Title: Server PSU-powered GPU rig packages! Pico's, Risers, adapter cables, etc.
Post by: Finksy on April 11, 2017, 03:14:06 AM
I am happy to FINALLY introduce as promised some standalone adapter packages for powering GPU rigs strictly by server PSU’s.  These can be used both with my current server PSU packages found here:

IBM 2880W/2980W PSU’s to power 2-3 full rigs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=966135.0)
DPS-4kW dual DPS-2000BB PSU’s to power up to 4 full rigs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1308296)

Or with any other server PSU with PCIe cables.  Because every GPU rig and every PSU setup is different, packages can be customized on request, these are just some convenient packages that can be combined with my or other server PSU’s.

6-GPU Rig package for RX or similar GPU’s

http://i65.tinypic.com/28lyh3s.jpg

1x 160W Pico PSU 24pin ATX adapter
6x 6-pin PCIe powered USB risers
1x 30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU
6x 6+2pin PCIe splitters
4x 24” PCIe cables
2x 36" PCIe cables

7-GPU Rig package for RX or similar GPU’s

1x 160W Pico PSU 24pin ATX adapter
7x 6-pin PCIe powered USB risers
1x 30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU
7x 6+2pin PCIe splitters
5x 24” PCIe cables
2x 36" PCIe cables

6-GPU Rig package for R9 390 or similar dual-plug GPU’s

6x 6-pin PCIe powered USB risers
1x 30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU
9x 6+2pin PCIe splitters
5x 24” PCIe cables
4x 36" PCIe cables

Add bare IBM 2880W PSU (Board, PSU, C19 cable) for $150   -- Can power 2-3 rigs
Add bare DPS-2980W Platinum PSU (Board, PSU, C19 cable) for $180    -- Can power 2-3 rigs
Add bare DPS-4Kw PSU (Board, 2x DPS-2000BB, 2x C19 cable, 2x fans, mounting hardware) for $215   -- Can power 3-4 rigs Trying to source PSU's for these now.

All prices are in USD.

These packages are just examples of how to setup rigs using server PSU’s, and have 10% discounted for package deals (any purchases $90+ will qualify for 10% package discount).  Each setup will be different, so feel free to PM me about your needs. When comparing prices vs ATX PSU’s, please also keep in mind that these packages include the risers as well the other components.

Please contact me for volume purchasing. I work closely with many data centres, and can help procure or consult on build layouts including PSU's.

Pictures to come very shortly!!!

Individual pricing

160W Pico PSU 24pin ATX adapter  -  $25 each
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/ttrot17/Mobile%20Uploads/4797FF44-FFAF-486D-8FB8-009D48C0D627_zps45qepwcl.jpg~original

6-pin PCIe powered risers   - $9 each
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/ttrot17/Mobile%20Uploads/60C4B502-6722-44BB-AD17-02DFE22F5A8D_zpslms29lnk.jpg~original
 
SATA/molex powered USB risers (ver 6) - $8 each

30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU (shown WITH Pico PSU connected, not included) - $6
http://i64.tinypic.com/4pxbtj.jpg

6+2pin PCIe splitters   $3.00
http://i63.tinypic.com/2wqenmw.jpg

24” PCIe cables  $2.50

32” PCIe cables  $3.50 - No longer available

36" high quality 16awg PCIe cables made in USA $4.50

In creating these packages, I decided to go with the PCIe to EPS adapter cable assembly instead of relying on supplying all motherboard power directly from Pico.  This was done for a couple reasons.  Instead of having to rely on the rated power of Pico PSU’s to provide 12V to rigs as well as 3.3V and 5V (or otherwise having to custom order special Pico’s built for higher power ratings to ensure reliability), and given that they already require 1 PCIe connector from a breakout board to power the Pico without relying on AC bricks, I figured why not take advantage of the reliable 12V power from the server PSU instead of depdending on the build quality/rating of Pico.  That being said, these Pico’s appear to be at least as well constructed as any of the standard off-the-shelf Pico’s I’ve seen on the market.  If you do decide to use the 4-pin ATX connector that is wired into the Pico, I do not foresee any problems whatsoever, especially with the low-power GPU rigs tend to be built with.  BUT, since the additional cable was not too expensive anyways, doesn’t require any more PCIe connectors, and guarantees reliable 12V directly to motherboard and thus only relies on Pico to drive 3.3 and 5V circuits as well as SSD and molex connector for example for ASrock motherboards aux power, I feel it’s better to over-build than not.

