I ordered 12 GTX 1050ti's a couple weeks ago, and 6 of them arrived. They are a bit different than what I have used in the past. They have no 6-pin or 8-pin power, so they get all their power from the PCIE slots themselves.
I have a few concerns how to use them in a mining rig.
First, I have an Onda D1800 bitcoin mining board. That is one of those boards that has 6 full length PCIE slots spaced far apart enough for a card to fit in each slot. I was able to boot with one card. Then I tried to boot it up with 6 GPU's and saw only one fan spinning. I didn't get any video. I'm concerned because these cards can draw up to 75 watts and 6 of them might be too much for the motherboard.
I'm also concerned about moving them to another motherboard, such as the ASUS H81 bitcoin pro, and using risers. SATA only supplies 55 watts of power to risers, and these cards may demand more. I suppose I could undervolt them.
Does anyone have experience in making these cards work?
