16 GPU Mining Rig Rx580 | Which PSU?

[dieterf]

Hello,
I want to build a 16 GPU ( Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ 8 GB) Mining Rig with the ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT Mainboard
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075KFPJ6M/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_XvSoAbJ86SKKC
Can I use it with 3x Enermax Triathlor ECO 1000W (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AURFSBI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_nxSoAb3Q7F9J9)?
Which adapters are needed to connect all GPUs to the Motherboard?
How should I divide the GPUs to the PSUs?

Thanks a lot,
with best regards
DieterF

Hi, I'm not a pro, but i've been mining for about 1 year now. So from what I know;

I'd either take 3x 1200w or a 4th 1000w, because in my opinion 3x 1000w is a little too tight for 16 gpus.

To connect the gpus to your mobo you need risers (https://www.amazon.ca/Ubit-12-PCS-Bitcoin-Litecoin-ETH-Powered-Adapter/dp/B072XGDWB3/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FFN7KP0E3XJYBH8X5NJR)

Finally I'd divide your GPUs equally on each PSU.

Once again, I'm not a pro, but this is what I would do.

Merry Mining, and a Happy Crypto !

That PSU is not good. Its bronze rated. Search for gold at least.
I think you'll be fine with 2 rigs man.

And you'll need to do your math. Be specific about brand and power consumption expected but always add some room 30% because youll need time to adjust your cards to use the lower voltages.
If you dont have experience, add more power and have in mind that the best case scenario is a consumption of 80% to 85% of your total power. That way you'll have the best efficiency from the PSU.
1 rig with 12 and another with 4 waiting for future expansion...or 2x8. Or even... why not 9 Vegas:
