Hello there i am new to all this mining and stuffs currently i am mining zcash(ZEC) on my Asus Strix GTX 1060@6GB and getting 330+Sols/Sec which is taking 2-3 for 0.01(ZEC)
So what i was thinking to buy another card which would be MSI GAMING X 1070ti to my Asus Miximus VII Ranger motherboard and add it with my GTX 1060 as cant be SLI i can still mine right? both cards in same motherboard if thats possible then i would be mining 0.01 ZEC daily
i can add another card with my 1060ti for mining right? i mean with out sli i can still mine with both cards?
And i have this Coolermaster 650w PSU its enoufgh? i think not as it has only 6+2Pin x2 Connectors and MSI 1070ti needs more connector

Yes you can do it

Your PSU is enough, and if you buy the 1070 instead of the Ti the connectors are fine.

Consider the Ti doesn't mine any faster that the normal 1070 really.

But if you get the Ti get a PSU that supports four separate 4x 6+2 pin cables and make sure your case is equipped for the extra heat , it's more than you think.

Well I have bought the MSI gaming titanium 1070ti.
And I am getting like 530-540 sols... But that's not the issue the issue is heat I have cm690 III Case and it has 3 Intake fans and 3 exhaust before buying the MSI the Asus strix 1060 running pretty cool while mining but now as 2 GPU in case the strix is now 60+ and MSI 81'c I have to run the fans at 100% all fans including GPU and have to open the side panels then only the MSI temp drop to 65'c
