Thank you all for all the advice.

You are correct @philipma1957. I had a look at the box and there were 2 split cables which makes it in total 6 VGA connections. I honestly thought 6 PCIe means 6 sockets. Anyway, I can only connect max 4 GPUs as per all the recommendations which means I need to use a second PSU.

I'm going to limit the number of GPUs to maximum of 4 for one PSU. I will buy another PSU and connect the remaining GPUs to that one. I can connect the power supply tester (bridge connector) to power on the second PSU.



if you had a corsair rm1000x it has six jacks which can use pcie or cpu wires.  it could do 5 pcie and 1 cpu but you would need to buy a spare pcie cable

It would do 5 x 130 = 650 +40 mobo = 690 watts out of 1000 which is okay

has the 6 jacks so ti could do 5 gpus' you need to get a spare cable


the EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 p has the six jacks for pcie and 2 for cpu they do not interchange but it would work
