Thank you all for watching!! **Correction!** - That meter on the breakout board is not for measuring amps, it shows the voltage, silly me 😅 (Credits to the awesome community)
Mr. Mining Chamber, really appreciated your videos, which are very technical / detail oriented, they saved a lot of time, and solved many potential problems for me. Thank you for being so helpful and informative!
9:44 here in Argentina the standard is 220-10A and that Powersupply uses 220-13A. It is something to keep in mind just in case since the common connections being 10A can cause something to burn. Just one detail!
I'm a relatively small miner right now but this changes my thoughts on getting atx psus for future builds, definitely going to try a server psu on my next idea!
Ordered a psu from parallel miner with your code and just got it running , It works better then expected only need 1 psu for the 6 cards on that rack and its still running in quiet mode, was expecting a loud fan but its not even kicking on!! Definitely recommend server power supply's now 👍👍
dude you're the first person I hear talking about Server PSUs being too loud to have in your bedroom or livingroom. I'm surrounded by gear and I was thinking of stacking all GPUs and HDD into one server and adding a server PSU in my bedroom. I'm glad you talked about it being loud. I'll try to figure out how loud they are before I purchase one. Thanks again. Subbed.
They are small jet engines. You will not be able to sleep. Trick is to keep them under ~70% load so they don't kick on the fast rpm mode. So like the 750s you don't want to go above 500w too far. The 1200s run on 110v only do 900w, so don't go above 630w or so. If you run 240v you can run them up to 840w before they take off.
You are so thorough! And thank you for introducing me to Cursed Mining! This is exactly what I need to feel prepared for my first build w/ Server PSUs!
For those who thinks about getting a server psu, here are a few questions i had when i first got mine :-) -How loud does it gets? They can get loud but it depends on the load and ambient temp. Its a high pitch whining noice when it runs on full blast. If you have just half load in it, you probably will hear it but i was surprised how silent it was then. But as i got more cards and used more power it got louder. It depends on what you can tolerate. Btw, the fan runs on low speed whenever its connected to power, and turned off. This is normal and will help cool it when you turn off your rig. -How hot does it get? They get hot, i was concerned at first but turns out its just how it is. I can easely meassure about 40*c on top of it when running. When you first start up, it will run silent, but as the temp rises, the fan wil ramp up to full blast until the temp goes down, and then it will gradualy reduce the fan speed. I meassured the temp from the exhaust, and when it reached 44-45*c it went on full speed. I designed and 3d printed a shroud for mine where i have a 80mm fan blowing air directly into the back of the psu to help feed it with air, this reduced the fan noice a bit as it helped with cooling. I was thinking of uploading it to Thingiverse, but havent got around doing it yet. I went straight for the server psu, i have never used one before, but it was really easy and CHEAP! Btw, the display on my breakoutbard shows volt, and not amp/watt.. But that would be awsome if it showed watt! And when it starts up and nothing using any power, it shows 12.1, when its running and the gpu's mining, it will go down to 11.9.. Kind of weird and i dont know if its normal.. Edit: Apparantly its normal. I made a video of my PSU, and different sound levels, also how the fan shroud i made helps to lower the sound of the fan. Video: ruclips.net/video/wuPqBd300EE/видео.html Fan shroud on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4790083 If im not allowed to post links here, tell me and i will remove it. :-)
@@MiningChamber Thanks! Just a few thoughts i had when i started, tried to google it but not much info to find on this, guess its not something most people think of.. I always find my self having weird question that never has been asked online. Hehe
@@davidanthony1816 Yeah if you have a small load on it its not bad at all. But as the load increases it gets louder. Think i have around 800w on mine, and its pretty loud, not asic loud, but its winy so to speak.
I love this video. It is very informative. I had one comment about your statement at 17:15 seconds. You said the meter showed amps but all the breakout boards I have seen, the meter shows volts so you can't use the meter to calculate watts.
Thank you for another great video! I started from zero but now have 2 rigs running and all Thanks to your videos! I bought from Parallel Miner a 1200W HP server PSU. It is only able to power two RX 580s (can't power 3). It can't power a single RX 5700 XT. Wall voltage is 120V, most likely 15A (so it should be outputing at least around 900W). I am contacting Parallel Miner support but wanted to know if anyone else here had this problem.
