Question here, with the HX1200 6pin peripheral/sata port, can I use PCI-E 6pin Male to Dual Male PCIE 8pin (6+2pin) Graphics Video Card Power Cable like the one on the link below in eBay to power 6 pin riser cards?

My intention is to use one cable per GPU and one cable per riser instead of daisy chain.

Could a single Corsair HX1200i handle 6 GTX 1070 ti video cards (180 watts a piece) along with 1151 socket motherboard, celeron processor and SSD?

It should be enough, but does it have enough cables to power cards +risers ? Make sure you check if its 6/8 pin and how many.

We are running 6x 1080 ti overclocked on 2x Corsair HX1000 without any problems. So yes it will be enough for sure.

1070s shouldn't need 180w I have a few rigs of 6 1070s and my kill a watt meter says there just around 800w. I am using EVGA 1000w power supplys and they have all been running for 7+ months.

Yes, just do the proper clocks, unlike AMD's Nvidias don't need OC to obtain nice hashrate and better efficiencies

this is nice read for mining with 1070 ti's
