@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
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-6-Pin-Adapter/dp/B01DV1Z32Y/ref=sr_1_3?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 🤣