Thank you! Really nice to hear ⛏️⛏️ As for the PSU, you should be able to power 4. 4 GPUs undervolted will be at 140 watts at most each so yes I'd recommend checking up with them!
I was able to figure it out. I had an ATX+server PSU setup that was linked together. Turns out I have to turn on the server PSU first (wait around 5 seconds) before turning on the ATX.
So I'm building a 12 1660 super rig. Each gpu should pull 78W. and only needs 1 8 pin. Per my understanding, it would be safe to connect a single six pin to a server PSU and split it to power both the GPU and the riser. Is this correct or do you think I'm missing something? It's the question that has been bothering me, any advice would be appreciated. THANK YOU
Great demonstration thank you. I have a question. When it comes to connecting power to my gpus (dual 8pin) why would I use a splitter. The break out board cables are 6pin - 6+2 so could I not use 2 of them for the 1 GPU and then 1 more for the riser?
So if i understand correctly the 6 pin connectors from the breakout board can provide only 75 and not 150w (as the normal 8 pin ones on atx psus can)? So i would need to use 2 seperate cables (2x 6pin) ? or do the 6 pins provide as much power as normal 6+2 pin ones (150w each)?
Another type of power supply that you could use are ASIC power supplies. If they have a 6-pin, they always run off of 12 volt and are compatible with GPUs. My rigs all run off of 1 Bitmain 1600W PSU and 1 ATX PSU. I have recently ordered a few Pico PSU's wich will end up replacing my ATX PSU's Another great place to order mining rig parts from is Alibaba. You are for the most part ordering a lot of the same components which makes them really cheap Great video as always and congratulations on 10k!
Here's an idea for a video, do a what to avoid or what to buy when it comes to ethernet switches! I've only got 2 ports on my satellite but I'm going to soon have 3x rigs! And the last thing I want to do is buy another expensive satellite. Love the videos so far, keep it up!
thanks for the info! When HP server PSU is connected to ATX PSU by mini 4 pin molex, I noticed that there is an on/off switch button on the break board. Do you need to toggle it on before you power the main ATX PSU that connects to Mobo?
Thanks for this video! I just ordered several server supplies for my rigs. I wish to run them in tandem with my ATX PS but it's not clear to me what cable I would use between the ATX and the break out board. Can you clarify for me?
So let me try understanding this… is there no need for the big thick power cable to be plugged into the server psu? Only the small 4 pin cable from the atx psu?
Quick question: ATX PSU + Server PSU with Server PSU connected GPU not recognized I can confirm when all GPUs connected to the regular ATX PSU, it's working fine. After adding the Server PSU, switched 1 GPU over. Then GPU is not recognized by the Hive OS. Using the commended setting, I connected the riser card and gpu using 2 6-pin power, also using ATX PSU molex 4 pin connected to the server PSU. Any suggestion that why GPU using server PSU is not been recognized?
@@MiningChamber Yes, I can used power switch turn on/off both ATX and Server PSU at the same, and yes, both riser and gpu are connected to the breakout board. After boot into HiveOS, it can not see the 2nd card. I found your discord group, joined it and posting question there! Thanks!
1st thing: Ohms law. Use 220/240(depending where you are) whenever possible. 2nd thing: In older homes with smaller panels, let's say you're running 1 server supply @220 and an atx from an outlet. You should probably be aware that during summer months when electricity use is high and many, many homes have this, you will get line drop on one leg. Now, your server ps? It's on both and the neutral, it cares not! Your atx that you plugged in and maybe power 1 or 2 cards off of? You can see where things could get funky and if you hang a scope on either leg to neutral/gnd or to the chassis of the rig for that matter, you will likely see some wild transient spikes when the AC kicks on with the microwave or something. I think if you CAN, then run the ATX on 220 as well. That way the whole system is balanced, spikes are absorbed much easier and your reference is going to be the same to gnd/neutral, this can save cards and especially motherboards. Plus, all that said, it is ALWAYS better to run higher voltage at lower current than vice versa. I mean, look outside...........Imagine if those lines carried 500v instead of 15k to 500k+? They'd be thick as a tree trunk to bleed of the heat generated! Great video, thanks!!
