Well by imagination your mean math..
I'm expecting to see 2000-2400 off my psu if I max it out
That works out to be 200 amps on the high end.

200/32 = 6.25 so let's say 6.

I only want to run to four lines.
for 50 amps max per line.
Even that with an est. 3% loss would have me using 6 AWG wire... Which is nuts.
That runs to a terminal than breaks out into dual PCI connectors.

If I'm unable to find a 50amp terminal for the back of the plug, I need to somehow split the wires into either more wire' at an uneven/unblanaced number or overload them little 32 ampers.

I'd rather not have 12 terminals on the back of the plug, 4 and 4 would be as ideal as they come.

Finding a 50 terminal I can solder to the back of the plug, is my next issue!

Short of finding your prefered 50A rated terminal block, I can not see another solution aside from side mounting the 32A terminal blocks onto your connector, which'd make each power connector capable of serving 64A (as opposed to the max out put of 50A). In my estimation, you'd then have a total of 16 terminals on each connector (or 12 if you prefer it that way). For bitcoin mining, I can not find any reason to make it more complicated than that, but of course, you may have other use cases I am not privy to.

I am assuming here that you'd like to do this on the basis of cost reduction, if not, then you have the breakout board option, and with that you do have options, literally!



Well, I was planning to mount the PSUs a meter or two from the miner's, so having less wirer would be best.
I was thinking of running 8AWG from the psu to beside the miner than breaking out with smaller terminal boards. For wire management.
I'd like to have 8 wire's come off the back of the pcb to make  it the most organized, but this is seeming to be a harder option. I may need to double my wires up like you stated Sad

This kicks my OCD into overdrive.

I've ordered today!
That's like getting into mining for the first time again  Grin.

Hopefully ASIC mining will be fun as GPU mining was.

Good for you! You are able to get free electricity, right?


Yes, I Can run them on free electricity. But only up to 6 units. That is enough for me though. Doing it as a Hobby with a bit of cashflow 😊.
Hopefully I will receive them this week

yep, I'm a little jealous about the free electric. I bet some people are out right stealing electric from their work place by the thousands and no one has a clue. Imagine someone getting caught and fired from their job because of doing that. Why do I speak about it? I'm in a situation where it would be VERY easy for me to do. I have headends and OTN's all over the place I could install miners in, but it just isn't worth my job in the end. Damn, I hate getting jealous.


Any idea how many IT people were fired or arrested back when software mining was worth it? running entire networks of work pc's at night with cgminer.

I can tell by looking that it won't work on the 750W, at least not the ones I carry.
What's the part number for the Dell 750W PSU's connector if you care to share?

I'd like to build them for the dps 2000bb but at 2000watts, I feel a need to find a larger terminal block to effectively build them.
If you think outside the box, you can actually put one together capable of handling 2000W + with just the 32A terminal blocks ... just use  some imagination ....

@sidehack - the actual model / description is Dell NY526 PowerEdge 2950 750W Redundant Power Supply

I agree about the 1000 watt range, but effectively if I tap my PSU's out at that, than I could screw myself when I see a 800 dollar bitcoin and want every hash I can get.

That being said, these little psu's have been known to run 2400 watts a piece. So maybe I will clock them at 1000watts, put two per psu and just overclock with extra cooling as needed.

That's super cool.
I'd love to see a higher rated, been looking. 60 amps would be nice Smiley

Wow this is a really good deal if you wanted to deal with stolen money or get scammed which i do not want either, why do this op? I mean why try scam or steal? It is disgusting the owner of the account actually worked hard for that money 'if' it existed and you should really get a job before you end up in jail.

Hope jail comes before for you scammer thiefs.

So what country lol?

need to change address, buy something, hope it ships before seller get's screwed, than have it tied to my address anyway? or try to sucker some schmuck into selling bitcoin for it?

EDIT:
I love how you than want us to send you BTC for paypal, hahahahahahaha Safe and secure paypal moneys right?

Is there any way to test this for free? Even a few hours is fine.

Agreed, and does the android version run okay on XBMC, allow remote control, or touch only?
750  Economy / Services / Design me a cheap PCB, help me find a heavy do connector on: February 14, 2015, 11:04:30 PM
I'm looking to make a small PU breakout board,
Small pcb needs to accept the plug, have a small on/off button, a little led would be nice as well.
And than find a few heavy gauge terminals capable of handling a large amount of current, 2000 watts.

Message me if you can help with this, I have the digikey links to the plug, would need help finding the best terminal option that can handle higher than 30 amps.
switch and led would be up to the designer.

Plan to sell the boards off as a DIY kit, for a cheaper than $50 option for server power supplies.

I'm not against paying a bit, but want very simple single layer pcb with heavy traces.

Thanks

Got the perspex fittings to put together the Mk1 with two three pole connectors ..... this is for a 550W Dell server PSU (not sure it fits the 750W one, but I'll be getting that later this week). I also added a switch for the power  and had also designed a spare hole for the fan swicth (where the wires are protruding) but left it out on this one since the model I am going to run this on does not seem to turn down the fan.

Front view


Rear view


In situ


I also have a Mk2 which is top monted, as opposed to the side mounted Mk1 above, but have not put it together yet.

That is exactly what I'm wanting, but I'd like a heavier duty terminal,
752  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Unofficial Spondoolies SP20 thread on: February 14, 2015, 09:00:47 PM
I have 6 of these coming, I'd like to run them at the 1000-1100 watt range to optimize my server psu's.
I was considering running 4 off 4000Watts,

But that taps me at max, so was thinking of running the spondoolies, 3 on 4000 watts, which leaves me space to crank them right up if needed.

Maybe even share a pir of ants with them that I can take offline.

Should I max my 4k or leave space to crank them if it's needed?

what is your power cost.  the sp20's run really efficient in the 600 to 800 watt range .  once you want to do more then 800 watts into the sp20 the hash rate hardly goes up.

I would try to run 5 sp20's off the 4000 watts of power you have.

 I would send about 700 watts to each sp20 which is about 1300gh for each machine.

at 9 cents a kwatt or more this makes sense

I pay 7.5 cents Canadian.
Power supplies are cheap, So I like the idea of having room too go from 800 to 1100 or so when the price increases to make it worth the extra hash.


What would I see for 1000watts at the machine for hash?

I can take CC as well, but at the fee's charged for manually entering and the chance of charge back, I have no idea why anyone would!

I just tried to purchase an SP20, was re-directed to a shopify(?).com for bitcoin payment and it said the site was down. I guess I will be buying an S5 instead. I really wanted an SP20, though.

Or you could wait a few and try again?
Can\t really want it super bad, if you'll settle for something else lol
756  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Server Power Supply Interface Board - for standalone miners and GPU rigs on: February 12, 2015, 07:15:20 PM
I have stock of 30 amp 2 pos 7.62mm screw terminals I can sell you.  I use them in some of the Gigampz breakout boards I build.   They have little channels on the side so you can join them together to be any length you need as long as it is a multiple of two.



Help me out.
2000 or say 2200 watts at 12v DC
Push 180 amps give or take
four of those can't handle that?
Trying to find a heavy duty lug, but not much luck

760  Bitcoin / Project Development / PCB Design? on: February 12, 2015, 06:42:29 AM
Looking for someone to help make me a pcb board.

I have a few components, small board, 4"x1" or so.

2000W of power,s o need heavy traces. Nothing overly fancy.

pm me if you can help or post here if you have advice on costs etc. Likely order 100 of these boards.


Thank You
