First of all, i only have little knowing of electricity... i'm far far away of be an expert.
Almost 98% of powered risers don't include the ground conector, that wokrs perfect if you have only 1 PSU... but a lot of people use 2 PSU's (like i want to do). Then you have this problem... PSU1 power the MotherBoard (MB from here), and the PSU2 have 2, 3 or 4 GPUs... but PCIe lane have 12v and with common powered risers you will have only 12v of PSU2 but the ground is from PSU1. Then, i think you can have a problem because recomendation for 2 PSU's that i found was: DON'T MIX THE POWER SOURCES.
Then my question are:
1. Somebody know which pins of PCIe are the ground for 12v? There are B4, B7 and A4 like he says?... To make a better risers with ground included.
2. Somebody have 2 PSU's and Risers working today, how you set it up?... It will better to plug all risers from PSU1 (primary, the same that power the MB), or in GPUs with PSU2 you plug raisers with that 2nd PSU?
