Well the evga super nova is in usa amazon maybe the op can not buy from the usa amazon

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G5-1000-X1/dp/B07WMTD41Z/ref=sr_1_1?

the pcie cables are 8pin and 6p which needs an adapter to work for 3070

the seasonic 1000watt is 259

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-GX-1000-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-1000FX/dp/B07WVWJW8N/ref=sr_1_1?

the seasonic 850 watt is 129

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-Semi-Modular-Systems-Warranty-Application/dp/B084TSBB2R/ref=sr_1_1?

semi-moduler

2x the price for 150 watts is a rip off.

I do think you found him a 1200 watt they is good if he can buy it.

@philipima1957 so 6pin to 8pin cable do works? Why are people taking about fire here and there then? I knew 6pin connector is cable of powering a 8pin gpu with plug extension, pls confirm this for me, am I right or wrong?

this cable may work

may not. I give it 95% on a 3070 if you set watts to 150 or less.

I would never use it on a 3090. As they can pull tons of power.

I never melted gpu pcie cables of any psu mining if attached to gpus.
I have melted pcie cables attached to asic miners.

I have melted pico adapters attached to server psu's mining with gpus
I have melted sata to riser cables mining with gpu's
I have melted molex to riser cable mining with gpus's

been mining with gpus for 9 years (hard to believe it is that long)

If I were op I would look for the thermal take. but I very likely would just run 2 mobos rather than 1 six card.

the money is in the 3070's the other stuff is less important.

I would do a 850 watt seasonic focus 2 gpus 1 mobo

I would do a 1200 watt thermal take 4 gpus 1 mobo

rather than muscle a six card mobo.

Logic is cards are safer in 2 rigs from a total disaster.

As we all know getting cards is crazy hard to do.

I guess the cable will work perfectly ok on cards that draw less wattage like gtx1660 Ti or super, I won't dare use it on a big card like RTX 3080/3090, not safe IMO I believe this can really make the fire wish come true 🤣

all cards can sometimes go runaway thermal. That is they can say fuck you to the power settings and pull every fucking watt they can take.

Happens more on windows than on linux

happens with amd and or nvidia.

I run 1 3060ti in my main window rig. It is set to nicehash and uses msiafterburner set to 125 watts.

It has 2 connections a six and an eight. it is an aorus master a high end 3060ti model and at least one a week it drops settings and goes to 195 watts same hash but hard on the gear as it is 70 extra watts.

I would be afraid if a 3080 does this. Set to 220 watts and jumps to 325 watts
