hi there
i am using 5x sapphire rx470 nitro plus 8gb mining ethereum. Three of the gpus have been connected to pci x1 using 1x to 16x riser cables (they are not powered) .My question is that, given the fact that all my cards are connected to the psu with an 8-pin gpu cable (not a 6-pin) do i still have to change my riser cables with a powered one (reference rx470 cards have 6-pin connector and naturally the pcie slot is under pressure)
how much is it dangerous if i keep using the cables?
i have been minig for about a month.
thanks
