I'm just getting started with my first rig. After watching this video I really get how to power my rig safely. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks Seb.
@@SebsFinTechChannel Please help me out. I want to use two 3060ti FOUNDER EDITION card with one 8(6+2) PCIE cable using PCIE splitters. Means my one PCIE cable have dual 8(6+2) Pin, I want to connect one PCIE splitter into one 8(6+2) Pin and one PCIE splitter into one 8(6+2) Pin. Now I want to connect two 3060ti FE card and two riser simultaneously with one PCIE cable using two splitters. Please suggest me is it safe means I can connect this ? I am waiting for your reply thanks in advance. Love 💘 from INDIA
I've been studying maximum power capacity of all of the components involved in wiring up my GPU's and nobody ever explained that the female connector "asks" for the power and the male connector supplies it (through the cable). Now that I've watched your video, the way you've explained it makes it CRYSTAL clear! Thank you Seb for all of your hard work and detailed explanations!
It would good to explain how you got 300 W rating for the cable in the beginning. With research I think I was able to deduce that you have a 16AWG cable which means each cord is rated for 13 amps (10 amps for 80% rule). Using red fox crypto's info about how much voltage is drawn through the PSU for each pin (which is 2 pins and 12 V from PSU) we get 13x2x12 = 312 W (240 W for 80% rule). Just incase anyone was wondering how he knew the VGA cable can draw up to 300 W (240 W for 80% rule). Thanks for the video!
I rarely ever comment on a video but this my friend is by far the best explanation on power to the rig I have seen. Everywhere else the explanations are confusing and hard to follow. That said, here's a like and a sub!
Just started very basic mining and trying to understand this whole world. This video is one of the best I've seen on how power is drawn and used by the components. Thank you Seb.
I been binge watching your whole content as i am getting into mining and building my first rig soon, thanks for the amazing tips and ways of explaining things. I have learnt a lot!
Thanks Sebs, I just had a delivery of 4 x 1660 supers plus 8PIN to 8PIN M2M and 8PIN F TO 2X 8PIN M and you provided the exact information I needed to ensure safe wiring. Looking forward to running 6 x 1660 supers + 1x Rx480 8GB later today and the increased hashrate with low tdp (averaging 31.9 @67w). Installed on a BTC37 S37. Thinking of making a video my self and crediting you for safety tips. Hope that's OK?
So, let's say I have used a power supply to power my motherboard and ssd and so on. Am I able to use the same power supply to go on and power some of my GPUs? Noting to stay under the 80% rule? Eg: 1 PSU powering my MB+peripherals And then powering x2 or more GPUs and risers (staying under 80% total load. Then using a second power supply to power more GPUs and risers.
This video helped soooooo much more than everyone else's, thanks for the step by step examples that was extremely helpful, got my 185hashes on the network safely now!
Just want to say, that all your videos have been super helpful. I even built the rig you designed. thank you again for all the helpful videos and even your video on start to finish was super helpful!
Thanks for this video! Everything inside, for what I was interested before I start with my very first rig. You have the answers for all I wanted to know. :)
I have a 3060, 1660 Super, and a 2070 Super Undervolted running on a 750W PSU pulling about 390-395 Watts at the wall. I may just get a 1000 W PSU to be on the safe side. 1660 Super is on a riser. Everything has been running fine for the past 24 hours. Thoughts?
Let’s see. So let’s say your rig freaks out and all your undervolts reset and your GPUs go back to pulling 100% TDP, that’s 170W for your 3060, 120W for your 1660 Super and 215W for your 2070 Super. Add another 150W or so for the rest of your system and that comes to 655W which is more than 80% of 750W. So yeah I’d definitely say getting a more powerful power supply is a good idea from a safety standpoint :) Good luck!
Hi Sebs. Me and my son love your videos. Can I ask how many watts PSU you would use/need for 6 RTX 3080 LHR....we also want to use them for dual mining....dont know if that makes a difference. Thanks kindly for your answer/help. M
I was about to do a mistake thank you for the advise, I am worry about powering the rig from the same circuit ...can you give more details about you main power manager
Seb you did not explain for cards with 2 a pins and a riser with a 6 pin how many leads you use ? Can 1 l6 pin lead from a server PSU run a riser 6 pin + two 8 pins on a GPU for those 3 connections in total?
