Linking Video Card to PCI-E Riser Cards
The best power supply that you can use is 1200W Corsair HX Series HX1200 with modular ports. The red VGA ports are the PCI-E adapters.
That is why it is necessary to select your risers depending upon your PSU.
All this must be prevented. SATA power materials are created to draw low levels of power required for hard disks, they are not developed to power 3 or 4 PCI-E riser cards. I would not utilize a SATA converter to power even one GPU riser card.
Putting too numerous risers 008s on the very same PSU cable can run the risk of pulling too much power through the cable, triggering them to warm up or even melt.
The Correct Method to Power GPU’S.
The Corsair HX Series HX1200 likewise has 2 4 pin molex daisy chain cable which link straight to the PSU. I link each of these cable approximately 2 riser 008s cards.
SATA power products are created to draw low levels of power required for tough drives, they are not developed to power 3 or 4 PCI-E riser cards. Preferably each PCI-E power cable provided with your PSU would have a split 8 pin and 6 pin adapter. This would permit you to link up one GPU and one riser 008s per cable. You will still most likely require 6 pin extension cable to do this, as it’s not likely the split in between the 8 pin and 6 pin will be long enough to link your riser and GPU together.
The 1200W Corsair HX Series HX1200 has 2 split 6 pin or 8 pin cable and 4 8 pin cable . Start using 2 x 6 pin PCI-E extension cable televisions and linking the risers approximately the exact same power cable as GPU 1 and GPU 2.
Never ever purchase or use extra modular power cable from various brand names of PSU to obtain the needed cabling. You need to just utilize the modular cable that feature your PSU.
I constantly make certain that each GPU is powered by a different power cable linked straight to the PSU. To do this you have to select a PSU that has 6 different PCI-E connection ports.
If you begin browsing the internet, you will quickly stumble upon images of riser cable physically melting, or perhaps igniting. These images are normally of the SATA adapter cable televisions, 3+ risers powered on a single daisy chain molex cable, or bad quality PSU’s.
Preferably each PCI-E power cable provided with your PSU would have a split 8 pin and 6 pin adapter. This would permit you to link up one GPU and one riser per cable. You will still most likely require 6 pin extension cable to do this, as it’s not likely the split in between the 8 pin and 6 pin will be long enough to link your riser and GPU together.
This enables me to link each GPU approximately among the different red ports on the PSU.
The Correct Method to Power PCI-E Riser.
Generally among the very first stumbling blocks you might discover whilst developing your mining rig is the best ways to link all your PCI-E riser cards and GPU’s to your power supply system properly.
