Does anyone know how many Gridseed Miners I can put on a Molex/SATA/PCIE cable from a standard ATX power supply? I am running only scrypt mode around 10w each miner. I can't stand how loud the cheap switching power supply I have is and want to use a quieter power supply. I have 10 miners right now pushing 100watts. I have a spare PSU lying around with molex/sata/pcie conncections I can cut up. Thanks!

I had an old 1000w PSU laying around, so I just cut the PCIe cables and wired them in. I have 20 running now. Wired 7 each to 2 of the cables and 6 on 1.

I have 40 wired into a single Dell 750W server power supply.
(should be 50 tonight)

How many are wired to each PCIE/Molex, etc? I don't want to overload a single cable.

You need the 12v line from each. Running scrypt only, you can probably get away with 10 on each 6 pin PCIe, molex I am not sure about.
