thanks for replies guys Wink
have you to suggest one not expensive PSU with 4 connectors 8 pin (4x Msi rx470 need 8 pin supply). 700-800w for 4 undervolted 470 i think is good, i see it: EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W, can be ok?
Actually i have Corsair CX750M and it's no good has only 2x 8 pin connectors.
Thanks

I on;y chain 1 per line from the psu as with 2 undervolted 470's the line starts getting warm dual Mining.

Molex ones are fine, just chain 2 of them at most.  Well usually the most you can chain is 2 with the way cables are made anyway.

You have to check each and every riser to make sure they work.

China is sloppy with their soldering on risers.  One I fixed today had to have at least 8 little solder bridges on the back that made it faulty.  Take a knife and clean em up if you need to.

I started running 14 of these of two weeks ago, and they have performed flawlessly:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-New-design-stable-version-PCI-express-1x-to-16x-riser-for-ETH-GPU-mining/281383006276?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649


I placed two orders, and I received both orders within 3 days of placing my order. Also, the seller was willing to give a slight discount on my second, larger order.

I like this particular riser because it has a 6-pin PCIe power connector. Using this riser in conjunction with my preferred PSU (Corsair AX1200i), I can power 7 cards without using a single splitter or questionable connector. Each plug has its own dedicated cable, and all connectors are 8-pin or 6-pin PCIe connectors.

I use the same risers with rx 480 / 470 over 1 year. You can use then without problem.

No, you haven't. RX480 came out June 29th 2016 and RX470 in July 2016.

everyone is gonna cry that don't use molex as far as i am concerned I have never had one melt down as long as you keep max of 2 per PSU cable connection

The only RX480 that would be a problem on Molex is the original reference RX480, and even then that should be fine with since AMD fixed the PCI-e clot power issue with a driver release. Yes, 2 GPUs per Molex chain is acceptable. I'd keep it to 1 GPU per chain with a RX480 reference card.
