Yes

Do you have a link of an example cable that would be good quality + compatible with my PSU/corsair cable?

Just now, jaslion said:

Well then you don't have a choice to get GOOD extender cables. But DO NOT GET A SPLITTER AT ALL EVER. Get a 1 to 1 8pin extension cable.

Okay thanks for the advice, so 1 to 1, 8 pin male to female?

Just now, jaslion said:

Then just get 2 separate cables that plug into your psu.

Dont have any space left on the PSU and dont want to get another PSU for 1 cable thus why im trying to find a solution

Sorry maybe im explaining wrong. Its not the length of the cable from the PSU to the male connecter, its the daisy chain. The cable has two male connectors at the end, i need the range of the connecter coming off the connector to be longer so they are not as close to eachother....

So i have a PCIE cable from the PSU to a riser, then the OEM daisy chain off that cable to another riser but it is too short and close together so i want to extend one of the ends so the risers arent so close together.....

Just buy a longer cable from cablemod or something. I advice against cheap extenders where possible and most are just that cheap crappy extender cables.

Buy a longer direct cable, not an extension.

Its to power a riser so this wont solve my issue either. Basically, the cable coming out of the PSU, 1 male connector is going into 1 riser and the other male connector is going in the other but there is not enough space between them so i need to create more distance, thus plugging an extender like the one i linked into one of the male connectors with the female side then plug the male side of the extender into the riser.....

Hi,

I need more length on my power cable from PSU to GPU. I want to know if i purchase a 8 Pin Female to Dual 8 Pin (6+2) Male PCI Express Power Cable 18AWG extender cable and plug it on the end of the PCIE cable coming out of the PSU, this will work and give me some extra length?

I have a Corsair 1000W RM1000x Gold Power Supply.

Thank you.

The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the 24pin motherboard cable. The cables for PCIe, EPS12V (CPU), peripheral, and SATA are compatible between Type 3/Type 4. There's no "Type 4" peripheral/SATA connector it's just Type 3.

 

The coloured dots indicate which type of cables the power supply is compatible with. The RMx column is the one relevant to both your RM750x white and RM1000x.

Brilliant. Thank you - looks like im good to go.

The white RM750x and RM1000x use the same type of cables. All Corsair RMx power supplies use Corsair Type 4 cables. You can mix the cables between those two power supplies.

 

Not all Corsair PSUs use the same cables.

https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/psu-cable-compatibility

On the cable from the 750 it has "type 3" on the side of the 6 pin that goes into the PSU.

Edit: after reading that site, it says "Disclaimer: The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the pinout of the 24-pin ATX cable; all other cables (SATA, PCIe, etc) are the same."

So i think im all good.

Hi,

I have 2 PSU's and was wondering if the cables can be interchangeable between the 2 (i heard you cant use cables from one PSU to another).

1. Corsair RM750x White Series 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
2. Corsair RM1000x 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Given they are both Corsair, will this be a problem mixing and matching their power cables between the 2?

Thanks.

Okay great. Also noticed all GPU now have LHR. Is this a problem? What are your thoughts about this?

Thinking of grabbing Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC Pro 8GB Video Card - Rev 3.0 LHR Version

Just now, ki8aras said:

unless you can sell the 2060 for a decent chunk of cash then i would recommend u hold onto it, plus power consumption will be lower so yea

Okay I might do that, just throw in another 3060ti. Will i still need to use DDU for fresh drivers?

1 minute ago, ki8aras said:

you would be fine with a 750w but youre leaving yourself no room for expandability in the future(meaning youd need to get a second psu to add more cards, which isnt ideal)

This would just be short term until im willing to build a dedicated rig setup for mining. Just really confused on what to do GPU wise with my current setup.

A bit thrown off with getting 2 3060ti's as multiple people are saying im stretching it with my current PSU.

Im also thinking if i just keep my 2060 super and throw in 1 3060ti with it?

Yes, my mistake.

From a physical standpoint it's plug and play, but you need to clear and install the drivers properly. Although, windows will recognize your GPUs correctly, and they will more or less run properly, You should still Wipe the Drivers, since there will be occasional issues with them otherwise. 

About the 750W PSU though, you could theoretically get away with it, If you had an Athlon.

However with a Ryzen 9 it's different.

It would probably run fine for the most part,(Since while gaming, You'd really be using only one of the cards, and while mining, You wouldn't be using Your CPU, hopefully) but I would advise against using this PSU.

Appreciate your input. Will keep this in mind.

you overclock the memory and lower the power limit to about 80% for efficiency (ive got 4 3060 ti's mining in the basement)

Right I see, thats awesome man.

Thats what i want to achieve, but going to start with 2 3060ti's on my existing gaming PC:

Case: In Win 303 Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case - White
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R ARGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
MOBO: Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 32GB DDR4 3600MHz
PSU: Corsair RM750x White Series 750W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
SSD 1: Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512GB
SSD 2: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB

Any advice or tips that you can think of from whats been said so far? & do you think my current PSU will definitely be okay?

Also what can you tell me about LHR gpu's? Will they be an issue because im struggling to see any cards that dont have LHR.

