I want to power 2 GPUs form 1 GPU slot.
My question is will that be safe for the PSU. Can i burn the GPU slot of the PSU if i power 2 GPUs and their risers.
I have 10 X Rx580 the miner shows avg. 92-100 W. The total system consumes about 1250W at the wall so it must be about the real consumption of the GPUs that is show with PhoenixMiner.
As i understand from your reply one GPU slot of the PSU can handle up to 300W . This is enough for 2X RX580.
So i just need to make sure that the cable is good and i can power 2 GPUS from one slot of the PSU?
Read my post the correct answer is maybe.

Get a second mobo
and lower the cards to 8 on the first one.
My reasoning is a 1600 watt g2 is costly.
A smaller mobo to reduce load on the beast is smart.
Cheaper mobos using a usb stick and running smos are a better solution than what you are doing.
what does the evga 1600 watt g2 cost? a lot well over 350 usd
a seasonic 850 watt focus is only 150

you end up with a 8 card and a 3 card setup and the 3 card can grow a bit more.
This is the best way to reduce your worries mate. I am mining with 8 cards, the 6 are in one mobo asrock h11 btc pro, and the other two are on a cheap mobo with affordable psu that i bought earlier.
This time around we should be practical, it's good to have someine give you ideas and I personally agrees with this one.
