Hello,

I need your help. I bought this 8 GPU motherboard :
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/8GPU-DDR3-SATA-Mining-Motherboard-8xPCI-E-Extender-Riser-Card-For-For-BTC-ETH/153069705789?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&autorefresh=true

I previously used a H81 pro btc, with a gold Enermax Power supply.

So :
I connected all 8pins in the smallest side of the big board

I connected the 6pins in front of the blue PCIe where the motherboard is plugged. I used the 8pins processor connector from the Enermax power supply for that.

I have to notice that the big 24pins ("MAIN" connector) from the power supply that goes usualy to the motherboard, can not be plugged in. So I don't understand how the motherboard could start when I power on the power supply...
