Hi guys, i'm building new rig with 8 x EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition and i have 2 Corsair HX1000i psu's.
I'm wondering what is the proper way to connect the psu's. I'm using add2psu to connect the 2 psu's.
First psu will power the motherboard, cpu, ssd, 4 raisers and the 4 cards connected to them.
Second psu will power other 4 raisers and the 4 cards that are connected to them.
Is this right?
Because i read somewhere that the first PSU have to power all the raiser+mobo+cpu and ssd, but this way i will not have enough connectors to do it.
Please, give me some advice!
Yes you right. This is only one way to connect all power of single GPU to the same PSU to avoid GPU injury. I.e. you should connect riser power and additional 6-8pin connectors from the same PSU.
