Title: Simple question... Power cords. Post by: TTravis on March 17, 2015, 02:04:07 PM I just bought 3 antminer s3's and a 1300 watt evga supernova power supply as several different items on ebay. These items are starting to arrive but the power cords I bought turned out to be not correct.
I would appreciate if someone would reply with a link to an amazon.com or ebay item what would be the correct vga power cable I need. Thanks in advance..... Tom Title: Re: Simple question...

The power supply? Isn't it standard AC computer power cord: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201007&cm_re=ac_power_cord-_-12-201-007-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119266&cm_re=ac_power_cord-_-12-119-266-_-Product http://www.ledseq.com/downloads/acCableUS.jpg If you're referring to needing more video power connectors for the 1300 watt EVGA PSU, than these are a little pricey, but contain the whole set: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812527004 Part number is: 100-CR-1300-B9 http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/12-527-004-10.jpg Title: Re: Simple question...

I bought some of the "mini" version. Can these be bought individually for less money?

Post by: TTravis on March 17, 2015, 03:42:32 PM Close, but I don't want it to be a splitter because they will be carrying 200w of power each.
I think I am looking for a 6Pin to 8Pin PCI Express cable about 8 inches long. I need 6 of them. Title: Re: Simple question... Power cords.

Startech? http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Express-Power-Adapter-PCIEX68ADAP/dp/B001TK3TJY I've used these on Antminers S1s in the past. They're over 8 inches long and work really well. Title: Re: Simple question... Power cords. Post by: notlist3d on March 17, 2015, 03:50:24 PM Have you tried contacting EVGA? It sounds like you just need the PCI-e cords that come with it.
Title: Re: Simple question... Power cords. Post by: TTravis on March 17, 2015, 04:01:21 PM This is close, but I think it is wrong sex on 6 pin end. Looking at the S1, I can see how this would work, but the S3 needs 6 pin male connector that goes in the top.

Power cords. Post by: TTravis on March 17, 2015, 05:13:34 PM Will one be sufficient to power both sides (blades) of the s3, or do I need to order 2 for each S3 for a total of 6?
I appreciate your help and am anxious to get into bitcoin mining with these. Tom Travis Title: Re: Simple question... Power cords.
