Hey Guys, I'm having trouble getting my K16s to even start up. I'm using a standard ATX PSU (Corsair CX430) it should be a case of plugging it in and getting it running shouldn't it? Am I missing something really obvious here?

I find it hard to believe that everyone of my miners doesn't work, so I must be setting up my PSU wrong, which I didn't think was even possible.

Find the green wire on the 24pin ATX connector and use a paperclip (bare metal) and connect it to the black wire next to it to turn on your PSU.

Also, I found that 5 Klondike16's won't draw enough power at idle to make some powersupplies stay on (All non-haswell compatible PSU's for example) so adding a small load like hooking up an old harddrive to the PSU makes it stay on. Just thought I'd mention it if anybody has troubles with and old psu.

Cheers

Hook up 2 or 3 of them with a molex connector, so the fan is on, and then put a couple of more fans on the power supply. Power supplies need a minimum load to stay on.

Some power supplies need a bigger load than others. Haswell compliant ones barely need more than a few milliAmps (next to nothing) while older ones might need upwards of half an ampere load to stay on. I have an older OCZ 600W PSU that refused to stay on even while getting all 5 fans loaded on it, so had to connect an old harddrive to get it to go PowerGood Wink
