sorry about the link, this is the correct one https://imgur.com/tIn1Dfr. How many of those splitters would i need , just 1?

now that's the right diagram, however its a bit tricky since you will be using splitters to power up GPU PCIe, but still same,

from the picture at http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/hx-series-hx1200-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu-na

seems you need at least 4 splitters

i have now found a gpu called the Inno3D iChill GeForce GTX 1070 Ti X3 8GB that i will probably use now for its cooling, it uses a 8 pin power, do i still need the splitter?

Nice GPU, I like the cooling capabilities for this card. Nope, your cables should be enough, you don't need splitters on this

Hi, My first rig build is going to be: GPU: 6 x Galax GeForce GTX1070Ti EX Sniper White 8GB GDDR5

CPU:Intel Celeron G3900 Dual Core LGA 1151 2.8GHz Processor

Power Supply: Corsair HX1200M 1200W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply

SSD:Kingston SSDNow A400 120GB 2.5" SATA III SSD SA400S37/120G

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard

RAM: Crucial 4GB (1x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz Memory

6 powered Risers and a open air frame.

Do i need to purchase any additional wires of anything to get my rig running or do i have all i need??
Should this be fine to just plug into a power outlet or do i need to check if it can handle it first? I live in Australia if that helps.

Yes, from the looks of it you're short of cables., your GPU requires 1x6pin and 1x8pin PCI-e cables, basically you need 8pins(6+2)Splitter to accommodate your 6x1070tis, what's in the PSU box are 2x (6+2)pins , 2x(6+2)pins with 6+2 splitter, 2x 8pins. and I am not including your risers here, however you can use the peripherals in 1 is to 1 concept that sata could handle the power ratings.

sorry you have confused me a bit, all i need is a splitter like this one https://www.ebay.com.au/i/332421292719?chn=ps and the mobo power cable like the other guy stated and thats me all covered for wires? Also i found this wire diagram on reddit ( https://www.ebay.com.au/i/332421292719?chn=ps) does this look like the best way to wire it all up?

Sorry to confuse you a bit, much better if you could use 8pin to dual 8pin(6+2) since most of the cables included to your PSU is 8pins.

There were no diagrams in the link, what I wanted to say is to just use the peripherals to power up your risers one cable to one riser.

Go for the HX1200i if it is not too expensive. You can plug an USB cable into this PSU and measure your total power usage, set fan curves etc.... Then you don't need that wall power meter. I got my hand on a second hand one and I LOVE IT.

Just been looking online: The "i" version is only 35 euros more...

for an extra 50 bucks i might aswell , thanks for the suggestion

You may also need a power button for the MB, case fans + fan hub, a thermometer for your mining room, and power extension cable(s) for PSU.

do you mean something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/i/182877006672?chn=ps?

A Corsair PSU from the "i"-series. Then you don't need those meters. Wink

Might need to grab a few more riser boards. A few of mine were DOA so I had to get replacements... it was a pain to single out the bad ones. Sometimes its just the usb cable....

Wall power meter:

Do you keep your power meter plugged in while the rig run 24/7?

I'm wondering if it can handle the current on a 24/7 basis.... planning to get one of those or a smart meter, help me decide...!!

Voltage meter and a PSU tester will help a great deal for trouble shooting
