Title: a new mining setup...
Post by: aliitp2 on March 11, 2021, 08:55:29 AM
Hi Guys,

am still building my first mining RIG

just wondering i got 1 of these currently and ordering some more from DIFFERENT BRAND (gpuminers.com)

but my question regarding this:
https://www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B08NTLGCVH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think i will run out of PSU cables and ports to power all 5x risers and 3x 3060 Ti(s) + 2x 3070,

So is it safe and fine to run this riser with the included sata port coz i got PLENTY of those...

what should i do since i got only 8x PCI-E Headers available and i JUST bought this PSU today (silverstone 1200w) and i really like it  ;D

any advise appreciated...

The riser is safe, it's same with what I'm using presently just make sure you don't draw power from the sata cable that come with the riser cos they are bad and can't handle high watt power, it can melt or even start fire

To be fair with you:
Isn't pretty but the normal solution is: Hp server PSU 1200 watt ( refurbished)+ 12 PCI  Breakout board + cable  for the card
+ a stupid PSU for powering just the risers. We pay electricity more than you do ....  but on top its a very clean installation

So, I will stop the order of the very nice but not so much pcie - happy psu.

The riser is good , btw

You mean six pin molex cable? Its way better than the sata to 6pin that follows the riser, if you look careful the 6pin molex has stronger wires than the cheap sata to 6pin cable

I was referring to the normal molex cable 4 pin I believe

Is it safe ? And how to know how much amps it can support ?

Thanks,

First you need 2 pcie power splitter and the 009s riser is good, they had 2 led indicator 12v and 3.3v, keep in mind power splitter only max for 200w, and put on psu biggest cable, above 200w you got burned the cable, either you splitter or pcie psu

That's some awesome info, thanks a lot for sharing, I guess a riser needs 75 watts only ? So this mean  molex cable is OK to.power up a riser ?...

Thanks again....

200w per splitter only ?!? That means I can only safely use a splitter to power two risers only not a riser and a gpu ???!....

I already ordered these: https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B08YCX59QV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_172EHA8572Z3RPS3PGA3
