Title: Mining Rig Post by: Rih-007 on April 15, 2021, 03:49:54 PM Hello,
I am currently assembling a mining rig, however I have a question, would a Corsair Enthusiast Series RM1000x, Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold 1000 Watt ? I currently planing to use RTX 3060, (2) 2060, 1080ti and 1070ti. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Mining Rig Post by: miner29 on April 15, 2021, 09:45:24 PM 3060 = 120W
2060 = 140W 2060 = 140W 1080ti = 170W 1070ti = 130W = 700W so even with Mobo and pcie you should be ok...will be close...but you can always come down a little in gpu power (115/130/130/160/110) if you have too. Check and make sure it has enough power plugs for the PCIe 6 & 8 pins but total watts looks doable. Title: Re: Mining Rig Post by: XUR_TIP on April 16, 2021, 05:57:56 AM 3060 = 120W Motherboard, CPU, cables draws power too, the whole watt needed to run those graphic cards must be calculated as well, I'm sure 1000w isn't healthy, it's always good to have more room available to prolong powersupply life, 1200watt for me on this setup 2060 = 140W 2060 = 140W 1080ti = 170W 1070ti = 130W = 700W so even with Mobo and pcie you should be ok...will be close...but you can always come down a little in gpu power (115/130/130/160/110) if you have too.

Besides, you have only 6 cables for carts, 1080Ti definitely needs 2, 1070Ti might need 2 as well. And that's only on ETH mining, if you switch to any other coin power consumption will rise 25-35%. Title: Re: Mining Rig Post by: FP91G on April 16, 2021, 11:00:15 AM The 1080p video card should be properly connected with two different 8-pin cables. But if you lower the consumption to 180 watts, you can use 1 cable 8 pin + 8pin, because Corsair RM Series power supplies have high quality cables.
If the graphics card settings are reset: 4 * 150 (other GPUs) +250 (1080ti) +100 (Mobo) = 950 Watts It is better to use Hive os, I have not seen there a reset of the settings of video cards, as on a Windows system.

I've heard of multiple cases when Corsair power supplies had their connectors melted at PSU side. Just an observation. However good any PSU might be there's always an individual who manages to fry it LOL Title: Re: Mining Rig Post by: Zotak337 on April 17, 2021, 06:22:13 AM The 1080p video card should be properly connected with two different 8-pin cables.
