How do I connect the ATX 24pin  8 pin?

Are you trying to use that in a PC?  It looks like that may not work as that PSU seems to be designed specifically to power a miner with PCIe output only, but I'll let someone more familiar with that particular unit chime in.

no, he was burned. I want to put in a miner ATX chiftek 1200w.

Why does the miner need the 24pin ATX connector?

Looks to me like the original KB1150 power supply had a non-standard 8-pin connector that probably has a subset of the wires from an ATX 24-pin connector.

If the old KB1150 isn't totally dead, you might be able to tinker with the wires on the 8-pin connector using the ATX color code as a guide on what might be where. . If the KB1150 is truly dead, you might open it up and see what wires go to which pins on the 8-pin connector.

Is the manufacturer still around that supplied the KB1150? They might be able to supply pinout info.

if you are trying to use this psu above it is multiple rails


  ATX 12V 2.3/EPS 12V 2.91
Modular
80 PLUS Certified
100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz
+3.3V@30A,+5V@30A,       +12V1@20A,+12V2@20A, +12V3@25A,+12V4@25A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@6.0A


not easy to do so.


please show   us a photo of your gear.  

If you own the chiftek  add the 4 rails up they add to 90amps and are divided 4 ways

the burned psu is 95 amps on 1 rail

my guess is you will kill your replacement.


I also would love to see photos of the gear.  right where the burned psu plugs into it.

That psu is used in A2 Terminator 2.3 TH btc-miner (dragon clone).It has two of them.One psu powers 4 blades (actually only two pcb's with 2 pci-e connector each).8-pin connector is needed only from one psu,if I remember right.It obviously powers Rasp and miner's own controller.I would use server psu as a substitute if the other original psu still works.

Server PSU + Pico ATX adapter for the 24 pins connector are working for me (and with better efficiency than those stock power supplies)

Here is an example of pico ATX adapter. I didn't check quality/price of this particular one, it's just to show what I mean.

Now I don't get it.Where is this adapter needed in that miner?It doesn't have 8 pin connector nor pci-e connectors.

The pico ATX is used to power the backplane that holds the raspberry controller since 24pins isn't available on server power supplies
