Hi guys, I am planning on building a mining rig with 2xGTX 1070 and 4xGTX 1060
Now the problem is I ordered 6 risers ver 007S, which have peripheral (sata) connector. As far as I read I won’t have a problem on my GTX 1070 cards since they have 8+6 pin which is 225W and I’ll be using tops 180W per card~
On the 1060 cards though they have only a single 6 pin connector, which is 75W, and they’ll probably be at 110-130W (haven’t tested yet…). As far as I read it’s not recommended to use peripheral cable for this purpose. Should I buy the ver 006C risers that have the PCI-e connector on them?

My PSU is a Seasonic Prime 1200W Gold btw
