a 300w (max) gpu is a perfect fit for a 3 gpu rig config..like a 900w for 3x card plus system power consumption......a perfect fit for a 1200w psu (1200w is a sweet spot for power-price-density-power efficiency ratio)
Exactly! Three cards, one motherboard, one psu, no crappy risers. Powerful and fail proof setup.
i use risers, boards that can handle those 3 to 4 gpus are too expensive or rare etc..
3 risers will be a lot easier to troubleshoot than finding the bad riser in a 8 card riser rig..shuffling by trial and error, testing your spares phew! haha
no the 8 slot boards using 4 cards never break and just run with the four cards doing 200 watts each the whole setup pulls
900 watts against the cheap good deal priced corsair 1500 watts atx psu.
My up time has been 99% since sept 2017
with zero psu or gpu or board fails.
i was referring to risers not board hehe...anyway that is a one fine setup and to add to that if a socket got problematic you still have 4 more available.
