WARNING! ONLY PLUG IN A 6 PIN PCIe CONNECTOR! DO NOT PLUG IN ALL 8 PINS!

The connectors on the ASICs are wired incorrectly. The additional 2 pins are supposed to both be ground but they wired one of them to +12V. This creates a short. My PSU detected the short and refused to turn on. Hopefully all PSUs do this. If they don't you will probably melt the connector and possibly start a fire.