Hi. I'm not overly familiar with server PSUs but all the same principles apply to GPUs no matter how many pcie ports it has. If a cards TDP is 320W, it can ask for up to 320W divided among the PCIe connectors on the card and the riser. Look up the TDP of your card and then make sure each individual cable can handle the max power the cards can ask for on that cable.
Hello Sebs, Let say we have 6 EVGA 3060 TI and ask for (200-240) Watt each. Is 1300 Watt PSU enough for all voltage spending from 6GPU, Mainboard, SATA drive, CPU for safety reasons?
Intend to use a 1000W PSU for 4x RTX 3060. The PSU got 6x PCIe (6+2) out. So i take one pcie strand for each 3060. And then use two splitters on the last two pcie strands to power the risers.
Awesome video. Quick question - the tdp of rtx 3080 is 320w and 3080 has two female 8 pin pcie connectors which can take 150w*2=300w less than the tdp. This means a no-go based on your video. What's the strategy to power 3080 and a riser? Thanks ahead.
Hi mate, can I get your suggestion on how I can power 10 1660 super GPUs using an ATX PSU? I'd like to use ATX because server PSUs produces loud noise. Can you suggest which PSU should I use that will be enough for 10 cards?
Seb you’re a great teacher. let me ask you something: is it worth to start mining eth today? with 4 RX 6600 and electricity cost of 0.16. Also considering that you can buy eth cheap today or even 10K RVN with less than $500 usd. I know it’s up to me and I’d like to experience mining but also want it to be profitable
Hi. Thanks, lets call, tutorial, because was searching some information about powering up rig. Now I have Corsair 1200W platinum. Its working on 2x3070 and one 1060. But now I have 2x3070, 1060, 3060Ti and 3070Ti...so having trouble to decide how to power it up all card, should I buy one more PSU. 1200W it will be not capable to power them all? Thanks
Really amazing video for a beginner like me, i've searched everywhere including reddit for all the questions i had in my mind, and you've easily answered all of them in this video. Thank you so much. Liked and Subscribed.
A quality cable from a brand name PSU would do much more than 300w. But the limiting factor is the 8 pin. Hence molex is safe for 2 riser if its a 6 pin in psu side or 3 risers on 8 pin at psu (288w limit) also you can use close
Hey! Thank You for explanation. However, one thing is still not clear. Original cable You have is already split, and could be used for GPU and riser, but it is too short. Is it possible to use that one cable to power 2 gpu's, and another original cable to power 2 risers? Thank You.
Very interesting video and answered some questions I had with no answers until now 👍. 1) How to power the extra connectors of the MOBO? With the same cable for all connectors or each connector with its dedicated cable from the PSU? 2) Imagine a GPU with 2 connectors running @ 120W (RTX 3070). Does it mean we can plug in it a 8Pin+risers instead of connecting 2*8Pin + risers? Does it will work?
Hi Sebs, is there any difference between 6pin to 8pin dual and 8pin to 8pin dual? If we use the 6pin to 8pin dual, the amount of power can supply is still the same (300W) or lower? Which one should we use for powering GPUs and Risers. Thanks!
Are the 8 pin conectors in the power suply the same as in the gpu? if they are, it's not dangerous to use them for 300w? 8 pins conectors are only rated for 150w.
very good video, can u also make a video on how to calculate max power we can draw out of a wall plug ? i simply add an extension to a wall plug and draw all power from it , apparently this is the wrong thing to do as wall plugs also have a limit , this can also be a fire hazard
Hi Seb. Great video.. Thank you!. I was looking for your affiliate link for 24 pin splitter, 8 pin splitter, and the PSU Adapter. Do you have any? oh and your link to the risers is not working anymore.
