Thanks for pointing this out. Thats not a good thing. One would need special PSU's that have different 12A-Outputs since a high wattage PSU with only 1 or 2 such channels used with Y-cables would hurt the miners when i understand it correctly.
Its a good thing i didnt buy more psu's yet but others might have bought wrong ones. Or is there a workaround for this?
You don't need special power supplies. As I understand it we need to do one of two things:
- EITHER: Power each miner via its PCI-E connector, just like you do with most other miners. How you do this doesn't matter, as long as you don't overload your PSU or cables
- OR: Connect your miners together in pairs, using the screw connectors and the solid-core wires that burnin specifies, and then power each pair of miners through the PCI-E connector of one miner in the pair
What you
must not do is connect larger groups together using the screw connectors, in an attempt to power three or more miners all from power fed to one of the PCI-E connectors. Either connect them in pairs, or just ignore the screw connectors and power each miner via its PCI-E connector.
If in any doubt at all, just ignore the screw connectors.
Corrections welcome if I've misunderstood anything.
