Only by routing the rest of the needed power cables outside of the case. Otherwise you need a second PSU to power external cards. My tip was only to point out that if you do ever get to that point, you cant cross power from multiple PSUs into a single GPU, regardless if they are slotted or extended.

From my PSU there is a PCIe cable which splits into 2 PCIe 6/8 pin connector. do i have to plug both into the same GPU or can i power 2 GPU with them?

What do you recommend to buy for  an 4 * 1070s rig when u take into consideration, that i alrdy own a 540w PSU.

-> just buy another ~ 650w PSU and combine it with the 540w or will a 850w with adapters be enough??

is it important that he psu has enough pci6/8 or can i just use these? :

Hey just a quick reminder about the heat it will produce on your pc while mining

You must also buy a good heat sink so your computer will run smoothly.

Looking forward for you computer specs and how many earnings you can get in a week, if you have spare time kindly update me
