Title: Server PSU in mining rig
Post by: phaddie on January 12, 2014, 08:50:07 PM
Hello,

  I have seen some posts about people using 240 server power supplies in their mining rigs.  I looked a few up online and the connection for components seem to be different.

  Is there a step I am missing here?

  Phad.

You have to make your own adapter for now. There are some people attempting to sell adapters but I haven't keep up on availability.

On my rigs I use 1 HP PSU and 1 750w PSU. The HP does 900w @ 120v and 1000w @240v which works well for 3 290's. All the parts were sourced from Mouser.

Hello I was wondering what are the part numbers for the power supply/connectors you used to make the pci-e connectors; additionally do u have the wiring diagram as well
