My first 8gpu rig 6 pci + 2 pci m.2 need recommendation on PSU

[mewhoyou]

I do agree with you but you mention you have 8gpu on 1000w is something I would like to learn from you. Do you mind sharing the cabling diagram or a pic would do.

I have a plat 1000w with 8 x 8pin but I am worried to push it.

There is nothing special about it, just connect everything together. Only thing, I am using gtx 1070 with lowered power limit, so they consume only 100-110W.

When you use 2 psU, the other one you just short the 2 pin to force it to power up? need any 5V load to have full 12V power?

I use ATX power connector, connects ATXs cables from both PSU and goes into motherboard. So yeah, it just takes 2 pins and joins them together.

What was your actually mobo you used for this setup?

You did not specify anywhere I saw. Thanks

I haven't tried it myself, but if you want stability, i would power it whenever possible.  just b/c something works right off the bat doesn't mean that it's the best option if you value PEACE OF MIND.
