Hi Mate,
Just curious to know which Ubuntu version you are running with rx 580. I was not able to run ubuntu 16 LTS with sapphire Rx 580. Open CL not support. I tried in september 2017. I always wanted to run ubuntu in mining but unsuccessful. Please help.It's important.
Thanks and please reply.

if you havent undervolt
i will suggest you do
dual mining power consumption can be reduced to 900w if properly undervolted

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys 
Then the 1600W is almost at its limit now with ~70W until it gets to 80%.
If the mobo uses about 60W, then I'm looking at about 190W per card including risers. 190 * 6 = 1140
80% on a 1300W is 1040W (1600's are almost impossible to get ahold of).
Could probably move a few risers over to the 1600W and then both would be pretty much at 80-81%.

How much does the motherboard use?
Looks to me as if you need one measurement and a subtraction.I'd say you just have to get a reading from your killawatt with 3 cards out of the 6. Subtract that value from 1210 W to get XXX. Then your total power consumption with 6 more cards, dual mining and your BIOS will be 1210 W + 2*XXX.
But do flash your new cards with your own BIOS before you plug them all.
The motherboard will use about 60 W. I have a 13 RX 580 dual mining rig on the ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ with a triple ATX PSU setup. You need to get a power meter so you can find out exactly how much power is being pulled from the wall. For maximum efficiency and longevity of your PSU, you don't want to run at more than 80% of the rated capacity. I have all three PSU's joined with a triple ATX cable so they come on and off together when the main PSU on the motherboard turns on/off. You also need to make sure you have enough PCI-E connectors for all the VGA power connectors and risers.

Got 6 RX580 on an ASRock H110 with an EVGA 1600W PSU running Linux (Ubuntu).

No under voltage or stuff like that. Just updated the bios.
So, I want to add another 6 RX580 and I'm not sure how to calculate for the second PSU.
How much does the motherboard use?
Can I add 1-2 more cards on the first PSU and then the rest on the second PSU?
