Beautiful setup. What are you using to hook up two PSUs?
Isn't 1200W x2 a but overkill? I assume you got this setup for the 6+2 pins you needed. I mean you need 12 x 6+2 plus 6 molex. That a lot.
Also only two risers are powered? What about the rest?

Each card takes arround 300w + board + risers. So 2400w are perfect for this rig. And like you said i needed 6 x 8+6 pcie connectors to power my cards. I only use 2 powered risers on the 6 card setup, my other 4 card boards are running with normal risers for months without any trouble.
Your four cards are pulling 4,500 = 300W from mother board. The motherboard only has 75W for 16x and 25W for 1x. Don't understand how that is working for months.
Also 3x300W per GPU plus say 200W for mb that's 1100W
The other PSU Powering 3x300W GPUs could be 900 or 1000W.
I'm just saying maybe the is a way too avoid 1200W and higher PSUs that add so much to the cost.
Someone claimed he dies two 850W for 5x 290 rig all pwered risers but don't know if that's true. I'm buying parts for similar system so I'm ring to find the cheapest solution.
