Title: Can I power two risers using 6 pin to dual 8(6+2) pin? Post by: pseftiko on November 26, 2021, 04:14:14 AM I have a 6 pin to dual 8 pin splitter. I was wondering if I can power two risers with it? I'm powering it from a breakout board connected to a Server PSU.

I would use this scheme for video cards that consume no more than 150 watts without fear. Title: Re: Can I power two risers using 6 pin to dual 8(6+2) pin?

If 130 watts, then OK If 190 watts, then this is a bad solution. 2 moment, this is the quality of your adapter. If there are high-quality cables and good crimping, then OK. For such video cards, I would use this as a temporary solution. If possible, I would add 1 more cable to your server PSU, or buy the necessary PSU and use your PSU on another farm. The cost of the error is very high, so I would only use it for a temporary solution when consuming no more than 150 watts per video card. |
