Hey guys!
I’m currently facing a strange issue and I wanted to see if any of you has a solution for me. I just bought a couple of 6pin male to 6pin male PCIE cables to power my risers. I was trying to hook them up directly to the PSU (6pin peripheral connectors) & the risers. Depending on which PSU I hook them up to I get two different errors:
- PSU1: System won’t power up at all
- PSU2: System does power up and windows boots but the GPUs are not detected
That means the problem seems to be either located in the PSU (as mentioned I tried both of them but neither worked) or the cables (tried 4 different ones with the same result). Do you guys have any ideas or did anyone experience the same issue? Just as a heads up, everything works fine when I use the 8pin PCIE slots in the PSU and hook the risers up with 8pin to two 6pin PCIE. I would go with that but I don’t have enough 8pin PCIE slots in the PSUs to power the GPUs & the risers, so its not an option.
