As has been mentioned several times before, that part will not work on the 750. Power blade spacing is wrong.

My hosting is set up with in mind to help out the home-scale miners that can't afford to run hardware at home. Industrial scale is kinda ruining the landscape for everyone.

My entire apartment has been heated by a Dragon miner for the last few months. Furnace only runs when I need it quiet in here. Another two months and that's probably getting shut down and moved to the museum.

If you need something from me, best to PM or email. Let's keep pmorici's thread clear of stuff not related to what he's selling.

Convenience fee attached with a quiet, low-powered miner. That and materials value - buying a Dragon is buying one controller (a Pi, I believe) and one LCD, versus buying ten controllers (which are stronger than Pis) and ten LCDs (which are better than the ones on Dragons).

As much as I hate to endorse the competition, I'm out of stock for 750W stuff for a couple weeks (we had an unexpected run on materials) so... buy this guy's instead I guess.
5606  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Server Power Supply Interface Board - for standalone miners and GPU rigs on: February 15, 2015, 05:18:34 PM
I can tell by looking that it won't work on the 750W, at least not the ones I carry.

Yep. It was handy that I already had the ring connectors you required; that made the making of them no more difficult than our stock cables. Glad everything appears to be working well.
5608  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Sp20 - New to mining on: February 13, 2015, 05:54:19 PM
Make sure you have one PSU running each pair of power jacks. If you put the two PSUs with one connection on each half, you run the risk of one PSU dwarfing the other and taking too much load. They don't load-balance like properly configured server PSUs so you have to be careful and keep the rails independent.
5609  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Low power chips WANTED!!! 0.3 W/Ghs or around. Ideal miner design for exchange on: February 13, 2015, 03:59:34 PM
Or use good PSUs which can load-balance.

Also, I wonder if Bitmain intends to do any more talking about their off-the-cuff comment in this currently very-off-topic thread, or if they'll start a new one for the actual announcement.

I have no idea if it was a coincidence or not, but he started replying to emails about ten minutes after I posted that.

The scrypt market has changed quite a bit since that couple of weeks when Litecoin was trading at $40.

I need to fetch a couple S2 sometime. All I have is the kit, not the stock version, so it'd be good to have a stock and a second stock to upgrade, for the museum.
5612  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASICMiner controller Question.. on: February 12, 2015, 10:18:00 PM
Oh, um, thanks.
5613  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Antminer S6 speculation on: February 12, 2015, 07:25:12 PM
Looks like S2 upgrade boards are imminent.

So... if you're wanting to buy a machine which, when properly tended, prints lots of money. Versus buy a machine which, when properly tended, supports an economy actually worth something in the long run.

Yes, but it may not break even.

I was talking to bobsag last week about sourcing some PSUs; over preceding weeks we'd been discussing doing some work for them. I've had no contact since last Thursday, didn't respond to email or phone.

I'm not sure what that means for them, but that's the way it is from our end.

Anyone trying to look to Minersource for their Dell 750W or DPS-2000BB PSU hardware, I was a primary supplier for both those things so I reckon just talk to me directly. I have nothing to do with actual miner sales though, so can't help there. Good of Bitmain to pick up some slack there with warranties.
5617  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hosted miners - choose own pool on: February 12, 2015, 02:01:54 PM
Are you looking for leased hashrate, or somewhere to send an existing miner for hosting? I can host (we have about 15KW open right now), and with the included VPN remote access you can connect to it like it was on your local network. Any pool, any coin, whatever.
5618  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Low power chips WANTED!!! 0.3 W/Ghs or around. Ideal miner design for exchange on: February 12, 2015, 01:58:57 PM
So, it wasn't based on the OneString or those Yaizo (sp?) boards or the Prisma or a couple other string designs that had come out several months or a year earlier? I don't know of anything the S5 does that's truly novel design.
5619  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Anyone used a 8 PIN CPU to PCIe converter? on: February 11, 2015, 04:29:01 PM
There's a point you're all completely missing.  CPU connectors for the motherboard are 4 pin or 8 pin.  PCI-E power connectors are for graphics card and are either 6 or 8 pin.  The 8 pin CPU and 8 pin GPU connectors have completely different wire arrangements and different shaped plastic housing.  They are not compatible with each other.

The other point is that most high end power supplies are single rail.  That means stealing power from the 12V CPU power connector with some wacky chinese adapter to put it into a PCI-E hookup is pointless.  All the power is coming from one 12V rail anyway.

I would simply buy the right power supply instead.

I'm pretty sure everyone here understands the EPS and 8-pin PCIe are different. That's why the OP started this discussion by asking about an adapter.

If you already have the PSU, and it's capable of sourcing the required power, but lacks the required number of 6-pins, it makes more sense to use a $5 adapter than to buy a new $100 PSU. Sure you could splitter your existing wires into more 6-pins, but that puts excessive load on cabling while leaving other several-hundred-watt-rated 12V wires unused. And still requires buying splitters - which is to say, a different type of adapter. His question, and intended purpose, are fully legitimate.

Additionally, not all adapters are "wacky" or "chinese".

Stuff he doesn't want, I might (but also in the US).
