....but while two of the PSU's are cheapo ones, but I've cut all the molex connectors and directly wired them in. The wires don't even get warm. Maybe its a conflict, but why do they restart all the time? All 3 blades do it, and they are each on different PSU's... hmm.
I messed around with PC power supplies, found they had inconsistent behavior and were way too complex. Here is the solution, $27 delivered, gives 30A clean 12V, no other voltages, no hassles. The screw down block even has 3 screws for + and 3 screws for ground (labeled V-).
You get these babies, some 16 or 14 gauge stranded, use one power wire and one ground wire per blade.
I have three of these running 9 blades.

Spendulus, that is a great link!
I am definitely going to pick one up, However it will take several days to get to me, and we know what happens in a week in bitcoin! arg!
These units will definitely clean up the power, But I feel pretty confident some of my problems are not power related, I just brought in a new power supply, Its a 700W out of my triple GPU rig. Its a great unit and I plugged it into my 3rd blade (at 1.05V stock) and the blade is doing the exact same as the other two. It hashes at 50% speed on the pool. But shows no hashrate or accepted shares on the blade config page. Is that why it restarts? no accepted shares being reported back?
What the heck could it be?!
