nice soldering job n wire management Smiley yep no burnt pcie connectors for you...now ya just gotta figure out how to oc above 500mhz n yer golden...shouldn't take you too long thou Smiley

Thx, It works well.

The other end of the 12AWG wires

2kW x 2 load sharing on a single rail.
Runs on 1 in a pinch but at the limit and down to only 89% efficiency.
I got space and more PSU for other Nep but will replicate 2kW x 2.
8kW single rail and I don't need to meet personally at my home.

It has a jacuzzi. (top center)

Also note (lower right) easy access for small children to experience 120VAC firsthand.
Not TOO easy though, short ones must use available step stool.

And a heated outdoor patio. (or garage)

The business end of the loop running during construction.

I constructed a pentagon and recited the verse and all that appeared was an empty V8 bottle.

I might flip the PCB so WB are inside of pentagon with straight barbs for smaller footprint.

I usually refrain from prototype pics, but this prototype is less ugly than most of my monstrosities.
I hope to approach the 'pair of WC Saturns complete with PSUs in one case' level of fit and finish.

YMMV

Wow.. I'm inspired to pull out my soldering iron! I'm definitely going to implement the terminal blocks, I've got way too much heat coming off of my power leads, even with a box fan. It's just asking for trouble.

Really great job!

I recommend leaving the WBs facing out. If you do get a failure, facing out should reduce the chance of fluid reaching the other boards.
