PSU for a 6 GPU rig

[Rechdan]

Well, as the title says, I'm looking for a PSU who can handles 6 GPUS with 2x8-pin connector each, each GPU will consume around 200~220W, any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Just going by power consumption, a Corsair AX1500i would probably be your best bet.

Get a tier one or two rated for 1350W or higher

at that kind of wattage, get the very best you can afford. i'd actually even go as far to say 80+ platinum as a minimum, the vareous ~1600 watt power supplies of the big names out there would suit very well.

I see, but it has "only" 10 8-pin ports, picture: URL

Agreed, need to be the best rated and one that I can afford hahaha

I think the P2 and T2 1600W should have enough PCIe connectors. Same should go for the Leadex Platinum and Titanium.

Even if you can't afford something better/more efficient, you should get something better/more efficient. A 5% efficiency difference (you'd have to check efficiency curves, not just 80+ ratings) when you're pulling 1600w~ 24/7 365 days a year can easily be $100-$200 (and since you're asking about 6 GPUs I'm assuming you're planning on mining 24/7).

You are correct, I'm planning on mining altcoins with this RIG wich will have 6 RX Vega 64 (2x 8-pins each)

I searched for the T2 and P2 but it looks like we dont have those in my country(Brazil), any other suggestion?

out of curiosity, how much difference does the shaders make when mining when comparing vega 56 and vega 64?
