hi
still don't know what to do
as some people highly recommend me to use powered risers,there are some who claim that the powered ones can be dangerous too.
my question is rather technical because I would like to know how much an 8-pin rx470 consums power from pciex 1 slot (as it has two more pins than the reference one, can those two extra pins provide enough power in order not to use a powered riser?)
I don't care about the price and type of the riser cables ,but different ideas about the powered and non powered risers are a little annoying .
my rig :
5 x sapphire rx470 8gb nitro (3 with simple 1x to 16x riser cables and 2 with simple 16x to 16x riser cables)
(so far everything is ok, no issues at all)
psu Coolermaster v1000
motherboard GIGABYTE F2A88X-UP4
many thanks
