Hi all - I'm hearing about some troubles people are having with overloaded power connectors.  Since the latest cards shipped were running a higher voltage, the rigs take quite a lot of wattage - extra caution should be taken if you are running a full 16 card rig.  I recommend upgrading to a 1200w power supply as soon as possible.  Do not locate your rig on the floor, or near anything flammable.  As always with mining rigs, check your power cables, connectors and supplies often for signs of overheating and failure.

Please be safe!

We are making changes for future boards that will either run them at lower voltage or provide additional power connections.

Cheers
Dave


[EDIT]  I'm told these users may have powered their rigs using the 1 to 2 plug on a single PCIe cable.  This is a common mistake I've been warning about.  Please note - you *must* use two separate power cables from the PSU to each of the 6-pin power plugs on the M-board.

Dave,

What is the status of refunds?

If anyone is also waiting on a refund from Dave please pm me.

Thanks,