Also note, these packages were designed with larger server PSU’s in mind such as the IBM 2880W and DPS-4Kw that I offer.  That is why the cables tend to be on the long side.  This allows you to power 4x rigs by a single DPS-4kW PSU or 2-3 rigs from an IBM 2880/2980W PSU if you choose to go that route.  I will be working on some packages with shorter cables designed for individual PSU’s in the near future, but one step at a time :)

Shipping

Shipping will be calculated individually, to make sure you are getting the best rate.  All prices are in USD. I am willing to accept escrow through OGNasty, and can also do Paypal but buyer will be responsible for covering costs of either services (4% added to paypal, OG charges 1% for escrow).

Each package of PSU, breakout board & 10x PCI cables is approximately 16 lbs.

The BTC address for all non-escrow breakout board orders is here: 1GWQYCv22cAikgTgT1zFuAmsJ9fFqq9TXf
I will not PM you asking for payments to any other address, so beware of F1nksy, Fink5y, or whatever scammy names might pop up.   ;)

The package you quoted does not include a PSU, it only includes risers, cables, adapters and Pico PSU (24-pin ATX adapter) to run rig.  You would need a PSU on top of that, you can find PSU's linked in my signature and at the top of the post.  The IBM 2880/2980W PSU's can power 2-3 rigs, and the DPS-4KW packages can run up to 4 rigs.

This is a very nice addition to the products you already offer. Any plan to also go into the PDU direction? This would make your shop a one stop for all power needs. I may also be interested about the DPS-2500BB PSU any opinion on these? I like that trey are more efficient and also provide slightly more power.

Btw the project we discuss about is now only a few week ahead.

I need a few Pico PSU. My motherboard require an 8 Pinn connectors. Not sure if it comes with the 8 Pins by default.

The H81 Pro BTC is 8 PIN and i didn't receive my Biostar TB85 but it looks like an 4 Pins.

EDIT: Do we absolutely need an external power supply for the Pico ? I'm sure I understand the PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU correctly

Thanks

@Finksy – Sent you a PM, please take a look at it when you get a chance.

I’ve posted my question publicly, since I have a feeling it might be a common one.  For the graphics cards that require an 8-pin PCIe connector (most of the non-reference cards or for example the popular Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480), what is the safest and cost effective methodology to attach these to your PSU breakout boards?  Is it safe to only populate 6 of the 8 pins on the graphics card itself or is that a potential fire hazard?  I know they sell an adapter, some cards even come with it, that combines 2 x 6-pin PCIe female connectors to a single 8-pin male connector, but that solution seems overkill to me.

Edit: I may have answered my own question.  In the kits, can you post a picture or describe the 6+2pin PCIe splitters?  Does this take a single 6-pin PCIe female connector in and split to two 6+2 pin PCIe male connectors?  If that’s the case, is it safe to power two RX-480 graphics cards from a single 6-pin PCIe connector.  Not sure what the power consumption is through the 8-pin PCIe port because I know that some of the power comes from the riser itself.

Myffas,

I have not used the DPS-2500BB PSU's, but the 4K boards are more than capable of handling the extra wattage.  The higher efficiency is also a good selling point.

I do have PDU's, if you look in either my IBM 2880W or DPS-4kW PSU threads you will see that I carry both 30A (24 continuous) and 50A (40A continuous) PDU's.  I also have some packages including PDU's for multiple PSU setups.  PM me when you're ready to talk about that project, I'll give you my number and on peut parler. :)

@Finsky - Sent a PM please take a look at  :)

Replying to everyone as quickly as I can, thank you for your patience!

Herb,

I've now posted pictures to better understand the setup.  The Pico PSU's come with a 4-pin ATX connector on them, but I'm of the opinion that there's no point in drawing extra 12V wattage through the Pico PSU when we have a more reliable source as it is -6-pin PCIe cables from breakout board- and it doesn't require any more slots.  So that's why I include a 6-pin PCIe to 8-pin EPS patch cable together to power the motherboard directly.  For the Biostar's you can just use the 4-pin ATX connector on the Pico and use the extra PCIe connector for something else low-wattage like a riser, there's no harm in doing so.  Here is how the Pico PSU looks connected to a motherboard (powered by 1 PCIe connector from motherboard):

super,

The package includes 6+2pin PCIe splitters.  There are now pictures to show them up top, should help to clarify.  They take a 6-pin PCIe cable in and split to 2x 8-pin PCIe connectors for GPU's.  For the RX series GPU's this is safe, as the wattage drawn through the PCIe connectors on the 470/480 cards is only about 80-90 watts MAX in general.  The PCIe cables are 16awg, and can handle upwards of 250W without problem.  Hope that answers your question!

