most PSU these days have limited molex connector, and have a tons of sata connector
and most sata cable will be burned out to flame on RX GPU, so there are no place for sata in mining rig to be safe
since pcie 6-pin cables are limited, and even more limited molex, it still better to use pcie 6 pin cables since their spec is designed to deliver up to 150w (molex is only 50w, sata is only 35w)
so the solution is just use PCIE 6-pin splitter, one end for riser, and another one for gpu, so each gpu+riser only use one cable from PSU
Hi all,
sorry for the silly wuestion, but of course I lack in knowledge of hardware, since I can't understand this point.
You said that every card+raiser need power supply, and you use PCIE 6-pin splitter for every card, so you have a total of 6 PCIE 6-pin cables. But if the connectors are only 2 in the PSU (in the picture OP posted I presume they are perif1 and 2, as he said), how do you connect them?
I know it is a dumb question, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks
