Hi everyone,
Today for the second time my rig stop working due to burning of risers sata cable.
I'm still new in mining,
My rig has
Galax Gtx 1060 OC x4
8 GB ram
PSU Corsair hx1200i
Motherboard ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2

I'm using ethos my card are working at 22.5mh/s each, usually they are stable but after few days the sata cable that give power to riser get burned. I'm using only one sata cable with 4 connection at the moment. Should i Just connect only 1/2 GPU to each sata cable?

Thank for your help


you put four gpus on the cable  you melted the cable.

And you ask if you should put less gpus.

The answer is yes put less gpus 1 or 2 max.

Go to the corsair website they have the exact cable you need
