How much PCI-e plugs your cards have?

You are buying 4 cards, do they have only 1 PCIE plug for additional power or 2 plugs?
PSU on your list have 2 cables with 2 pcie connector so you have 4 PCIE plugs available without additional slots on PSU available.

If your cards have only 1 PCIE plug for additional power you should be good.



You are speaking about the power cables which can be connected from the SMPS to the graphic cards buddy. Those cables only have the two diagonal point jacks in the one points and the other end will be on the SMPS with the single point. In PCIe card, you can find the SATA cable line and power cable to SMPS again. This cable have to connect on 1 to 12 watts point which can be find the middle row of SMPS.

I am talking about how much cables he gets in the package he is buying, and regarding to that what he can expect to connect out of the box without any converters from molex to 6pin plugs to power the cards.
I am trying to make it simple as I can because I know that our friend expects simple answer.
Not sure if your answer would be beneficial to him at all at his point of knowledge.

I order 4x msi 1060 3gb so tell me what psu i should buy for them?

I have a setup similar to yours (6 x 1060) and I am in love with this unit I use, I recommended it:

Excellent compromise between price and performance.

The each card have one slot for power, and risers also have power so?
But i didnt found gigabyte psu because its not avaible Sad
There is only this shit: RIOTORO Onyx SM 750W by Coolermaster (probably idk)

Not sure If i personally would go for that brand of PSU.
You have enough options from Corsair, EVGA, Thermaltake, Seasonic and few others that people have been using successfully during the years.
Take a look at some reviews from sites that have been testing PSU-u during the last 5 years for example JonnyGuru, Tomshardware and some other sites. I am sure you would find at least one model that has been well reviewed and is available to you for purchase.

I cant find Corsair psu because they said they dont have a product.
So can you tell is gygabite good?

Sure why not, neither Corsair or Gigabyte doesn't make their PSU all by themselves anyway.
Just take into account warranty, number of PCIe connectors and their length, also calculate that you have enough spare power so you don't torture your psu 24/7 on more than 70% of max power it can give you.
 

Ok here is what i got
MotherBoard: www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81 Pro BTC R2.0/
6 risers of this https://www.ebay.com/itm/6X-Riser-Card-Adapter-PCI-E-1x-To-16x-Extender-USB3-0-Powered-Cable-Bitcoin-6PIN/401376256843?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649_
GPU first 2X (MSI): of this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KUCL25Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (3GB)
GPU second 2X (ASUS): of this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KMVHB6M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (3GB)
CPU: Intel G1820 2.70GHz Box, Core Name Haswell Bridge, Dual Core Celeron, 2 Cores, 2Threads, 2MB Cache, 64bit, DDR3-1333MHz, Thermal Power:
Thats all for now and now i will get this Gygabite:
PSU: 750W Gigabyte G750H Real Power, 80 PlusGold, Modular, Silent, 14cm Fan, Fan Speed Control, Black
Details of PSU:
Modular Design
High quality 100% Japanese capacitors
140mm smart control fan

Model - G750H
Type - Intel Form Factor ATX 12V v2.31

Corsair RM850i is sure to hold your rig of 4x 1060 3GB without any problems. It is one of the best brands in PSU-s and has 4 PCIE 6+2 pins needed for 4 cards that you will connect. Of course is more expensive but well worth the price based on the quality it offers.

In fact this is a bit overkill for you as it has 6 PCIE 6+2 pins but in case you want to add another card in the future, this PSU can hold up 5 cards without any problem.

If you will go with only 4 cards go with Corsair RM750i

Why you can buy this one you mentioned. I hope you can utilize the 750 watts smps alone to have for 3 GB nvidia 1060 cards. You can get the power cables also 4 numbers in the box package itself. PCIe cards will can be able to buy with the separate package alone.
You know some of the cards would not work in the every 10 number of PCIe packs.

That would be a great choice too and I think it is cheaper. The version with "i" in the end it means it is fully modular, I guess the x version is only semi or not modular at all. But for what you need it ,still it is perfect.


This are the differences between Rmi vs RM, and RMX is one step bellow RM

RM Series:                                       RMi Series:
•5 Year Warranty                              •7 Year Warranty
•Only Japanese Primary Cap              •ALL Japanese Capacitors
•Rated for Full Output at 40°C               •Rated for Full Output at 50°C
•Rifle Bearing Fan                              •Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan
•Analog Output for Link                      •Digital Output for Link
•Only Monitors +12V Load and Fan Speed   •Monitor Power In, Out, Efficiency, Voltages, Fan Speed and Temperature
•Single +12V Rail, Non-Configurable   •Multiple +12V Rail by Default.  Switchable to Single +12V Rail using Link software

So do you think, using a PCI-E power cable extender, you could power 2x 1060 3GB using one PCI-E power cable that splits? And then use a 4-pin molex chain to power two risers?

I know each card pulls about 105W for my setup.

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/graphics-card-power-supply-balance,review-33071-6.html

This says about 300W per cable.

I order risers and also i got h81 pro btc 2.0 motherboard

Soon enough you will get more GPUs, and should take that into consideration, i.e. I would suggest to get PSU which will be able handle 6x GPU. I am currently running 7x 1060 3gb with 750W PSU. Because I am using powerlimit of 75W for each of the cards the PSU is able to handle it. But:
1. the set up is not definately recommended due to lack of risk marginals
2. I need to powerlimit the GPUs, even if I could gain more with no powerlimit

morale of the story: Don't go cheap with PSU
