Title: KNCMiner Cube PCI-e slot Burnt Replacement Repair Post by: yuriygeorge on October 01, 2015, 07:09:02 PM Hello,
A couple cubes got burnt up/melted and don't work. I'm guessing I can just replace that pci-e connector on the cube. Anybody run into this? Does anyone know how to go about this? What parts do I need to purchase? I know someone who can solder this stuff on, but part do I need to purchase. Would be much appreciated. 90 degrees pci-e 6-pin male connector? https://i.imgur.com/CFZDAZ9.jpg Title: Re: KNCMiner Cube PCI-e slot Burnt Replacement Repair Post by: Tupsu on October 01, 2015, 07:36:27 PM Buy Block erupter cube ASIC 38gh/s miner and you get two compatible PCI-E sockets.

I think, that connectors from Asicminer Cube are not rated at 13A per contact...

This is true, I couldn't get the solder on my cube to liquify. I ended up just scraping off the melted plastic and calling it a day.

Maybe, but I suppose, that with KNC Y splitter it does not matter...Title: Re: KNCMiner Cube PCI-e slot Burnt Replacement Repair Post by: Tupsu on October 01, 2015, 11:02:32 PM Buy Block erupter cube ASIC 38gh/s miner and you get two compatible PCI-E sockets.

Ran that way for months until I sold it and I can only assume it's still running that way.

Swapped a few plugs on Habaneros, which I can't imagine KNC anything is built more like a giant heatsink than those boards are. Still wasn't really a quick process.