What’s the difference between the breakout board that have a molex in the middle and those that don’t? Kinda confused whether it is required to use it or if I can leave it empty
Great video - One small question though. Cursed mentioned he powers risers with ATX 6pin>molex cables and uses them on a server PSU. My question is can I use an ATX 6pin>Sata in the same way? My front fans have to hook up to a hub and that hub will only accept sata for power? I tried using my Thermaltake Smart RGB 6pin>sata strand on the server PSU and it didn't do anything, im wondering if this is at all possible to achieve or is it only atx molex cables that work with server breakout boards?
Hi, I was sold one of these HPE supplies under the pretense that it worked with a normal PC. Is there a way that I can adapt it to a normal consumer motherboard?
Thanks for the video, I have a problem I have a btc-t37 connected with an atx-850 coolermaster with 24pin connector working without problems, I bought a psu dps-1200sb and connected it with a molex cable to the 4 pin break-board, the problem is that when the motherboard starts the psu (1200) starts with a delay of half a second with this my video cards are not recognized, how can I change the connections so that this doesn't happen?
What type of power cable do I need to connect to a hp proliant 1500w that needs 200-240v of power? I can’t seem to find any good information about this on the internet :(
I was wondering how do I add more gpus to my rig if my atx power supply only has enough slots to power 3 gpus. By connecting a server psu to the atx. Thanks to your video. It's informative 👍
great video. Do you have a link to a pico unit you recommend? I haven't really seen any examples of folks powering their motherboard from a server PSU and no direct links to the PICO board setup they used. Thanks!
Can I use low power 200w for motherboard and 1000w server with shorted pin for auto start if I connect them on 240v splitter cable... that way the moment it's in the wall both will start? Since MB has auto start after power loss function... and HP server has simple breakout where start pins are shorted with plug. ?
well you did talk about everything, but what about plugging it in the wall what do i need for that? i like in the UAE so our wall plugs are like the UK.
Hi I have an EVGA 3080 GPU with 3x 8 pin ports. I was told to run individual cables meaning 3 completely separate 8 pin to 8 pin cables from the PSU to the GPU.. So using the splitter cable which is a single cable 8 pin to 2x 8pin is not recommended I was told by microcenter. My questions is will a server PSU with breakout board 6 pin to 8 pin cable work to power up my GPUs?
Hey, the info from microcenter is based off if your going to be gaming on it. But you will be mining and using less power if you properly overclocked it. So 2 cables from your psu is completely fine, with or without splitter is fine too. Server PSUs are also fine!
I have cooler master v1000 , pcie cables are from 6 pin to 6+2 pin .. the PSU side connection is of 6 pin rather than 8 pin .. so how much load can 1 cable handle ?
If you have an ATX PSU and Server PSU linked via cable, can you plug all components on the ATX PSU and none on the server PSU? or is it a case of even distribution with hardware plugins?
New to mining. So does the 4 pin connector from the ATX psu to the server psu power the server psu? Or does the server psu need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well? Appreciate the video!
in strategy number 3 are u sure it safe to do with a 4pin to molex cable then attaching the EVGA Molex Perif Cable, ive heard stories of it frying the HP server
@@MiningChamber I forgot to ask you, if u used the 4pin to molex connector to sync PSU n server, does it matter if the ATX PSU is using all the vga ports, my psu has 4 vga ports and each is powering a gpu, so is the 4pin to molex is still safe in this case?
Hello Mining chamber. To build a mining rig a ASUS B250 Mining Expert that has 3x 24 pin, I wonder if I can use only 1 server PSU with 3 ATX PSUs that i already have. The ATX PSUs that I have are Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum. But I want to build a 19 GPUs rig with 9un RTX 3060TI and 10un RX 6800. To power them up, as you said that we should only use 80% of the PSU power, the 3 ATX PSU wont have enough power. So, can I use only one server psu to power up some of those GPUs? How should I do it? I mean, for example, I could power only 4 gpus per ATX psus and then, with the last one, plug in the 4 pin molex cable to the server psu and then plug in the other 7 gpus to the server psu? Or is there a better way to power them all up?
