Somebody PM'ed me asking for pics of how I soldered a second connector. Well, I don't have any but here is how it looks from the outside. Basically I bought PCI-e splitters from eBay and sacrificed them for the female receptacles. I used 14 AWG black and yellow wires and soldered those to the bottom of board under the location of the original connector.
Ok, so I ordered four AX1200i power supplies a while back when they were on offer; until I read this I was thinking I would buy one more and eventually have two cubes on each when (if) second neppy arrives.
Now I have to solder cables to each cube because KnC built these way, way, way over power spec for PCI-e six pin such that even the PSU has the intelligence not to allow that much power through one connector?
My question is, wouldn't it be better to make up some cables that go from two sockets on the PSU to one PCI-e rather than void my year of Neptune warranty? That and demand compensation from KnC for the woeful inadequacy in their design, obviously.
