I think one psu 850 w is enough to works with two gpu.

hi there, I am setting my first rig with a combinations of gtx 1080 y gtx 1080ti, now I have 2 gpu running atm but have some question.   I have asrock h81 pro btc r2.0  and two (2) evga  850 watt psu.   now I want to add 2 gpu more (4 in total until now)  so I need to link the 2 850 psu and I am thinking join it with the "add2psu litter card' http://www.add2psu.com/   my questions are:

1) it is safe to join (link) that 2 psu using the add2psu card?

2) the evga 850 g2 super nova psu have 4 vga (8pin) cable slot, since gtx 1080ti use 2 cable then 1 psu allow me to connect only 2 gpu?  I hear is not good power gtx 1080 gpus  with "Y" type power connector? so I will need more than 2 psu for the 6 gpu?

3) currently using nicehash  with autoswiching coin mining  is that the most profitable?  or maybe claymore is better in term of wining.? maybe other opcion?  

thanks very much for help.

1 - definitely. I'm not even doing that I'm just jumping the pins and I have 100% absolutely no issues - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixcWCrYpw3Y
2 - every single 1080ti i have is on Y's - no issues. I use 2 850's for 6x1080Ti
3 - nicehash is great for a beginner, use it to start then poke around and look for better stuff, read the claymore, ewbf, nemo etc threads and then you'll get a good idea of what to use. 1080ti is good on a lot of algos

Two 1000W PSU will work and then you will need a Y splitter to have them both tie into the motherboard so everything turns on at the same time.
