Title: Can this power supply power the Rockminer? Post by: h4344 on July 13, 2014, 12:29:23 AM Im looking to buy possible 2 Rockminers to mine bitcoins 24/7. The one part that im wondering about is the power supply. It seems that everyone uses a BlackArrow power adapter connected to a PSU then they use the 2.5mm barrel jack to power the device. I don't see the difference between that method and simply using this power cable.
The power supply im looking at http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Power-Supply-LCD-Monitor/dp/B003TUMDWG/ref=pd_sim_op_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JXRQGJFNZZSJ9H35RG9 The Rockminer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLQHSM6/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= Another quick question if anyone is familiar with these miners, do i still need to find that special driver online (i forgot the name) or will the device install it after i connect the USB cable? (If for some reason this double posts im sorry, was having some issues). Title: Re: Can this power supply power the Rockminer?

(If for some reason this double posts im sorry, was having some issues). that power supply could work the problem is it burns power like a mother fucker. also it may not be 2.5mm on the inside. this guy here on bitcointalk makes cables cablez https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74397.0 he should be able to make a custom cable for you that snaps into a psu. your pc has a psu? |
