[PanTheo91]

Hello everyone , the question is simple . I am planning to build a 13 GPU with 13xGTX 1060 . What PSU will you recommend?

2 x 750W will be fine ? or 2 x 1000w?

Thanks

I own one  so  I can tell you  you need 26 pcie cables and about 1600 watts of power.

2 of these  have 7 + 8 = 15 jacks  and each can hold this cable

so you could do up to 15 gpus

but the psu is expensive

phil he cold buy the refurbished



1200 watts for 244

860 watts for 159

they do 8 -1 = 7 pcie  with  double head =  14

and 6 - 0 = 6 pcie with double head = 12

that is 26 jacks for 13 cards.


and 2060 watts  which would allow for  1070's to slowly replace his 1060's

Thanks for your replies guys . So i must go  with corsair PSU not EVGA that i was thinking earlier.  You recommend to buy a psu server type or the standard ones?

I just assume using 2 PSUs and power plan likes:

 - PSU1: 6 VGAs + 6 risers + MB/chip
 - PSU2: 7 VGAs + 7 Risers

if it's the case, both PSU1 and PSU2 should be 850W. You could use 2 x 750W PSU, but the power limit should be reduced.

I have been using these for a while now, and they have been working great.
Using 48 of them so far, and definitely beats the overly price branded psus

Otherwise, server PSUs with a breakout board would work as well, and they are generally cheaper

I'd recommend you to get 2 850W power supplies. It is usually recommended that you don't draw more than 80% of total capacity. Even if you underpower (which you should) in MSI AfterBurner , you should understand that at times GPUs can still draw max possible power. Using two 850W power supplies will work best. I prefer keeping it safe when cost involved in doing so isn't that significant.