Great video! Clarification please - I am using a break out board and ordered multiple 6 and 8 pin cables from site you mention in video. But I am 4 cable short - Can I use 6 or 8 pin cable that came with my original (thermaltake) psu in the remaining slots in the breakout board for either power to riser or power to Gpu? I believe you said it’s ok to use but not ok to interchange cables with different PSU’s....
Greate video. But I have a question. I have 2 RTX 3090 running at 315 watts each. Can I use the HP DPS-1200SB to power them? They take three 8 pin cables + 6 pin riser each GPU.
I have a question, so i have 2 power suply and i run with my main power suply 3 gpus and with my second one 1 gpu. Why my computer cant find the gpu on my second power suply?
I have two server psus, two breakout boards and one pico adapter. Psu one is connected to 3 GPU’s, their risers and the Pico to motherboard. Psu 2 is connected to only two gpus and their risers. Im getting no lights on my last two GPUs on Psu 2 when turning the system on even though the fans are spinning… both PSUs are plugged into the wall. Am i doing something wrong??
Hi been looking into getting a server pay for my rig. But keep seeing the terms Common Slot and Flex Slot. What's the difference would the same breakout board work for both of would I need a certain one. Tried googling but no help.
So the 6-pin board can deliver 216W / cable, that's only 173W with the 80% rule. Now if you run a 250W card which draws typically 50W through the PCIe and 200W through the 2x8pins, means it is better to have 2 cables for the card instead of an Y-splitter, right?
Great video man, im havin some issues to make a server psu work. can I use 2x 6 pin to power a GPU or I must have a splitter so I can use only 1x 6pin?
Hi, newbie here in mining... Just a simple question. Do miners use an AVR on their rigs even the simplest like 2-4 GPUs? and why? Also if yes, is it ok to plug that server PSU on the same AVR where the ATX PSU is plugged as well as the Monitor? Thanks in advance. :)
@@MiningChamber ohh i see no worries mate, if you haven't encountered or experience any problems without using AVR then thats a peace of mind for me :)
Thanks for the video!! But im curious why there is no 8pin’s on board instead of 6 pin? I think it would be more efficient maybe... and one more question, can i use one riser for rise the another riser something like that. Does it harm?
@@MiningChamber im sorry i wrote riser instead of splitter. What im trying to say is how about using a splitter to splitter, instead of powering 1 riser, we can connect a splitter into that 6pin which is going to riser and we can power 2 riser. Is it safe to do? Or is it logical?
@@FunFunello ah yes definitely doable but if your already powering a high consumption gpu that is 150 watts and up and then your going to power 2 risers and 1 gpu with one strand that might be too much! Not recommended in a way
@@MiningChamber okay thank you so much.. so just need to plug in the molex to the server psu and when I switch the atx the server psu will turn on at the same time right? thanks again
Hey, can you help me? I've got a rig running 7 rtx 2080s and an rtx 2080TI, and when the power flashes, it will turn off then automatically turn back on because of the motherboard's bios being set to "last state" when power received, but whenever this happens, the server PSUs are not in sync. I'm using molex -> 4 pin adapters from the ATX power supply to sync up all 3 server PSUs that I have for this rig, and if I turn off the computer completely, then power it on using the power button connected to the motherboard, everything syncs fine. It's just when the motherboard turns it's self on when it receives power that they aren't synced. The motherboard I'm using is: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus I have two 750w server PSUs and a 1200w (running at 900w bc 120v) server PSU.

So let me try understanding this… is there no need for the big thick power cable to be plugged into the server psu? Only the small 4 pin cable from the atx psu?
What plug do you use to connect the server psu to the wall?
Normal power supply plug, also used in older monitors that don't use power bricks.
Quick question:
ATX PSU + Server PSU with Server PSU connected GPU not recognized
I can confirm when all GPUs connected to the regular ATX PSU, it's working fine.
After adding the Server PSU, switched 1 GPU over. Then GPU is not recognized by the Hive OS.
Using the commended setting, I connected the riser card and gpu using 2 6-pin power, also using ATX PSU molex 4 pin connected to the server PSU.