@Finksy, thanks for the quick response and yes that did answer my question.  After I posed the original question, I somewhat figured that was what the 6+2 pin PCIe splitter was going to be used for, but the picture and description really did clarify things.  This is going to be an amazing cost effective and efficient solution for powering GPU rigs.

Finksy, any special packages for people that only have 110/120v? All those PSU I see requires like 220/240v.

Another PSU i know is HP DPS-1200FB, but that has only a rated 900w on 110/120v and understand that it can handle higher watts, but prefer not to put max load on it if my rig consumes almost 1000watts.

Any other solutions?

The PSU's I offer only work on 200+V, yes.  Unfortunately I do not carry any PSU's that work on 110/120V, but there are many people on the forums that do.  Feel free to hit up sidehack (unless he's too busy with his plethora of projects), HolyScott on here (holybitcoin.com) also carries some common slot and similar 120V PSU's that will work just fine with these GPU packages.  All you need is a PSU with PCIe connectors on it to take advantage of the components in these GPU packages.

Hey, i've sent you a pm about some gpu risers, if you haven't received them i wanted to ask about the price + shipping for 10 risers to 11413

PM'd back

What are the advantages to getting these cables?

Cost savings vs having to purchase 1000+W ATX Power supplies with adequate cables to power GPU rigs such as these.  For example, to power a rig with 6x R9 390 GPU's, you would need something like the EVGA 1600 G2 to match the DPS-4K/IBM 2880W in efficiency or an EVGA 1600 T2 to match the IBM 2980W in efficiency.  The 2880/2980W PSU's could power 2 of these rigs (or 3x RX series rigs) without problem, the DPS-4K could power 3 of the 390 rigs (4x RX series rigs) without problem.  Comes down to $$$, efficiency, reliability, modularity, etc.  Also, with the PSU's I offer, you have the breakout board, cables & components.  And, if you ever do happen to have a PSU failure, you only need to purchase the PSU itself, which doesn't make up that significant of a portion of the cost in total. But as everyone is aware, server PSU's are more reliable, and stable as far as voltage to the plug in comparison to the average ATX PSU.

I am getting around to replying to all PM's, so thank you for your patience.  Has been a very busy weekend.  I have updated the packages to now include a couple 36" PCIe cables with each package to help reach the furthest GPU's.  Price has been updated to reflect the slightly more expensive cables. 

I am just finishing replying to the last few PM's.  If I have not replied to your PM for quotation or questions in the next hour or two, please feel free to send me another PM and I apologize for the oversight.  PM inbox has been flooded.

Any of you guys, can a 4k PSU (30x6pins) take 21 gpus? (3 rigs of 7 GPUs)?

7x6pins for the GPUs, risers have a 6 pins splitters so they need 3.5 (4x6pins) and the PICO adapter 1x6pins, this makes 12 6pins for a rig, so 36 for the whole setup, 6x6pins over...

Am i right?

For anyone wondering these setups are fantastic.  I'm currently running 35 GPUs in 5 rigs solely off of Finksy's 4kW server PSU bundles.  The build quality on everything is high so I'm not worried about cheap adapters overheating, the cabling is cleaner and the overall price is lower.  Can't ask for much more than that trifecta.

doubt it average GPU uses around 200watts x21 youd be at 4200watt (without knowing what gpu your using its had to tell) to get best life and preformance you after a max of 75% PSU capacity so around 3500 watt to be safe

Got some components back in stock, taking orders again.  Full re-stock in about 2 weeks still, but will fill orders as I can and let you all know when I'm out. 

Note: I have been receiving a LOT of PM's in the past weeks.  If you want faster  service and order turnaround time, just PM me with your address with zip/postal code, components or packages you want.  I have no problem taking the time to answer questions about setup and give advice, just understand that it may take longer to get around to answering those PM's vs those with specific orders in mind already.  Alternatively, feel free to post questions or look for advice in this thread, I am more than happy to share answers with everyone if it helps save time, and I'm sure others would have no problem chiming in.  Cheers guys,

Finksy

Can the GPU and associated riser be powered from a single PCI-E lead off the PSU, with a splitter at the end?  Or do you need to run an independent PCI-E cable for the riser?  My GPUs would be power limited to 125W which should be within the rating for the 16AWG cable.

