Yes , this really helps , if I use it for S5+ and connect 14PCIE 6pins of them, which ones I should connect , or just choose any 14 of them  . thanks


James,

the PCIe connectors are all soldered to a common 12V, so any one is fine.  I have run the cables/connectors up to and over 300W each with single-cable powered Neptune modules without a problem. Contact J4bberwock directly and he can quote you for a bulk order, if you are in North America and are looking for a small quantity to sample PM me.

As I mentioned before though, I would be hesitant to run a full S5+ off a single 2880W PSU for long term as it is over 3100W DC draw. However 2x PSU's for 3x S5+ would work well IMO and still give you better efficiency from the PSU's.

I don't understand how if you worry about a single PSU and a single S5+, why THREE S5+ and TWO PSU's would be OK. Did you get things a little reversed here? Maybe you meant 3xPSU and 2xS5+?

Yes thank you, reversed my numbers accidentally.  Edited


In the U.S. This is a more common style 110v or 220v so do these breakout boards get made for USA different from say Europe?


They only come in the one configuration.  The C13-C14 connector/receptacle like you posted is only rated for 10A max.  The C19-C20 is not less common, but used in different server/enterprise applications, and is rated for 16A.  (2880W / 240V = 12A, I've measured it as high as 13.5A at the plug)