Just now, ki8aras said:

youre going to downclock your cards anyways to run at about 160w each so youre well within the limit(just be careful which exact card you buy cuz some of them require 2 power cables)

I believe i would be overclocking as they will be used for mining to squeeze the most out of them.

I dont think ive ever seen anyone downclocking when mining?

This is not how it works, you can't swap cards and treat it as 'plug and play', most likely, your OS will treat the new card9s0 as unrecognized device or generic VGA. When you want to swap out or change cards, it is recommended to use DDU to wipe away all traces of previous driver to ensure a good and clean install. This is true even when swapping cards from the same company like the OP/TS....

 

I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable with a 750W PSU for the 3900X and 2x RTX 3060 Ti, I'd feel better if it were an 850W Gold rated PSU. I always err on the side of safety when it comes to PSU, so I'd always go for more than 'just enough' by a fair margin.

This is great feedback.

I did this quickly and do see it cuts it close: https://imgur.com/a/KrgWHGX

Thank you for your input.

So long as your PSU can supply enough power, and has all the necessary 6/8-pin cables - It should be plug and play.

It is a Corsair RM750x White Series 750W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply.

You might as well get a single more powerful GPU instead of paying for two RTX 3060 Ti's, SLi is pretty much dead, same goes for AMD's CrossFire. I'd suggest an RTX 3080/RX 6800 XT or higher.

 

And no, not advisable to try that 'plug and play' method. First, before swapping out your cards, be sure to download the latest driver and have it in your computer for easy installation. Next, uninstall the driver for your RTX 2060, I'd recommend running DDU in 'Safe Mode' (you can check one of the options on DDU to prevent Windows from downloading some crap old driver upon reboot) to totally erase all traces of the present driver (DDU - Display Driver Uninstaller, google it if you don't already have it). 

 

Once that is done, power off your computer, and switch off the PSU (using the On/off switch on PSU), or simply unplug  the PSU from the wall socket. Swap out the cards, be sure that the new card is securely seated in the PCIe X16 slot. You can now power up your system and install the latest driver...

Thank you for your responses. The reason I am going with 2x 3060ti's is for crypto mining. These two are most efficient in regards to power/hashrate rather than 1 3090 for example. Right so I will use DDU to uninstall then once it is all shutdown and powered down, I unplug the 2060 super, plug in the 2x 3060ti's then boot back into safe mode to install the nvidia drivers again? Or just boot into Windows normally with no drivers installed?

Hi,

I currently have a 2060 Super and am wanting to upgrade to 2x 3060ti's. If i were to purchase them, would it be a matter of shutting down, taking out the 2060 super and plugging in the 2x 3060ti's? (plug and play?)

Current specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
MOBO: Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 32GB DDR4 3600MHz

Please let me know if any other information is needed.

Thank you for any help in advanced.

Pretty sure it's Nvidia driver giving you trouble.

 

I assume that PSU is capable of supplying the system.
Check the temps, overheating might be the case.

Next:

• If GPU isn't overclocked first thing I'd recommend would be full uninstall and fresh install of the driver.
• If it's overclocked - try moving back to stock and see how are you doing.

If issue still persists then it might be a RAM issue or GPU itself.

• If it's RAM then using one stick at the time while trying to reproduce BSOD is a way to go.
• If worst case scenario aka GPU then I'd start with trying clean OS and seeing where it takes me, if to the same BSOD then I'm sorry mate.

 

Thanks for your reply.

After searching around, seems to be related to nvidia drivers.

Going to try a fresh install of drivers if it happens again.

Cheers.

Hi,

I have been getting random BSOD crashes today (has happened twice now) and would like to sort it out. The two crashes are the same and are as follows: (screenshots from blue screen view)

If anyone can help me identify what is causing this, that would be much appreciated.

Please let me know if there is anything I am missing to assist identifying this.

Thank you.

It makes sence, yes. And if you connect the line in to the line out on the back of the Go XLR? And route accordingly ofcourse.

I figured it out. Was the GLI. I disconnected it and the issue went away but had a load of buzz and unwanted noise so will need to probably get a different one and hope it works as expected.

So . . . the inversion happens somewhere from between the line in and line out . .. 

Lets put this in perspective.

 

Your game / system audio goes out to the GoXLR via USB, where you set up the audio devices of line 1-4 in the GoXLR app and corresponding sources (teamspeak, discord, whichever).

Then you output everything (minus mic probably) on the Line-Out of the GoXLR to the Line in on the computer.

This line in is configured to be listened to by the Headset.

 

Am i correct so far?

So the connection is:

Go xlr connects to the PC via USB

Logitech headset is connected by having the headphone jack on the go xlr connect to the "line in" on the pc with a 3.5mm + ground loop isolator. The "line in" is then configured to listen to the logitech wireless headset as shown in the imgur.

Does this make sense?

haven't got a clue. Can't find anything in the GoXLR app, nor in the windows section

 

If you connect it without listening to device. Is it still reversed? and perhaps the most simple solution . . . do you have the left cup actually on your left ear?

If i connect it and use it normally, its fine. hahahah yes, cups are on the correct ears.
