could also just solder another female pcie connector on the bottom couldn't ya? idk anything bout that thou
Good idea!
Just watch out for mechanical strain on added connectors as they may only be held in place by solder.
I plan to solder ALL power wires directly to the PCB.
Connectors are a potential point of failure.
12 connectors per PCIe power cable on a modular PSU
(modular sux for performance and safety on power hungry miners)
I have 2 consumer PSU's that have smoked connectors from my Oct. adventures.
This is what happens when ANY one of the pins of a connector fails, the neighbors have to take up the slack.
The 18 gauge wire on consumer PSUs is not up to the task.
YMMV
