The amount of power plugs (or barrels) which you can connect is directly determined by the amount of watt you have available. (Amount of watt you have) divided by (the amount of devices you want to power * the watt each requires). If the result is less than 1.00 then Bad. If over 1.00 then Good

Thanks, Ok so lets just say I have 1200watt available .. What I was asking is will 1 single 6PIN Pcie connector going into 10 Barrels -be sufficient for 10 v3modded grids? Since they are like 20-25watt each thats like 250watt max On a single 6PIN, .... I have a few here that came with my grids, 1 PCIE (6pin) going into 10 barrels, but this was created for unmodded pods which is why i am not sure if we can still plug 10 in if they are modded.

Single 6-pin PCI-E Connector is rated @ 75W ...12V power delivery...about 6.5 Amp = 3 OC gridseed...

Single 8-pin PCI-E Connector is rated @ 150W ...12V power delivery...about 13 Amp = 6 OC gridseed...

Hope it helps, buddy...

What I was stating is the STANDARD specs for 6- and 8-pin PCI-E connector...
Of course nobody is preventing you from trying to suck few more Amp out of them...over the rated specs...Like overclocking the CPU/GPU...at your own risk...they have some reserves...

Your question was how many Gridseeds to run of them... Wink

Maybe 5...and 10 max...but you are pushing it...

GPU is getting additional 75 W from the PCI-E slot 16x or 8x ...I did not mention that because Gridseeds don't use PCI-E slot or interface...

This is not invalidating the PCI-E specs above...

FYI...I used to run 5 GPU rigs...3 x 290x each...14MH total...just sold them last week at lost... Huh

I actually JUST --made ROI on mine + I now have a Quadfire 290x Build happening, and I have all MY top quality PSU's and motherboards laying around I will build my mate a good computer for $500 so this will put me more in front... If I sold all my setup I would be quite a good percentage over ROI----this is because I was able to source my Cards VERY cheap I actually sold some for the amount I bought them Tongue

... I had very similar to you in Hashwise, But I wanted the least possible $ spent with the least possible room taken.... Total 14 x 290x on 2 Rigs - 7 x 290x per Rig.. Yeh as that guys research makes so much more sense basically almost 400w for a 1 x 6PIN & 1 x 8PIN...

lets just say I was going to try it and there is not enough power, this will not cause my seeds to blow right? they just wont turn on or soemthing yeh?

If you exceed the specs...the wires/connectors are gong to get hot...eventually could melt ...and cause short or fire...do it @ your own risk, buddy... Wink

EDIT...: If the Gridseeds are starving for power...they could act the way they want...UNPREDICTABLE... I guess...
