Re: Where can I get cheap PSU to run miners? I need 1500-1700 watts total.

So, I see how you would use the quick-disconnects to connect up the positive and negative leads to power the miner. But how would you connect the pins to jump the power supply? without soldering.

i bought a few packs of these female jumper wire from glorius china Smiley
so i just cut them in half, put 3 onto the pins in question and tape the leads together with electrical tape.
at 1.5$ for enough connectors to do 25 psus its almost free.

Which three pins? Just 1 from each row tied together?

Thanks,

here is the "how to" for many server PSU, including the HP DL580 G3 that is on the first page.

Finally finished drilling 117 holes.
Now, I know why I do prefer prototyping SMT boards.
Components placed, I'll solder and test tomorrow.
I'll have some pics too.

Fantastic !! - That link gives the instructions plus the close up pictures of the rear terminals. I thought they
looked too weird/hazy to be standard lugs that all the other sites show in their low quality small images. So unless you have the board
you really do need to solder as I don't see how female quick disconnect's would stay on. Even male
spades would probably not work unless you made something to hold them in which I guess is what
the proper plug that everyone is out of stock off does.

Thanks,
