7 is not mega… 8 is mega 😜 and you said H270-plus is only for 4 cards… it can do 8. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/2X/4/470040a1b5592e672657ade0b8b2886fd02c01a6.JPG) and yes those are all red devil 😈 golden samples… when you go mega… you go all the way ROFL ! ---

Stupid question but would like to know if you can help. How do you connect 2 psu’s to one rig? Is there something you need to change on one of them so that they power on the same time? ---

it is not a stupid question, it is something that a lot of people do incorrectly yet it is very simple and not expensive to do properly and safely. All you need is one of these: [https://cryptomined.com/index.php?main\_page=product\_info&cPath=253\_238&products\_id=223](https://cryptomined.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=253_238&products_id=223) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/2X/2/2acb7d9c96c2c024c5026c6219b866017d600ce2.jpg) I am uploading my “How to build an 8 GPU mining rig” video now, and I show how to properly connect one of these and how to properly use the cables with both GPUs. I will create a new thread here when the upload is complete. ---

the fans are RGB LED with remote control… they can be turned to green for Nvidia rigs too. the rig frame is available here: [https://cryptomined.com/index.php?main\_page=product\_info&cPath=245\_262&products\_id=252](https://cryptomined.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=245_262&products_id=252) and it is much more suitable for mining than the standard server boxes that most people use for a 7 or 8 GPU build… 7 GPU frames are available through custom orders. ---

I’m good for frames, already have built stackables. May order some riser cards off you some point, as few from my last batch smoked one of my mobo’s. ---

Yes I currently have a package I am shipping to Gauteng, South Africa today and another miner waiting for 6 BlackBlizzard frames. You should email me at [cryptomined@cryptomined.com](mailto:cryptomined@cryptomined.com) and ask for a DHL shipping quote. I can not put DHL shipping in the store as DHL is calculated by either a LxWxH formula or by real weight, which ever produces a higher “weight” value. So i need to do every DHL cacluation individually. Thanks for the interest. ---

> [@anon](#): > > as few from my last batch smoked one of my mobo’s. Ykes! dont use those molex to sata extension cables, and no more than 2 risers per cable. I do use a single riser per 295x2 and havent had a problem, but that IMO is risky as they easily hit 400 watts, 500 with an OC ---

Using 16 AWG each with 2 cards max already. I haven’t had time to look into it further but my money’s on the risers molex port as it came loose after power down and held that distinct smell ---

sorry to hear that, I’ve seen 2 melt downs already in the last 2 weeks, now you are hte 3rd i have heard of. (though they were not using my risers, one guy had 4 connected to one cable, and another had 3 390s on one cable + an ssd) ---

EU 🙂 Thanks visiting some family and take the wife to see the cities. I will also be meeting with some mining companies… one wallet company and one mining company, so some business on the side. 🙂 and some beers with someone who I need to deliver some QR Code wallets to (keychains and pendants)… figured since i will be in his city, better just deliver it in person LOL ---

We corrected that 4 card comment in the follow up video. Once our PCIe 3 to 1 and M.2 to PCIe gets in. We are going to build a 8gpu+ few builds as mentioned in last weeks livestream. Looking to keep it on a single PSU though with the eVGA Titanium T2 1600. ---

> [@bitsbetrippin](#): > > eVGA Titanium T2 1600. waste of money in my honest opinion and you dont get enough 6 pin cables to do a good job powering risers… Dual PSU is superior because 1. cheaper and you get more watts 2. you get enough 6 pin ports and enough sata/molex cables to better power all the risers… I think single psu is just for those who are unwilling to do it proper with dual PSU… its kind of lazy and a waste of money [Next page](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/bbt-this-weekend-covering-zcash-mining-rig-7x-msi-gtx-1080-twin-frozr-oc/16249.md?page=2)
