Noob miner here.
I have a coolmaster 1200w Platinum Psu.
I am running 5 x Nvidia 1660 Supers ( 2 x Asus TUF, 3 x Gigabyte 6D 6G). The GPU’s pull about 350w when mining, averaging about 70w each once overclocked. These are hashing at about 30MH/s each on Nicehash.
I am unsure of the wattage pull for the motherboard (Biostart TB250 – Pro), SSD (Kingston 120Gb), CPU (4400), CPU fan and keyboard. All combined, I presume this is less than a 150w draw.
My question is, if the biostar motherboard supports 8 Gpu’s, is it safe to add an extra 3 x 1660 Super for a total of 8 Gpu’s. The combined wattage wilst mining shall be well below 800w (i.e. GPU’s =70w x 8 = 560w and Other components of 150w), however I am unsure of the impact of the GPU’s TDP values(125W). I don’t want to make the mistake of expecting more power from my PSU than I should.
In addition, beyond the Mobo, peripherals and GPU's, how many watts would the 8 riser cards pull?
I've ordered a Watt meter, but it only arrives by courier in a week's time.
Hoping to get advice from experienced miners in the meantime.
