So I bought a couple of break out boards a few months ago and it seem they are not working now? The fans on the psu wont spin , I thought the psus were bad ( 2880 IBM ones )
But I got two brand  new psus off eBay and its the same deal, first two green lights go on
Psu starts to get super hot BC fans wont activate

I've tried sp20s ants 🐜. Any ideas?



Hi, it will depend on the date you ordered the boards.
The very first batch had some trouble because the pins dimensions were out of specs, so the contact wasn't perfect on the signal to turn on the psu or the fans.
The batches after that have signal pins soldered systematically to avoid any trouble, even if the pins are now to specs.

You can probably see even without removing the white plate if the pin to turn on the PSU is soldered



the one under the "n" is usually visible from the outside.

the one in the square under the "H" turns the fans on.
