Hi guys. New to mining and these forums, hopefully can learn some stuff from here and give back in return
So I decided to take the plunge and go all out buying/building a mining rig.
So far have an order in for 6 rx580 sapphire nitro+ so waiting for my order to be fulfilled on that.
I already have a decent motherboard for it, and ram. Going to buy a cheapy celeron processor, still trying to source a PSU for the job and have some usb risers lined up.
What I am not clear on is how I am going to power these cards....
My research has discovered that the cards have an 8 pin and 6 pin for power. I saw a couple of videos where some guys are using what looks like pcie to sata power cables and I have tried to look for some that would fit... But to no avail.
Only thing I can find is 6 pin to 15 pin sata power and no 8 (or 6+2).
So my question is... How do I power these things? Any links to needed cables etc would be VERY much appreciated
Thanks
