For the PCI-e cables; What's the MINIMUM AWG cable I have to use for the S3 using only 1 PCI-e connector per blade ?
I know Sidehack uses AWG16 for his cables. Would a AWG18 also work ?

On the other hand, Gigampz sells 24" PCI-e cables with AWG18 ....

use the cables that comes with Corsair if you have it (I believe that they are 18AWG), they get a little worm when OC to 237.5 (42C).
If you need splitters to split a single to two, I used Startech (they are also 18AWG).

I have the 2000 watt ibm psu here and ordered one of the breakout boards.
Thats why I need some cable to it. I will try with awg18 and see, how warm they get.

Thanks for you help
