Hello guys wanted to ask about avarage power usage of vegas 56 ( flashed to 64) im mining Ethernium with most of my card p7 1050 core , 875W , memory 1070 , 875 mW using memory tweakin Hashrate is around 49 mh , im goona rebuild my rigs from ground change risers and im thinking about buying single PSU instead dual PSUs
Wondering how strong would that 1 PSU need to be to handle 6x vegas 56 running on ETH hash
AT LEAST 1200W-1300W--
I have 4 V56 cards on a 1200W PSU. It has 4 PCIe cables with dual 8-pin PCIe connectors. You will need enough 8-pin connectors to do the job, and that depends on the manufacturer.
A 1600W EVGA Platinum has 9 PCIe ports, but each cable supplied has only 1 8-pin connector. Some of the cables have an 8-pin+6-pin dual connector. The wattage would be enough, but you would not have enough connectors for six dual 8-pin V56 cards.
If you mix cables from different manufacturers, you can destroy the PSU and perhaps the motherboard as well.
The point is to get a well-rated PSU with the connectors you need. It will take some shopping. --scryptr
