guys its called a pico psu which accepts only 12v which is supplied by the server psu, pico powers both mobo and a hdd/sdd.
ive got 2 full rigs of 6 gpus each with this setup, its nice and clean less wires going all over the place etc, soon to be 3 rigs
I use hp 1200w and 1500w platinum rated server psu's and yes its safe and secure, these psu's are little better and there made for enviroments such as we are using them in, they will last much longer than then atx psu counterparts, downside is these mostly all run on 220v only to get the full wattage
Thanks alot buddy, for the great response.
Now can you tell me the Model number for 1200W
Is there any model of PICO Power and Breakout Board? Can you share picture please.
Did you buy Brand New or Refurb or Used / Pull Out (Excellent Condition)
What did it cost you for HP 1200 W - Platinum ?
Thanks.
flminer mods picos to power from the 6 pin off of a breakout board, and will soon be offering pcie cables:
I try to snipe used/refurb on ebay/amazon but have been burnt by sellers on ebay (with good feedback) so be careful and always use paypal! Just make sure it is a cs (common slot) and pay attention to efficiency (I look for platinum). I try to find 1200's for $30, 1500's $100 (parallel miner's 2400w is a better deal than the 1500).
