Hi guys,
I had question regarding the 7th gpu installation. all 6 of my rigs are powered by 1300G2 running 6 sapphire nitro+ rx580 8gb, each. I have been searching for a way to insert 7th gpu in the setup for quiet some time since i am single mining and have a lot of spare capacity. From the wall, each rig is consuming 880-890W.
after reading a lot, i have ordered (StarTech.com 6in LP4 to 8 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter - lp4 to PCI express - molex to 8 pin PCIe)
I also ordered (ROKOO PCI-e Express 1X to 3 Port 1X Switch Multiplier HUB Riser Card +USB Cable) as my motherboard is out of pcie slots. This switch needs to be powered by sata/molex connecton.
3 sata cables from the psu are powering 2 risers each and the 4th will be powering the 7th gpu's riser and ssd. To power the 7th gpu, I am planning to connect one end of the molex to 8pin adopter on psu-perf 1 molex cable and other end on psu-perf2 molex cable. The switch will also be powered by either perf1/perf2 molex cable.
Is my planning alright?
Thanks in advance.