Hi Sebs, really congratulations for your videos and for the simplicity with which you explain complex topics. I want to ask to you: can I use 2 splitter (as you show in the video) to power, 2 AMD video cards + 2 riser (through 6-pin female) with one only cable, or I should consider that 1 video card asks for 150+ 75 watts and for this reason I would go over power with 2 video cards?! Thanks a lot
Thanks for the video, but then it’s safe to connect 1 riser + 1 gpu using one 8 pin connector and then another 1 riser + 1 gpu using the remaining 8 pin connector (dual 8 pin) ? So basically I would need just 2 dual 8 pin connector and 4 spittlers to power 4 1660 super and 4 risers? Thanks in advance
hi sebs nice video like always. i have this issue (GPU power 742W < 1000W, rebooting) with my 2 rigs. I don't know if it's because i have 2 power supply one each rig (1 atx and 1 server ). It's been working fine for weeks without this issue and now for no reason this issue came. i tried many this but nothing.
So let me just get this straight. If you split it you have to make sure it doesn't go over 300 watt .so basically you can have 1 8 pin power 4 riser because that equal 300watt but just to be safe you should only power 3 riser because of 80% rule. Meaning if you don't power any gpu 1 8 pin can power 3 riser safety. Is that correct
hey good vid, but will i be ok powering 2 gpus from a 550w power supply, 2 gpus shouldnt pull more than 400w no? so will i be fine to power rig with windows 10 and the 2 gpus?
Depends on what GPUs they are. For example a 1660 uses 120W but a 3080 uses 320W. Also depends on if you have other things connected to that PSU like your motherboard.
@@SebsFinTechChannel 1 1660 + 1 2060 ive heard you allow 100 watts for motherboard , but if i can run 2 gpus of 1 pc1 which is max 300w + 100 w for mobo still got 150w to play with, is that correct
@@SebsFinTechChannel wow so 1660 125w + 2060 175w = 300w max for pci split, so if i had 2 2060s i could even use the splitter i would need to use a seperate pci cable for each gpu ?
great video subscribed！i'm still anxious tho🤣… re- dual psu setup... PSU(1) power's anything connected to the mobo; PSU(2) powers the Gcards; ex, i have 6 cards. PSU(2) may only be able to power 3 or 4 cards.... i can use PSU(1) for the other 2, right?
Great video! I had watched other videos on this topip and I still had some doubts. But this one has absolutelly clarifays the thing. Thank you so so so much! :)
Super helpful video! Do you have a link on the chip you use to connect 2 PSUs? Any suggestions on what to use to combine 3 PSUs? I'd love a video on this if you have one. Thanks!
Absolutely, it's these, you can actually use more than one to connect 3 or more PSUs per rig: amzn.to/2TdIIVG (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you). Good luck :)
But what about feeding two different GPUs female pins by one split cable (8pin from PSU to two 8pin cables (divided by a splitter), one 8 pin to a gpu and other to the second gpu), taking in account that the total amount of power will not exceed the lets say 240W limit. Will they somehow interfere? Is there anything like different frequencies of power consumption between the two GPUs, or some rule like "never plug one cable(that comes from PSU and then divided by a splitter) to multiple different devices, even if the total amount of power will not exceed the cables limits?
In other words, am I allowed to do this? 1. From PSU one 8pin cable 2. Divide it with a splitter 3. Power one 1660 Super with one cable from the splitter 4. Power a second 1600 Super with one cable from the splitter
I have a rig I want to build with 2*1660s, 2060 and a 3070. My power supply is Inwin 850W p-Series. It’s have only 3 pcie cable and I have 4 cards. So I am planning to use a 8 pin splitter cable between my 2 1660super’s. I don’t want to buy another psu for just one card. So is that splitting is okay.?? Can you please recommend me a good 8 pin pcie splitter cable that’s best for this purpose and where to find it.??
TDP for just your GPUs is 620W. Add another 150W at least for the rest of your system and you’re at 770W. That’s more than 90% of your power supply, and as I say in the video I definitely do not recommend going over 80%. I’m sorry, I understand this is not the answer you were hoping for but I cannot recommend using just a single 850W PSU for all those GPUs. Good luck!
I'm just getting started with my first rig. After watching this video I really get how to power my rig safely. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks Seb.
Hey Steve thanks for that nice comment I’m glad it’s been helpful :)

I have 2060 super GPU with 175W TDP , can I conect 1 end of pcie cable to the GPU and second one to the riser ?
Is 170-200 watts OK for 18awg 8 pin connector with splits?
Recommended PCIe splitter?
