I think you should update your PSU. PSU is very importance Smiley


Right now I'm sitting on the 2x 750W Gold PSU's do you not think this will be suitable? What would you suggest in their place?

2x750W is great for this build IMO. I have 6 of the same cards on one rig with two Corsair CX750W working for 6 or 7 months now.

The motherboard seems like an overkill to me.

Feel free to suggest a cheaper 7 slot one if you got one in mind, only requirement if it's off amazon is that it needs to be internationally shipped

You can also use 2 700W PSU's and join them together using an Add2PSU connector or something?

Just make sure that the PSU's have a total number of connections that you need, but it can workout cheaper doing it this way.

Ohh I didn't think about that, thanks for the heads up. With the new PSU setup I've got  a slightly revise list now
I'll have to wire up the 2 PSU's myself since you cant ship the Add2PSU to my NZ and I don't think they sell anything similar here

Hey guys, so im looking at buying my first mining rig and just wanted someone to review it.
Two things im uncertain about:
-1000W PSU is going to be enough to power the 7 470s' but if not then I can grab the 1200W one
-What brand memory the cards have, the website says "Manufacturer Part No: 11256-01-20G" but that's not like the P/N's i've seen around explaining what brand it is, like (A1637)

Other things to note ust note:
-Those prices are in NZD sorry
-I've just got the one GPU there but planning on buying 7 in total since that's what the board can handle

No 1000w psu isn't enough for 7 gpus , only the cards without other system components will draw 7*120=840w, and you can't load any psu with more than 80% (we still don't count other system components) even if this psu is a quality one ,i recommend any psu equal or more than 1200w, 1300w to be on the safe side.

Well in that case I'm thinking about the HX 1200i since that's only another 50$ more https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U6GTONM/ref=twister_B06ZY6DMNM?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
Can't find any 1300W ones and don't really want to go up to 1600W either