Any suggestion that why GPU using server PSU is not been recognized?
Hmm weird, did you make sure server psu is turning on through the 4 pins on it? Are you powering the gpu and the riser from the same psu?
@@MiningChamber Yes, I can used power switch turn on/off both ATX and Server PSU at the same, and yes, both riser and gpu are connected to the breakout board. After boot into HiveOS, it can not see the 2nd card. I found your discord group, joined it and posting question there! Thanks!
1st thing: Ohms law. Use 220/240(depending where you are) whenever possible. 2nd thing: In older homes with smaller panels, let's say you're running 1 server supply @220 and an atx from an outlet. You should probably be aware that during summer months when electricity use is high and many, many homes have this, you will get line drop on one leg. Now, your server ps? It's on both and the neutral, it cares not!
Your atx that you plugged in and maybe power 1 or 2 cards off of? You can see where things could get funky and if you hang a scope on either leg to neutral/gnd or to the chassis of the rig for that matter, you will likely see some wild transient spikes when the AC kicks on with the microwave or something.
I think if you CAN, then run the ATX on 220 as well. That way the whole system is balanced, spikes are absorbed much easier and your reference is going to be the same to gnd/neutral, this can save cards and especially motherboards.
Plus, all that said, it is ALWAYS better to run higher voltage at lower current than vice versa. I mean, look outside...........Imagine if those lines carried 500v instead of 15k to 500k+? They'd be thick as a tree trunk to bleed of the heat generated! Great video, thanks!!
does anyone know what that molex to 4 pin connector at 18:18 is called?
What’s the difference between the breakout board that have a molex in the middle and those that don’t? Kinda confused whether it is required to use it or if I can leave it empty
Great video - One small question though. Cursed mentioned he powers risers with ATX 6pin>molex cables and uses them on a server PSU.
My question is can I use an ATX 6pin>Sata in the same way? My front fans have to hook up to a hub and that hub will only accept sata for power? I tried using my Thermaltake Smart RGB 6pin>sata strand on the server PSU and it didn't do anything, im wondering if this is at all possible to achieve or is it only atx molex cables that work with server breakout boards?
I am so happy I found you.
Hi, I was sold one of these HPE supplies under the pretense that it worked with a normal PC. Is there a way that I can adapt it to a normal consumer motherboard?
Hi great video if i want a PSU Server but which break out board do i need for powering motherboard and so on ???
Best video ever! Thanks. Just what i needed.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, I have a problem I have a btc-t37 connected with an atx-850 coolermaster with 24pin connector working without problems, I bought a psu dps-1200sb and connected it with a molex cable to the 4 pin break-board, the problem is that when the motherboard starts the psu (1200) starts with a delay of half a second with this my video cards are not recognized, how can I change the connections so that this doesn't happen?
can i use only 1 server psu 1200 whit the 24 pin and cpu adapter for a 6 gpu rig
Depends on what GPUs they are but don't forget about the 120/240v
What type of power cable do I need to connect to a hp proliant 1500w that needs 200-240v of power? I can’t seem to find any good information about this on the internet :(
I was wondering how do I add more gpus to my rig if my atx power supply only has enough slots to power 3 gpus. By connecting a server psu to the atx. Thanks to your video. It's informative 👍
And if you need a quiet supply AND 6 gpus? I only have 2 supply ports in the room im in😅
Awesome info. Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you, Mining Chamber. Peace!!
Pleasure!
great video. Do you have a link to a pico unit you recommend? I haven't really seen any examples of folks powering their motherboard from a server PSU and no direct links to the PICO board setup they used. Thanks!
Can I use low power 200w for motherboard and 1000w server with shorted pin for auto start if I connect them on 240v splitter cable... that way the moment it's in the wall both will start? Since MB has auto start after power loss function... and HP server has simple breakout where start pins are shorted with plug. ?
well you did talk about everything, but what about plugging it in the wall what do i need for that? i like in the UAE so our wall plugs are like the UK.
