Title: XFX 1250W - Paper clip trick? Post by: cryptotore on May 08, 2017, 10:25:51 AM Hi,
I'm having problems with a XFX 1250W PSU. I can't get it to power on with the "paper clip trick" when I only draw power on the 12v PCIe connectors. I remember reading about that some PSUs need to draw power on the 5v rails to actually deliver power? It works fine if I use a add2psu adapter. I want to use it to power my baikal miners! :) Tips?

Then psu switch or paperclip trick on psu switched on Title: Re: XFX 1250W - Paper clip trick? Post by: revelacaogr on May 09, 2017, 01:03:15 PM xfx 1250w extra cables (( unexpected ))
Before one month i made a ticket in xfx support site and i told them if they can send me 2-3 more molex arrays because im using this psu for mining and the sata cables become too hot. They answered after 1 hour and told me that they can send me more molex arrays! 3 days ago they send me an email to say that they sended the items(( and excuse for the delay because they send the items from hong kong)) Today i received a big packade (( FEDEX EXPRESS ))not only with 2-3 molex arrays but with 20 DEFFERENT SETS OF CABLES (( ALL TYPES )) FOR 1250 PSU! IT WAS UNEXPECTED! For me ,that was a present from XFX. A BIG SERPRISE! A BIG THANK U FROM ME TO XFX FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE AND FOR THE GREAT SERVICE! |
