Want to know how much power your card draws from the PCI Express riser and from each of the power cables? Make yourself a cheap and easy DIY PCIe power meter - the must have tool for every serious miner :)

A special Thanks to our subscribers. We reached 1000 subs today.

Parts:
2x Volt/Amp meter - extremely cheap and simple ones. There are more advanced model, but this is what we had in hand.
1x dual 6 pin to 8 pin adapter - we use one of the 6 pin female connectors with some wires only
1x 8 pin to dual 6+2 pin connector - we use the whole thing ... cut in 3 ;)
2x 2 wire 13 AWG (2.5 sq mm) cable. Choose the lenth you need.
Heat shrink tubing for here and there
A small box to fit it all...
6x Wago fast connectors - 4x 5 wire and 2x 3 wire models.

Notes: This device is suitable for 1 power connector cards. Add another volt/amp meter to be able to connect 2 connector cards or make 2 of these devices like we did.
!!! Very important !!!: Testing should be done on dedicated mining boards.
