Because I was using CX600M, which has only one PCI-E connector I had to use the old style connector on the other board with one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10X-8-Pin-Male-to-8-Pin-Female-Power-Supply-Adapter-Extension-Cable-For-Computer-/360808438711?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160
I cut one end of the extension cable and plugged all 8 cables in with 1 hole having double cables as per this image.
I was inside the web interface trying to make the miner work for like 10 minutes and then when I managed and it sttarted mining I got the smell coming from the other room: it happened very quickly.
So now I don't know if the problem is in the extension cable or the miner. The bad thing is the extension cable burned the data cable of the miner, so it might not work even though I was working with the web interface seconds before I switched it off:
Any ideas what kind is that white flat cable? is it easily replaceable?
Also does the 8 pin extension cable look good enough?
