 Dont worry its more than enough. Btw you can downvolt your cards if you not sure  Wink

I'm using 850W psu for 6 GTX 1060 without any problem. At my setting Power limit 80%, each card just draws about 95W.

Btw, I gonna build 1 more rig 6 GTX 1070 (each card might consumes about 145W), I'm not sure how much power mobo+riser uses, so is that ok if I use 1 PSU Great Wall 1250W?

Thanks!

If you are going to undervolt 1070 to 145W, then 1250W PSU is enough for your rig. Mobo usually utilize less than 100W, I have measured my mining rig, idle at around ~80W, riser will not draw much power, so don't worry about it.

Thanks for all the help guys, I bought the Asrock H81 PRO BTC instead and switched the PSU from EVGA to Seasonic 860 Platinum since Seasonic got a better reputation. Will probably have some questions while I build my rig since I will be using Linux, will post a different thread if I do. Smiley

EVGA sells good PSUs, and so does Seasonic. Most EVGA PSUs actually have their guts manufactured by Seasonic, so either one is usually a good bet.

Good luck with your rig!
I'm about to RMA my second EVGA 750GQ. They were powering four RX570's (undervolted to 850mV). The first one died after a month, the second two months later. I am not impressed.

For reference, I've got a 750W XFX PSU that was working for 6 months mining full load 24/7 back in 2014. Then recycled it to power a thin client htpc for 3 years. Now it's powering mobo+cpu+SSD+3xRX570 since April and it hasn't faltered a single time.

How much one your gtx 1060 power limit multiply four times plus cpu,hdd etc.

My 6 x GTX1060 Rig uses 640W at the wall measured by power meter on a Corsair 1000X 1000W PSU.

Power limit in AB is 50%

Still getting 23.6MH/s

yes more than enough. i run 4 x 1070's on a 850w corsair which pulls 560w at the wall.
Theoretical tdp is never realistic.

Maybe you have under volt your 1070 or the coin that you mined required less power. I have tested with mine at stock clock, pulls ~165w on single 1070 itself.

You can try power limit at 60-70% so that lower wattage is consumed. then pump the memory high because mining eth needs hugher memory speeds.

It's more than enough, you can lower from platinum to gold series.

Forgot to add.. I originally went wth a celeron. It stinks. I already upgraded it. It's fine for four cards but I couldn't run two miners at the same time without a wildly variable hash rate.

I use Fortron HYDRO G 850W 80PLUS GOLD for 6x GTX1060.
They consumes about 810W. (Ethereum + Sia mining)

Your wattage usage is nearly your PSU able to supply. This is not safe. You should consider reduce power limit of your 1060.

Yes no problem -- I average ~500 watts on my 4x 1060 rigs at the wall after tuning. I use 750-watt PSUs on them no problems.

I have a 6 X GTX 1060 rig which is pulling 480-490W from the wall mining Ethereum.
I have the power limit set on 50 - 55%
The cards are doing 22 - 23 MH/s each.

Yes, my rig: 10 x gtx 1060 =  700w from the wall. I use 1 psu Corsair RM850i

I have a rig with 4x 1060s.  Whole thing pulls about 460-470watts from the wall.  That's with a few hard drives running BURST and many fans.
Thanks for the confirmation Smiley