What’s the cable called that goes from the ATX power supply to the breakout board?
thanks for this video i was looking for a atx psu but i think i try one of these jet egine ones realy helpfull and detailed video
Thank you! They are def worth it for sure
Hi I have an EVGA 3080 GPU with 3x 8 pin ports. I was told to run individual cables meaning 3 completely separate 8 pin to 8 pin cables from the PSU to the GPU.. So using the splitter cable which is a single cable 8 pin to 2x 8pin is not recommended I was told by microcenter. My questions is will a server PSU with breakout board 6 pin to 8 pin cable work to power up my GPUs?
Hey, the info from microcenter is based off if your going to be gaming on it. But you will be mining and using less power if you properly overclocked it. So 2 cables from your psu is completely fine, with or without splitter is fine too. Server PSUs are also fine!
Thank you For the amazing videos, So cool clean and clear videos!
Pleasure!!
I have cooler master v1000 , pcie cables are from 6 pin to 6+2 pin .. the PSU side connection is of 6 pin rather than 8 pin .. so how much load can 1 cable handle ?
for 3060ti should i use 1 cable with spliter? or use 2 cable better?
I have a msi gtx1070 with 1 six pin & 1 eight pin,is it save to use single six pin to dual 8 pin from the hp server psu?
If you have an ATX PSU and Server PSU linked via cable, can you plug all components on the ATX PSU and none on the server PSU? or is it a case of even distribution with hardware plugins?
Is there any way to power the h110 btc+ pro motherboard with just a server psu that requires the 2 molex connection on the mother board?
Hmm yes I believe if you get a molex splitter you can! Splits your one molex to two molex
New to mining. So does the 4 pin connector from the ATX psu to the server psu power the server psu? Or does the server psu need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well? Appreciate the video!
okay question
Can I power 3090s with the 6 to 8 pin wire splitter if I only run one (of 8 pin) leg per wire?
in strategy number 3 are u sure it safe to do with a 4pin to molex cable then attaching the EVGA Molex Perif Cable, ive heard stories of it frying the HP server
I believe I did reply to this comment, if I did not sorry! but yes they are meant to be done that way, I have not yet heard of any issues like that
@@MiningChamber ok thanks because my board is the exact as yours in the video so I was wondering
@@MiningChamber I forgot to ask you, if u used the 4pin to molex connector to sync PSU n server, does it matter if the ATX PSU is using all the vga ports, my psu has 4 vga ports and each is powering a gpu, so is the 4pin to molex is still safe in this case?
I saw a Barel jack but where is the 6 pins for the server PSU?
Hello Mining chamber. To build a mining rig a ASUS B250 Mining Expert that has 3x 24 pin, I wonder if I can use only 1 server PSU with 3 ATX PSUs that i already have.
The ATX PSUs that I have are Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum. But I want to build a 19 GPUs rig with 9un RTX 3060TI and 10un RX 6800. To power them up, as you said that we should only use 80% of the PSU power, the 3 ATX PSU wont have enough power. So, can I use only one server psu to power up some of those GPUs? How should I do it?
I mean, for example, I could power only 4 gpus per ATX psus and then, with the last one, plug in the 4 pin molex cable to the server psu and then plug in the other 7 gpus to the server psu? Or is there a better way to power them all up?
Great video! Clarification please - I am using a break out board and ordered multiple 6 and 8 pin cables from site you mention in video. But I am 4 cable short - Can I use 6 or 8 pin cable that came with my original (thermaltake) psu in the remaining slots in the breakout board for either power to riser or power to Gpu? I believe you said it’s ok to use but not ok to interchange cables with different PSU’s....
Are the psu's on parallelminer brand new or used ones ? Coudnt find any info online.
Greate video. But I have a question. I have 2 RTX 3090 running at 315 watts each. Can I use the HP DPS-1200SB to power them? They take three 8 pin cables + 6 pin riser each GPU.
I have a question, so i have 2 power suply and i run with my main power suply 3 gpus and with my second one 1 gpu. Why my computer cant find the gpu on my second power suply?
please continue to amaze us with your amazing content!!!
Thank you very much 💙⛏️
That breakout board you showed us doesn't seem to have any slot for powering the mobo no?
