If you are assembling a mining GPU rig based on a 6, 12 or even a 19 PCI-e slot motherboard, you might be interested in this new product that has been released to the market and is already on sale today.
Wonoovi, a not-so-well-known Chinese hardware manufacturer released a new USB riser that features three power connectors:
- SATA power
- 4-pin Molex
- 6-pin Molex
The riser allows you to have more flexibility when connecting your GPUs – sometimes you might not have enough power connectors of certain type and this USB riser allows you to use alternatives.
Now, it might be a good idea to avoid using the SATA power cable when possible since SATA power cables have the lowest power rating among the three. That being said, you can mix and combine two different power connectors to avoid overcharging one single cable.
It is also a good idea to keep in mind that the cables that go to the power supply have their own power rating too. Therefore, unless you are using GPUs with low power draw, I’d suggest you to avoid connecting more than two PCI-e extenders per cable.
The modular connectors between the PSU and the cables that go to the risers can sometimes be the weak point too, so keep an eye on those. Usually, there is no way to know the maximum amount of current those can withstand. However, if your rig loses a chunk of its hashrate, modular connectors are usually the first thing to check.
Where to buy!
In conclusion, Wonoovi’s USB Risers VER 008 can be a great addition to your mining rig as long as you use them wisely and keep the limitations of the other elements of the chain in mind.
I love the LED indicator on them, wish there was a v006c+ 6pin with just the LED added.
where to buy ?
What does LED indicaor indicates…?
That it’s working.
Hello
Where did you buy this risers ?
Hey Cipriani! What Risers do you suggest we buy? Molex ones rather than SATA? and any specific version or latest? Thanks my friend!!
Hi, use the 008s ones.
thanks mate. shit i bought the 009 ones, will those do fine? Can I also ask if you think its worth buying 1070sti and 1080sti over the former for eth? Heard its good qith Z but not sure ETH. Thanks a lot!!
009s are also good, waste of money mining ETH with 1070s or 1080s right now :/
Thanks mate. What would you suggest? I need to expand buying around 30 new GPUs. should i get 580s for eth and 1070s/80sti for Zcash ?
go with GTX 🙂
So i have this query,, i have 20 galax gtx 1050 ti 4gb n it does not have 6 pin or 4 pin power connector, it directly takes power from mobo, now i m.bit confused how to set it up ,, i want to make 6 gpu rig or maybe 11 but how will it work ,, will all 6/11 gpu will take power from board as they does not have 6/4 pin power connector,, or i have to use this new version of riser,, plz help me set it up,, i m bit confused which motherboard shall i buy to make 6 or 11 gpu board for these 1050 ti.. help
