Hi there,
I am trying to built the 'base' of my rig and i run into some questions that i cant find an answer.
I am planning to built a total of 6 x 1070s mining rig. I will try to start with 3 and then add more if i find a good price for the cards.
I am trying to select a psu that will hande 3 gpus and i am bit confused about how to select it.
I have come across to a reasonable priced seasonic psu:
https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90703312/seasonic-prime-focus-modular-80-plus-gold.aspDoes that psu hase enough pcie slots to power 3 gpus? My understanding is that this psu has 2x PCIe 8pin and 6x PCIe 6pin so i can connect up to 2 1070s gpus (i think they require 8 pins). Is that correct? Cant i connect a 3rd gpu somehow?
Read the review, it says it has 3 power cable to PCI-E 6+2. so yes, it should power the 3GPU.
Moreover the risers will be connected to the 6 pins so it has enough slots?
Yes, also if it has 6 pin splitters connected to your GPU can power up the riser, so you save an extra cables.
Finally is my base rig ok for future upgrades (6 cards) or compatibilty with future nvidia or amd cards?

Thank you
You need to underclock your 6 1070 later on for 850w, If you plan to have AMD's I guess its safer to have at least 1kw of PSU rating.
