig 6 Pin to Dual PCIe 8 Pin (6+2) one GPU one Riser same cable Post by: huntingthesnark on June 26, 2020, 09:01:07 AM No, use PSU A to power MB and x3 GPU risers and pcies, then PSU B the other GPUS risers and pcies. Power A first, then B.
Either use an 'add to PSU' connector to link the two, or simply short the MB connector on psu B and switch it on second. That way if your two PSUs outputs vary at all, it won't be your gpus in the middle.

Do not trust it. 70-80W is actually 100-120W before the PSU, not even at the wall. It is very important to measure power with something, even cheap power meter plugs are better than software, and it is quite important to know the power consumption of your GPUs, specially if you are close to the PSU limit.
I agree with everything that philipma1957 said, and I would also put 6 GPUs per rig, specially with a 1200W PSU.

The best would be to use 6 GPUs (both top connectors and risers) + motherboard in one PSU and the other 6 GPUs in the other PSU. Also make sure that the PSUs are below 75% load as philipma1957 suggested. This is true for any PSU if you want them to last.

B250 does have 3 power supplies so just adding a cheap 550watter would do. They cost less than $58usd now.

Okay so the mobo is the part which is faulty. Yeah if those slots are not working shown on the bios then you will be having issues with the rig no matter what power supply you are considering on using.
