Title: Zeusminer thunder x 3 WTF?
Post by: dyland on July 10, 2014, 02:45:10 AM
ok so I got my Thunder X3 today direct from zeusminer. I was about to rig the power up and noticed that the power hook ups are male inside the unit. Oh did I mention that they were inside the unit? Totally annoying to deal with besides the fact that they are male! What PSU MANUFACTURES FEMALE OUT??? I don't get it... Anyway no USB either. But rattling around inside was a Pi.

Anyone else have this issue?

I guess I have to try and find a female to female bridge for this now, well four of them that is...WTF Zeus?

Looks like it should have a PSU included,mounted in the rear,inside of the unit.You just need a standard PSU cable.

Edit: My bad,NO PSU included  ::)  Wow,good luck  :-[

If you need to make cable adapters,try:

Be sure to add the pins,not included unless you check the box  ::)

Show us a pic if you can,I'm curious about those connections  ;)

Too late tonight to run to the basement and take a pic, but there are dozens of people complaining about it I am finding... Google thunder x 3 male PSU

Anyway, it appears the quick fix is to hook up directly to the chassis of the PSU from the miner. I imagine I can do this with two of the below, which I have on hand, but I have to open it up and then take the LEPA 1200 gold I was going to use for this and switch it out with my two black widows' corsair rm 750s.

Don't suppose you could help confirm if that would work, or if I should be wary of any polarity issues?
