Dogie, so in other words, suppose I was using an antminer S3 , which has two boards and 4 pci-e slots... You could power one board, with one PSU, and the other board, with a different one? However, you could NOT power the same board from two different PSU's? Not that anyone would ever configure it that way, but that would be when you'd need the Add2PSU?

y_boonstra, that's good information on wire gauge. I don't have anything in front of me at the moment, but the info is duly noted. Thanks.


To Unacceptable, in regards to the CX600's. Yeah, coincidentally, I'll be getting two CX600's in. To clarify my original post... I originally was running the S1 at normal clock 180 GH/s through a single 8-pin slot, with the two 6+2's the branch off. That was on the CX500m that only has that single 8-pin. THAT was when my wires were getting warm. And what I was wondering... If the CX600's two PCI-E wires, were coming from the same "link", so to speak. Like, to simulate, would they be coming from the same 8-pin? I think they were only getting hot, because they were BOTH coming from the same 8-pin slot, and I think I was overloading it..? Again, I'm not sure if that made sense.

But on the non-modular power supplies, that didn't seem to be a problem for you, which is good news. It's reassuring that I know they'll work fine. Were those overclocked Ants? Granted, if they're not getting hot at 360, I doubt they'll be screwed at 400 watts.
