Added 2nd Nvidia card…
#3
I finally got the second Nvidia GTX 970 straightened out. I needed a 6 to 8 pin power plug adapter. But that was not all. After buttoning up the box and starting the benchmark, the benchmark would run for about 10-15 seconds then the computer would shut down. Power off, blank screen, shut down. I have a 1100 watt PSU. It couldn't be that I don't have enough power… I open the box. I look around. I see another set of six pin power cables, but differently color coded. What are the chances? I switch the cables, button up the box and restart. Re-run the benchmarks and everything is good. 

I'm guessing that the different colored power cables were from a separate "section" of the PSU and therefore didn't over draw the PSU causing it to shut down.

So all is good, and both GTX 970 are running well. Now I just have to learn how to use Hashcat…