Thanks.

Thanks.

The splitter cables and single 16awg PCIe cable are more than sufficient to power a single riser and GPU together, that is the way these packages are designed to be setup.  The PCIe cables are rated and have been tested to over 250W, and the splitters are made of 18awg cable for each circuit, so there are no concerns about power draw from GPU's at this time.

Great to hear.  Is the splitter long enough to go from the riser to the top of the GPU (GTX 1070), as opposed to the back (Sapphire RX4/5xx)?  Or do I need to specify when ordered to get the correct length?

Any chance of a picture of this setup plugged into the GPU and riser?  I just want to see how things layout so I can fit it into my rig design.

This is what the 6+2pin PCIe splitters accomplish, they take a standard 6-pin PCIe cable and turn it into 2x 6+2pin PCIe cables for powering GPU's.

@Finksy

Just want to let you know that I received your package today and also to inform you that your 6pin PCIE cables are color coded wrong. The black wires are suppose to be on the clip side, and the yellow wires are suppose to be on the bottom side.

The one you sent me has yellow wires on the clip side, and black wires on the bottom side.

It still functions the same, but the wrong color wires might be confusing if attaching splitters since it appears to mix-matching.

Yep. You want the power pins on the same side and then flip one of the PSUs over so you have onepower connector at the top and one at the bottom. Hope that makes sense lol

Is there some trick to getting these Pico PSUs to power on the motherboard that I'm just not seeing?  I have plugged the Pico PSU into the 24 pin connector on the mobo.  Plugged the EPS pigtail into the CPU EPS connector on the mobo.  Then plugged the 6 pin cable and barrel adapters together and plugged that into my server PSU's breakout board.  I get a blue light on the Pico PSU so it appears to be getting power properly... but when I hit the power button on my rig, nothing happens.  If I unplug the barrel adapter and plug it back in, I see the CPU fan spin for a second.  This is the same behavior you will see if you are using a regular ATX PSU and you pull and re-plug the power cable on it.  So it seems like everything should be connected properly... but it just won't power on.  If I remove the Pico PSU, and plug in a spare ATX PSU to the same 24 pin/EPS connectors, everything powers up just fine.  So, I know there is nothing else configured incorrectly.  My server PSU powers my GPUS just fine, so I know the server PSU  and breakout board works fine.


Also, Finsky... I sent you a couple of PMs about my previous order a few weeks ago.  I know you have been recovering from your disaster, so I've been patiently waiting, but if you could at least acknowledge that you got the PMs and what the plan is for fulfilling that order, I'd be grateful.

i had a similar problem, but this was because of my impatience, i was still trying to power my main gpu, the one on the pcie16x (usb riser part ) from a different psu and it didn't like that at all. and was causing the same symptoms you have now.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried running nothing but the mobo with the Pico PSU that is directly connected to the server PSU and breakout adapter.  I've connected no GPUs or risers to the server PSU and the Pico PSU still will not allow me to turn on the mobo.

the only thing i can think of to try in this case is plug the pico ( 4pin ) to the motherboard cpu instead of the EPS in case the cable it was bladly made and you not getting power to the cpu. you can plug the 4 pin in one side of the 8 pin no prob.

still trying to sort out these server PSU's. I see on eBay that there are a bunch of used, "server pulls," aka seller refurbished. There are some that are listed as DPS-1200fb-1, I suspect that's the one that we want? What about the DPS-1200SB-A?


thank

Anyone have recommendations for a PSU to power a single antminer L3+?

Shot you a PM Finksy

Is there some trick to getting these Pico PSUs to power on the motherboard that I'm just not seeing?  I have plugged the Pico PSU into the 24 pin connector on the mobo.  Plugged the EPS pigtail into the CPU EPS connector on the mobo.  Then plugged the 6 pin cable and barrel adapters together and plugged that into my server PSU's breakout board.  I get a blue light on the Pico PSU so it appears to be getting power properly... but when I hit the power button on my rig, nothing happens.  If I unplug the barrel adapter and plug it back in, I see the CPU fan spin for a second.  This is the same behavior you will see if you are using a regular ATX PSU and you pull and re-plug the power cable on it.  So it seems like everything should be connected properly... but it just won't power on.  If I remove the Pico PSU, and plug in a spare ATX PSU to the same 24 pin/EPS connectors, everything powers up just fine.  So, I know there is nothing else configured incorrectly.  My server PSU powers my GPUS just fine, so I know the server PSU  and breakout board works fine.