I have two server psus, two breakout boards and one pico adapter. Psu one is connected to 3 GPU’s, their risers and the Pico to motherboard. Psu 2 is connected to only two gpus and their risers. Im getting no lights on my last two GPUs on Psu 2 when turning the system on even though the fans are spinning… both PSUs are plugged into the wall. Am i doing something wrong??
Much appreciated dude. Very useful
Hi been looking into getting a server pay for my rig. But keep seeing the terms Common Slot and Flex Slot. What's the difference would the same breakout board work for both of would I need a certain one. Tried googling but no help.
Mm I never heard of that actually sorry, you can ask ParallelMiner through email I'm sure they will help!
Hi, is it ok to power gpu's and risers this way, because output of server power supplies is somewhere around 12.4-12.6V, which is more than 12V?
Yes it should be completely fine! I seen many people do it and it wont be an issue
So the 6-pin board can deliver 216W / cable, that's only 173W with the 80% rule. Now if you run a 250W card which draws typically 50W through the PCIe and 200W through the 2x8pins, means it is better to have 2 cables for the card instead of an Y-splitter, right?
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! THANKS!
Great video man, im havin some issues to make a server psu work. can I use 2x 6 pin to power a GPU or I must have a splitter so I can use only 1x 6pin?
Is the single Strand of cable from the breakout board capable of powering a 5700xt card
Yes!
Hi, newbie here in mining... Just a simple question. Do miners use an AVR on their rigs even the simplest like 2-4 GPUs? and why? Also if yes, is it ok to plug that server PSU on the same AVR where the ATX PSU is plugged as well as the Monitor? Thanks in advance. :)
Hey! I actually have no knowledge on that topic. I never used an AVR for the rigs so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to assist much
@@MiningChamber ohh i see no worries mate, if you haven't encountered or experience any problems without using AVR then thats a peace of mind for me :)
If my ATX PSU has a floppy 4PIN connector, can I plug it to breakout board to turn on server PSU without 4pin to Molex cable?
the 4 pin and the molex should both work so I believe it should be fine but I personally did not try without the molex before
Thanks for the video!! But im curious why there is no 8pin’s on board instead of 6 pin? I think it would be more efficient maybe... and one more question, can i use one riser for rise the another riser something like that. Does it harm?
I am actually not sure myself! And as for the riser I did not understand your question sorry
@@MiningChamber im sorry i wrote riser instead of splitter. What im trying to say is how about using a splitter to splitter, instead of powering 1 riser, we can connect a splitter into that 6pin which is going to riser and we can power 2 riser. Is it safe to do? Or is it logical?
@@FunFunello ah yes definitely doable but if your already powering a high consumption gpu that is 150 watts and up and then your going to power 2 risers and 1 gpu with one strand that might be too much! Not recommended in a way
@@MiningChamber totally understood, for 5700xt’s i think its okay since its drawing about 90w... im not sure. Thanks for help
@@FunFunello Off the wall its taking at least 130 watts. but if that is your only solution then yes go for it!
What do call again the 6 pin cord that goes with the 4 pin of the server psu to power them on at the sane time. Thank you
I think your referring to the molex? or just a regular 4 pin usualyl its with Molex cable
@@MiningChamber okay thank you so much.. so just need to plug in the molex to the server psu and when I switch the atx the server psu will turn on at the same time right? thanks again
Awesome psu video. Learned something today! 👍🏻
I can sleep happy now, as long as Chancoin found value in it 😛💙
Hello do you have a link to buy the 8pin to dual 8 pin splitter?
Yes you can find it in NerdGearz ! link in the description for NerdGearz
Hey, can you help me? I've got a rig running 7 rtx 2080s and an rtx 2080TI, and when the power flashes, it will turn off then automatically turn back on because of the motherboard's bios being set to "last state" when power received, but whenever this happens, the server PSUs are not in sync.
I'm using molex -> 4 pin adapters from the ATX power supply to sync up all 3 server PSUs that I have for this rig, and if I turn off the computer completely, then power it on using the power button connected to the motherboard, everything syncs fine. It's just when the motherboard turns it's self on when it receives power that they aren't synced.
The motherboard I'm using is: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus
I have two 750w server PSUs and a 1200w (running at 900w bc 120v) server PSU.
