Does anybody actually power this pod miner with a barrel jack PSU, instead of a plain computer PSU?

@sidehack: You have mentioned in the first post

Like previous Terminus models, the miner runs on 12V power from either a standard 2.1/5.5mm barrel jack (rated for 8A) or a PCIe 6-pin jack
So, is the PCIe rated for higher current or are both connectors rated the same? Is there any (other) downside one should be aware of when using the barrel jack?

Thanks for letting me know.