The 8 pin to dual 8 pin from the psu can handle 300w? Why does some people say it only power 150?

hi sebs nice video like always. i have this issue (GPU power 742W < 1000W, rebooting) with my 2 rigs. I don't know if it's because i have 2 power supply one each rig (1 atx and 1 server ).
It's been working fine for weeks without this issue and now for no reason this issue came. i tried many this but nothing.
So let me just get this straight. If you split it you have to make sure it doesn't go over 300 watt
.so basically you can have 1 8 pin power 4 riser because that equal 300watt but just to be safe you should only power 3 riser because of 80% rule. Meaning if you don't power any gpu 1 8 pin can power 3 riser safety. Is that correct
Once again, amazing Bro! Thanks very much
youre great at explaining concepts thanks
hey good vid, but will i be ok powering 2 gpus from a 550w power supply, 2 gpus shouldnt pull more than 400w no? so will i be fine to power rig with windows 10 and the 2 gpus?
Depends on what GPUs they are. For example a 1660 uses 120W but a 3080 uses 320W. Also depends on if you have other things connected to that PSU like your motherboard.
@@SebsFinTechChannel 1 1660 + 1 2060 ive heard you allow 100 watts for motherboard , but if i can run 2 gpus of 1 pc1 which is max 300w + 100 w for mobo still got 150w to play with, is that correct
@@SebsFinTechChannel wow so 1660 125w + 2060 175w = 300w max for pci split, so if i had 2 2060s i could even use the splitter i would need to use a seperate pci cable for each gpu ?
Very good tip for new miners
great video subscribed！i'm still anxious tho🤣… re- dual psu setup... PSU(1) power's anything connected to the mobo; PSU(2) powers the Gcards; ex, i have 6 cards. PSU(2) may only be able to power 3 or 4 cards.... i can use PSU(1) for the other 2, right?
Yes as long as it has enough watts. And always plug the same PSU into the GPU and the riser for that GPU. Good luck!
Great video! I had watched other videos on this topip and I still had some doubts. But this one has absolutelly clarifays the thing. Thank you so so so much! :)
So glad it helped :) Good luck!
Wow, great explanation.
keep up bro I like your videos
Thanks mate!
Super helpful video! Do you have a link on the chip you use to connect 2 PSUs? Any suggestions on what to use to combine 3 PSUs? I'd love a video on this if you have one. Thanks!
Absolutely, it's these, you can actually use more than one to connect 3 or more PSUs per rig: amzn.to/2TdIIVG (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you). Good luck :)

But what about feeding two different GPUs female pins by one split cable (8pin from PSU to two 8pin cables (divided by a splitter), one 8 pin to a gpu and other to the second gpu), taking in account that the total amount of power will not exceed the lets say 240W limit. Will they somehow interfere? Is there anything like different frequencies of power consumption between the two GPUs, or some rule like "never plug one cable(that comes from PSU and then divided by a splitter) to multiple different devices, even if the total amount of power will not exceed the cables limits?
In other words, am I allowed to do this?
1. From PSU one 8pin cable
2. Divide it with a splitter
3. Power one 1660 Super with one cable from the splitter
4. Power a second 1600 Super with one cable from the splitter
I have a rig I want to build with 2*1660s, 2060 and a 3070. My power supply is Inwin 850W p-Series. It’s have only 3 pcie cable and I have 4 cards. So I am planning to use a 8 pin splitter cable between my 2 1660super’s. I don’t want to buy another psu for just one card. So is that splitting is okay.?? Can you please recommend me a good 8 pin pcie splitter cable that’s best for this purpose and where to find it.??
TDP for just your GPUs is 620W. Add another 150W at least for the rest of your system and you’re at 770W. That’s more than 90% of your power supply, and as I say in the video I definitely do not recommend going over 80%. I’m sorry, I understand this is not the answer you were hoping for but I cannot recommend using just a single 850W PSU for all those GPUs. Good luck!
Absolutely great work in this video. Love your introduction part in each video, Hi Sam Haslo : - ) here.
1st view ... amazing video ...keep it up!!
Awesome! Thank you!
can i use sata power for my rx 6600xt which only consuming 61w?
I also learned lot of things...
