On the motherboard, you can fiddle with all the BIOS settings regarding mining, etc. I got hung up because I chose "6 cards" for mining. It did a weird POST screen and wouldn't boot. I put it on "More than 6" and it works fine (even though I only have 6).
On the Power Supply, you can just get any PSUs or any 1200W. I did notice it was pulling just over 1000W the other night but I didn't check which algorithm it was doing. There is another Corsair 1200W for $50 less than mine. I don't know the difference, but it wasn't available when I ordered, so I just threw down for $300.
Good luck! Let me know if you run into trouble and I'll look at my settings or whatever.
This is what a riser looks like, and then generally you get custom cases like this, although I generally build cases with the same design.
Hey u/jimmy_007vn,
Assuming you're talking about this PSU. If you are, this PSU can power 3 Vega cards and whatever risers you'd need. The risers will be connected to the SATA rails that come from the PSU.
Currently there are 3 types of risers:
Molex/SATA
SATA/6-pin
SATA
All three of these types of risers will be connected to the PSU rails directly. You don't need to buy a pin converter. You'll just need two power supplies and a power supply connector so that you can run 6 cards.
I have personally tested the Molex/SATA and the SATA risers, and I personally like the SATA risers. The Molex/SATA risers have melted twice on me, causing two GPUs to ruin themselves(this occured at different times). The SATA only riser is currently the best I have used. I have not had a melting issue like I did with Molex/SATA. I have bought some of the newer 6-pin risers to test after reading that they are supposedly safer than previous riser types.
The electricity used by the risers will be negligible, and you don't have to worry about overloading your 1000w PSU.
I hope this helped.
I have 3 different types, one of which seems to be about the same as the first one you linked.
The second type is similar, but in red, and the third is the exact ones your second link points to.
I'm not sure why our experiences would differ like this, though there is probably a good bit of variation between superficially similar risers.
I'll do some more fiddling with my rig that uses the first type of riser. I don't think it'll change much, because I've always tried to use the VGA power cords when possible, exactly because I have been concerned about overloading SATA connectors.

seem to work well in my case.
Are my risers safe and good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074PS39BK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
None so far. I have 17 gpus on them right now. I am using mostly this brand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PS39BK/ref=psdc_3015403011_t1_B01N3UVJHM
I would recommend Mailiya v006C, zero issues and very clean nicely soldered boards.
Mailiya v006C Wonderful risers.
Don't use Ubit v103C, those things are trash and caused me hours of headache. I opened 7 of them and only 4 worked. Poor soldering, splattered solder, missing solder, poor power. Even the ones that did work did not play nice with the MSI Armor series of cards. I wish I kept them longer to analyze but by the time I had enough I just wanted to get my money back. The ones here... do not buy.
Edit: Thanks for the downvotes. Fuck me for having a bad experience with your precious Ubit.
