ASUS B250 MB Dual PSU question

[flip4flop]

I am using the ASUS Mining Board and expanding to my second PSU.  In an effort to save some extra connectors I am running one GPU on the MB directly which covers the PSU B slot. 

Can I just use the PSU slots A and C and skip over using B?

ey bro, i can't really understand what you want to do but if you're adding a 2nd cpu make sure to use a Dual PSU connector. look up on youtube how it's used. don't be trying fancy shit and burning down your hardware. just do it like how more experienced people are doing it. GL

no prob, im running 4 VEGA64 on A (incl the 16pin) and their risers on one PSU powering all mobo connections and 2 VEGA64 and their risers on C powered by a separate PSU

its important to use mobo screen output

dont use sata for risers, dont connect GPU direct to mobo 16pin

Thanks why shouldn’t I have a GPU on the motherboard? I don’t see any downside beside it blocking psu spot B.

Unless it's a single-slot GPU, it's also going to block 3 of the 1x slots (and possibly 6 of them if it's a WIDE card like an Aorus or Amp Extreme).

 It DOES work, that's how I've got mine set up right now - but I'm only running 6 total cards on the thing right now, 5 on risers between banks A and B and one in the 16-bit slot.
