So if you're powering a GTX 1080 Ti that uses 250 watts and power is supplied by 2x 8 pin PCIe power connectors, you'd feed the power to the board on the short side. That single lead would give the board the bus power it needs and then the power for the cards would route through the board out the long side connector to a double headed PCIe power lead to the top of the GPU?
I can see how cabling and wire management would be neat and clean. BUT, seems like you'd be pushing a ton of watts through the board as a result.
yeah that makes me nervous too. potentially ~2000 watts if your cards come up at full power due to whatever. are there any published specs on what the upper power limit per card is for this board?
I talked about this on another board like this the
k17 you can not run more then 3 1080ti's using the board pass through
so you do the other 5 1080ti direct from the psu to 5 of the 1080ti. and feed 6 cables from the board into 3 1080ti.s
then 3 x 200 please don't set 250 for tdp and some juice in the five slots to the 5 1080ti's means under 1000 watts pass through the board
