1060's have a low TDP. With a power limit set <80%, generally <100W including the risers. You should be fine running two cards per VGA port on the PSU cables that have a dual 8-pin. On the 3rd PSU VGA port you can run the 5th card with the riser using a dual splitter cable and on the 4th PSU VGA port, you can run two risers with a dual splitter cable. For the last two risers run one riser per molex/sata cable on the PSU.

That sounds good but I only have 1 perif molex cable per psu and I'm using 1 cable with 2 plugs for pcie power on the motherboard and the other perif to molex is being used on the add2psu.

Is there any way round this?

Cheers

Hey there you are in the wrong section.

This section is strictly for Bitcoin mining; you need to post in the alt coin section. It is found further down the home screen.

Wish I could help with your problem but your rig is twice the size of mine lol. Good luck

Hi everyone. I'm building my first rig and have some worries about the PSU's I am using.

I have 10 X inno3d 10603gb with Samsung ram.
H110 pro board
G440 processor
Ballistic sport 4gb ram
2x EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W
10x Riser Card Adapter PCI-E 1x To 16x Extender USB3.0

The evga PSU's have 4 VGA ports.
I understand that an 8 pin VGA cable can carry 150w and that if I am running a 1060 at say 70w the riser can take up to 70w too.
So by my calculations I should only be able to run 4 cards per psu. 70w for the 1060 and 70w for the riser.
I have looked into server psu's but have heard they are quite noisy which I would like to avoid. So do I just save for another psu to run my extra 2 cards or is there anything else I can do?
I want to make my rig as safe as possible.

Kind regards
Steven