Also, Finsky... I sent you a couple of PMs about my previous order a few weeks ago.  I know you have been recovering from your disaster, so I've been patiently waiting, but if you could at least acknowledge that you got the PMs and what the plan is for fulfilling that order, I'd be grateful.



The way i did it was make my own cable till the 30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU (shown WITH Pico PSU connected, not included) - $6

are in stock ... is take one of these https://centrix-intl.com/details.asp?Parent2ID=1&productid=13186 and found a cheap in stock 10 pack of these on sell on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G0Q4422/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked but i see the 30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU are in stock now, but I see he not taking orders yet . so i have to wait and do what I came up with till then and can use my 1200 and 2400 watt server PSU, while i /we wait ....

Is there something I can wire so that if I have to power cycle my mining rig that has a standard atx evga psu for the motherbboard as well as an hp1200 server psu to turn on the server psu with the atx? Right now if i power cycle, the server psu doesn't turn on and the system won't boot properly. I have to shut it down and manually push the button on the breakout board to turn the server psu on. I know their are pico adapters. My question is, is there something that allows me to use both and turn on both at the same time.

one of these break out boards does but I'm still trying to figure out how to power off everything when i do remote shut downs, i know you can some do it but they won't tell me how i have asked even offered to pay for the tip , sooner or later I'll get it .

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DPS1200FB-power-supply-breakout-board-adapter-GPU-miner-remote-on-12V-Ethereum-/302387593983?

I don't know what wire i need to run it from the four pin header on the break out board to the Pico's powering the motherboard that will tell it to shut down everything. I think Finksy makes that cable but right now, like he said hes not able to do any orders ..

Same here, looking for all connectors required for an IBM 2880W PSU to power a few GPU rigs with motherboard, 12v CPU, fans, and Solid state drive. I have the PSU and the PCIe breakout boards. Any suggestions where to buy in US?




Apologies everyone, but for the time being I am not accepting any orders.  I am not able to provide an appropriate level of service at this time, and cannot commit to reasonable timeframes. I will update in a few weeks once I get caught up.

Good luck with getting caught up Finksy.

Does anyone know where else you can buy this;

1. You get an adaptor cable made to suit. I used a 6pin to 8pin eps cable with a pigtail coming out of the 6pin end to power the pico.

2. Buy a 6pin to molex adaptor/splitter and run the fans directly from the psu, not the pico.

Thx for yourreply gt_addict.  Unfortunately i cant find both of these cables online so i guess im searching for the wrong keywords. Could you please share some ebay/amazon/aliexpress links?  Tyvm

Has anyone seen these ready made cables with 4/8 pin EPS, PCIe 6pin, and barrel connector for pico ATX anywhere?

Is Finksy still selling these? I don't see anything anywhere saying how to order this stuff from Finksy.

I have just had the same issue.

I uplugged working rig to add some new cards, plugged it all back in and fan spun on MB for a second then nothing.
So after pulling my hair out I realized the Pico had gone!

It’s outputting the 3v, but no 12v.

Hours wasted.

These Pico’s do not seem very robust.

Happen to got that PCIE to EPS/PicoPSU adapter so that Mobo EPS 4/8pin is also taken from the PCIE instead of going through picopsu?

That tiny connector probably cannot handle all the power i need to put through it (not low wattage CPUs and those CPUs are utilized at ~90%)

Genesis mining for example does this.

30” PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU WITH Pico PSU connected

Hi Finsky,
Are you still selling both these parts? I’m looking at upgrading to a 2000w server psu, https://f2rq3.app.[Suspicious link removed]?link=https://m.alibaba.com/product/60730934619/high-quality-100-new-2000w-AntMiner.html&apn=com.alibaba.intl.android.apps.poseidon&ibi=com.alibaba.sourcing&isi=503451073&amv=69, for my rig. It’s a ASRock H81 BTC (1150 socket) with Gigabyte Aorus 1080 ti cards. Based on what I’m seeing this would work as a complete power setup for me. Is that correct? I hope you’re accepting orders, I did just create my account. Let me know what you need from me so you’ll sell to me.
