Hi guys i have 4 asus rx 470 4g and i have this psu:
EVGA 1000GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Power Supply 210-GQ-1000-V1
Ive been reading this polaris cards draws a lot of power from the pci slot, so i shouldnt use usb risers with sata connectors right?, i read that i should use usb risers that use molex connectors, but my psu only have 1 "perif1" output with 1 string of molex connectors, and i should use 1 string per card right? what do you suggest me? thanks
This is my 1st mining rig and im really worried
Whatever you do, always check wires for excessive heating. if its getting hot, it might burn. now some other poster said that at 2000mhz memory, the pci slots uses 55 watts all the time. So a sata connector should be o.k. for a 470. try one card per wire, but I'm guessing you could put 2 on one molex wire though (not on one connector). do a little watts math and check for heat, and you should be good. You might want to buy better quality sata to molex adaptors too to be safe.
Thanks man will do that, im new to the mining thing i must say haha, so im reading and reading and reading again and again, cause im worried i dont want to melt my rig
im checking the software included on the asus 470 rx cd called asus gpu tweak, is that software any good?
this are my settings right now, im setting up the cards right now, like i said, my 1st rig, any advice_ what i should tune down?
