Youre a newbie so i will give you the benefit of the doubt and appreciate your thorough reponse. But at the current OC settings and a 60%power limit set, each card only draws 70-75w (as i have already said, twice)
I think you need to bare in mind that people mining with cards will inevitably not have them set to use the 100% of their rated power consumption.
Apologies, definitely not trolling just trying to help. I might've misunderstood your first post thinking you mentioned the 6-pin's designed power draw rather than the GPU's power draw.
I still stand by what I said earlier though, feel free to correct me if you think these numbers are wrong. Source is wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Power.
6-pin max designed power draw: 75W
GPU power draw (sourced from your post): 70-75W
PCI-E riser power draw: ~10W (I don't know the exact draw for a 1060 so to be on the safe side I'm using what the slot is designed for)
Given that, if you split the 6-pin your draw would be 80-85W, and the 6-pin is designed for 75W. Could you run this? Maybe. My opinion is I wouldn't. I'll leave the floor open for other opinions.
Theres a little confusion here as ive factored the gpu and riser combined to be 70-75w per card. From what ive read the technical "official" spec is 75w but the actual technical spec is around 175w based on wire gauge and load on each cable etc. But nevertheless i appreciate your replies and providing various other info
