Anyways, I think focusing on the riserless mobos is better strategy moving forward. Save money on unreliable risers, better heat control and lessen OS compatibility issues.

Which begs the question, how is your progress with the Onda board? Grin

As always, thanks in advance for any updates Wink

I am out of town but cant wait to get back home to work on those boards.

I had limited testing on the board but looks like is working - but MingMining found some kinks on 1st and 2nd GPU slots -- I think there is a special setting on the BIOS to make it work.

I sent a unit to Philip too - I hope it reaches him soon. He can do a more detailed review.

waiting very patiently for it.

I prepped this psu.

I have

1x 24pin cable
1x cpu cable
5x pcie cables all 2 headed 8 pin
3x sata cables
3x molex cables

I finally setup a youtube account

3 films on the avalon 741

Do you think its appropriate to use a standard ATX PSU for the Onda board or will a server PSU along w a pico be the recommendation?

Tough call the onda needs six power inputs 3 sata and 3 molex. So first test will be with exactly that.

that atx psu has six separate cables.

3 sata 3 molex

it also has 5x 2 head pcie cables

and it can put out 1000 watts at the wall for months on end.

I am afraid to try a server with a pico until I test it with an atx.
once I do that I have adapters that go pcie to molex and pcie to sata.

I just had a cross wired pcie cable come from parallel miners. to be fair it would be 1 of 80 done wrong.

but if I use that pcie to a molex and power this board I think I go boom.

I want to be careful on the test build

[...]That is a 100 dollar camera on ebay does 1080p up to 9 minutes and 59 seconds. It is a Canon PowerShot ELPH 300hs

Yep. I love those little Canon Elphs. Still have a 15-year old ELPH 100 and bought a 110HS five years ago just because it does make great 1080p for a pocket toy PS camera. Guess it's time to upgrade again...

Speaking of upgrades. Here's what FedEx Santa just left at my door a few minutes ago.

It's a 66lbs box worth of eight 30A 250V PDUs. Eight C13 outlets per unit. Fully manageable. Switched and Metered per outlet. It even measures Power Factor per outlet. Top of the line model from BayTech: http://www.baytech.net/product/mmp-modular/.

Some IT recycling company from Texas has listed them as Baytec (with no h) and got no hits on ebay for $100 e.a. shipped. I talked them into selling them for $55 e.a. shipped in US. Best thing for you guys is that they still have two units left (while supplies last hehe): https://www.theitmart.com/category/power-supplies/39845/mmp101-baytec-mmp-8-outlets-8-x-iec-60320-c13-1u-horizontal-rackmount-pdu

And a quick peek inside.

I ordered one pdu 55 for that is good price. looks like I can turn it on and off
