Speaking of PSU's .... (pardon a bit off-topic)
( at one point I was considering putting those on the S5's )
cheap a$$ 750W Thermaltake's, 2 of them hooked to 1 S3 each.
While messing around with the vertical arrangement and noise reduction, I wanted to re-arrange my miners to different locations in the basement and different outlets.
I guess I have to thank all of the tinkerers on this forum for helping me not to burn my house down...
Thank you Stratos, Philipma1957, klondike_bar, Rabinovitch et al.
The broken off post plastic was stuck in the miners. Touching any of the plastic and it just crumbled to pieces.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Now I'm concerned about my
Thermaltake 750w Gold PSU's. My S3's were of course happy with those, but you're making me concerned that I'm running my S5's with them. (1 psu per S5).
Advice anyone?
I think you might be alright... the ones in the picture are Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750PCBUS 750W ATX 12V 2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supplies.
I just removed a third one because the wires were freakishly hot to the touch.
At this time I have the S5's on Corsair RM750's and the wires are just barley warm to the touch. No comparison to the Thermaltake...
I am going to shop for Rosewill Lightning 1300's because 1 of those will power 2 S5's (got 8 x PCIe)
Now I have to find some replacement for the Fans ... the Delta's 1212HHE (used Mac case fans, 4 wire) are not working at all! By the time I get my 55 year old rear end all situated it's time to sell these and find others...BIGGER, BETTER
