So I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks and would like to get a couple more RX470's going, I don't have the money to really shell out another cpu, motherboard, case and power supply. With my current 470's the wattage is about 70-90 per card . At most I believe the 470's get to 120 watts. If I get splitters just to do 2 cards per slot for 2-3 slots would there be a problem? Older cards have drawn up to 250 watts so worst case scenario the 470's paired together would do 240 watts. Adding it all up it seems like it may be safe but id like to hear from someone that has tried this and share their results. I'll be going on vacation so if a fire starts i'd be helpless lmao so I need some good reassurance that this is safe.
