Title: Antminer S4 PSU for Antminer S5 Post by: blindminer on April 13, 2016, 03:46:09 PM Hi,
I have one psu from my broken s4 and want to use it to run two s5. But cables are different and i don't know how to change them to 4 pin. Anyone can help me? Thanks, http://up.trolls.ir/uploads/146056233413541.jpg http://up.trolls.ir/uploads/146056233417322.jpg Title: Re: Antminer S4 PSU for Antminer S5 Post by: VirosaGITS on April 14, 2016, 12:22:49 AM You will probably need to rewire and split to make PCI-e ends. Or you could jury rig the +V to the +V on the connectors. It would work but its not something i would do. Maybe you could find some kind of breakout board that you could connect all the + to one bolt and all the ground to the other and then connect PCI-e cables on it.

I think the best solution as you mentioned is rewire the psu.

This is just psu. chains are broken.Also i can run 2 s5 with this psu and get about 2.2TH !

I'll do this.Title: Re: Antminer S4 PSU for Antminer S5 Post by: sidehack on April 14, 2016, 01:53:02 PM If I were doing it and wanted something nondestructive, it wouldn't be too hard to crimp a 6-pin into a ring terminal, then use short bolts to lock 'em onto your PSU cables and tape the connections.

Yeah its definitively not. Its for the DSP-800 as per title name.
