Each Neptune Cube uses a high-quality PCI-E connection and draws approximately 300 watts at its port

300 x 5= 2100? Huh

And did you see? The ports are fan-cooled!

These ports are fan-cooled and can handle the power, but make sure youre using high-quality PSU:s, connectors and cables. Be careful when inserting and removing connectors as wear and tear may damage connectors. The act of inserting/removing cable connectors into ports degrades connection surfaces every time its done and should be minimized.

That should really help the fires to grow quickly by feeding air directly to the hot spot. Tongue

Btw so the controller box will apparently draw a decent share of watts too...

500 watts? Lol. Have you ever touched the Jupiter controller board? Not even lukewarm. So it's probably using far less than 100 watts (wild guess). Now touch a VRM on an ASIC board. Scorching hot!
