I'm new to mining, I got Thermaltake 1000W gold for 6X 1070 iNNON3D cards, I'm getting worried is it enough to run 6 cards or should i add one more PSU?

Power-wise it's enough if you do it smart (don't run the cards at 100% TDP, Pascals work great when undervolted), but you're not likely to have enough cables to safely attach all those 6 cards. You'll need 6x molex/6-pin for the risers, preferably coming from at least 3 separate cables, and then 6x pci-e connectors for the GPUs (or more, depending on which Inno3d cards you have — I think there are some with 2 pci-e connectors each). So yeah, doable, but better add another PSU to the rig.

I think 1000W is not enough to power 6 x 1070.
As the TDP of 1070 is 150W, so just assume you run at 90% load mean 900W (but I dont expect you set the loading is that much), and 245W to power 6 risers+MB+CPU, you get ~650W for 6 GPUs.
Currently I'm running 6 x 1070 with 1300W PSU. And I always set power limit for every rig is 80-82% for stable 24/7 operation.

Hello, your card are runs about 140-150W at PL 80-85 lvl, and you do have CPU, hdd, mainboard ,memory
So let's calculate  6 x 150w + 100+150W system, all together comes to 1050 W, and you should no that it is not OK to run PSU and 100% capacity - 70-80 % is ok. so that means that you do need to run you card at 50-60% PL level or buy another PSU

How can I run cards at 50-60% Power Level? I will get new PSU next week, Online PSU prices show double. How much Power PSU you suggest me. My board is Biostar TB250-BTC PRO so in coming days I want to add more 6 cards to it.

I have a rig with 7 x GTX 1070 cards and power is at 75% running very stable doing 3050 sol/s on Equihash. All on one 1000W PSU and power draw is 945 when warmer and goes down to 910 when colder. Yes there are some Molex connectors for the risers. I bought the rig ready made from an IT guy on Craigslist. I would have never been able to do such a clean built.

if you don't mind can you please let me know can I use this for the rig ? I'm noob to this does not know much

Not good idea if you are planning for your future mining rig.. if you planning to build 6 or more gpu you need a good psu like corsair hxi 1200i but i don;t know how long this psu lifespan. and use amd series because they can undervolt with stable hash rate..
I don't know  if this psu will be good in gtx 1080ti just waiting also for my thread because i am planning to build 1080ti series rig. .

I think you have to install additional program Msi Afterburner, then there you may change PL level to whatever you like
personally I used to set PL70%, card were working good
well, I think you should have another 500-650W gold psu, korsair maybe? then you can put there 2 GPU or 3 GPU ( if 650W)
and your 1KW will supply the rest

You can easily adjust PL level your GPU are running with  Msi Afterburner or Asus Strix  tuners,  so basically default setting are 100% but you may lower it, so you will save more power
personally I used to set PL70%, card were working good, as for another PSU any decent 650+750W PSU will be good!
