> 600 GH oc capabilities? Is that what I picked up from the hints?
You will need some modifications then. The four pcie connectors can deliver 150w x 4 for a total of max 600w. A standard 4pin molex can deliver 132w per atx specifications. If you rely on the rumored 1.4w/GH, that would give your miner a maximum theoretical of 732w/1.4w = 522.85 GH. If you want more, you´re going to have to solder some extra 8pin pcie connectors in there somewhere.
Something about this doesn't make sense. Why would KnC cap their ability to 600w? Back when they knew their chip was at least 100GH and the assumed rate was 1.6w per gh, that would be 640w needed for four chips.
KnC isn't dumb, before they ship I'm sure they will use 8-pin connectors if they need them.
They didn't. The power circuitry can handle substantially more, the 6-pin pcie connector rating is *worst case spec*, which doesn't mean that connector manufacturers can't exceed the spec. There's also an unpopulated spot for another 6-pin connector on the PC board.
