Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382
Could someone please advise, i use a corsair cx500 on current s1 and never a glitch, i notice that there are 2 spare molex 4 pin connectors on psu, i can buy adapter for these on ebay to convert molex to pci-e , so my question is would this work with the the s3 (total 12v output from psu is max 456w) for the two othe pci-e on the boards. Afterall its only another 30 watts more?
One S3 at clock speed can be safely run on your PSU. Molex to pci-e will do the job.
re the same: can one 4-pin molex power 6pin PCIe or you have to have two dual male 4-pin connectors converging on a single 6-pin PCIe?
I see that there are both types for sale on ebay.
It will be dual 4pin Molex to 6 pin PCIe, trying to shove that much power through 1 12v line will only end up in heat, fire, then tears.
Like this.
you mean that 4pin to 6pin adapter cannot handle 390/4=95.5W? There are 4 PCIE connectors per each S3 unit. There are 2 PCIe connectors and 2X4pin connectors per each CX500M.
