RoMe media Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello everybody. I am running my video rendering system with 4 GPUs at 308W and want to add more GPUs of the same type. I need another port for a "TYPE3/PCIe" cable, but there is only the second one of the "4+4 CPU" Ports left. Is it ok to use this for GPUs? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 See http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,review-32338-12.html Caution: The eight-pin PCI Express Auxiliary Power Connector and the eight-pin EPS12V CPU Power Connector use similar Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connector housings. Although they are keyed differently, the keying can be overcome by sufficient force such that you can plug an EPS12V power connector into a graphics card, or a PCI Express power connector into a motherboard. Either of these scenarios results in +12 V being directly shorted to ground, potentially destroying the motherboard, graphics card, or power supply.
