Hi

I want to add a second graphic card to my pc to mine ethereum.
I have already a pc with Gtx 1060 6gb sc that i use for mining and i want to add another gtx 1060 6gb.

So my question is about my psu, i have a Aero cool 650wat, how do i calculate how many graphic card i can use depending on my power.

My second question is about graphic card choice, is it ok to use another range like gtx 1070 ti ?
If so should one miner per graphic card or one to handle them  both ?

I use PhoenixMiner and Gminer (i alternate to test them xD)

Thank you in advance for your time to respond me.

Yes you can, even running 3gpus still doable but not good for long term health of your psu, best advice is using only 50% of psu capacity and thats the peak efficiency for psu

Thank you Fmz, i think i am gonna do it, but what about cooling, is it enough if i left the left panel side of my pc open or should i use extra fan ?

thanx in advance
