Does the H81/H61 Pro BTC Need Powered Risers?

[lorbas]

They actually don't. That is a MAXIMUM for the spec. Most cards I've tested draw 30-50 watts.

Good to know. How was the testing done?

what cards exactly? please post source of the |MAXIMUM SPEC|

Source? I've been doing this a very long time. Go out and get a multimeter and test it yourself, as I did. I've tested the current draw of every type of card I use.  people are looking for a source on something absolutely simple to test.

If you want to see pcie specs, google it. Each 6 pin and 8 pin connector has a design specification, as do the motherboard components, and every electrical device. Much easier to just test it.

hahahahahaha multimeter??!?!?!?!?! do you know why you shouldnt test psu (or anything else?) with a multimeter?

why proper reviews use laboratory equipment worth few grand?



please answer back

Hey kid, do you know how to test current draw? It's not hard, and doesn't require lab equipment. When you try to be cute, don't do it with professionals.

Ive personally measured voltages and current of my psu.Then Ive read how stupid it is.Search about it on google.

(Hope you dont have kids.)

2-3 rigs/day, only using asrock h61/h81 btc boards and ONLY 6x powered risers per rig. both molex connected on every mobo. seeing posts with too much power etc..go back to school

the reason with melted risers and broken boards:

-bad risers

-general noob mistakes, seen all and some are briliant fail.

-cross conected riser/main power from two different psus. use the same psu for riser and main gpu power on every card. dont power the riser from one psu and main gpu power from other psu. usually 3+3 cards or 4+2 cards

-main reason that all web is searching for an answer: SOME PSUS DONT ALLOW BRIDGE MODE. its a psu design, mostly cheaper psus has huge ripple when no mobo connected. just melted risers if you are lucky, more damage if you are not. wont list known psus here.

My 4pin amolex connected to mainboard is getting very hot( the connector by the 1x pcie) and the total power consum is increase more 200w. I had to turn off cuz it can be burn. It just happened this morning and i did nothing. I tried to change power supply. Change other board but its still happens. My other rig set up same but nothing wrong. Anyone help me
