Is this going to be OK?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Supernova-1300W-Modular-Supply/dp/B00E9I2BYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384622838&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+G2+1300w#productDetails


I am a PSU short and don't get paid until Thursday so can't go with the Coolmaster.

That is a great PSU. I have 2 of them.

To maximise the performance of your November shipment orders, we recommend the following:
- for November Jupiter’s a 1200 Watt PSU with a minimum of four separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).
- for November Saturn’s an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of two separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).

I might have missed it due to the noise level here but does this mean that the November Jupiter's are less efficient than their October counterparts?  I thought they were around 1W/GH

I would think yes. Even October miners are not 1W/GH/s at the wall - at least most of them. I am yet to see that statement come true for me.

Maybe I used 2 coolermaster v1000 for November Jupiter

how would that work?

You just plug 2 of the modules in one and 2 into the other + a molex from one of them powers the controller board. And you have to start them at the same time.

But it's a complete overkill.
EVGA SuperNova 1300W is your best best: awesome quality, enough PCI-E ports and cables and 10 year warranty.

Thx - the biggest ive seen locally is an 1100 and im a bit iffy using that when the 'official' stance is 1200ftw - but i'll see if i can find a 1300 elsewhere - its not as if the rig/s are en route

also - cooler master only give out free cables to US customers - i paid 15 euro for 4 pci-e (inc. shipping)

I am in the UK and they sent me 7 cables for free. They came from the Netherlands.
Btw you can make them very cheap Wink
Or just buy twin molex to PCI-E = 2 more modules Wink

I'm sure solder or an imperfect crimp will suffice.  It's not like this jumper will be carrying much current at all.

^^^This.

If your are going to splash for the crimper, it is this one I believe: http://dx.com/p/lodestar-l214192-terminals-ratchet-crimping-tool-yellow-black-250405

Thank you. That one seems reasonable in price. I will probably get one.
826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 22, 2013, 07:18:37 PM
My bad. I thought you were looking for one for the little terminals in the post I first replied to. Molex requires a different tool, and probably more expensive. Or you could solder the wires to the terminals, which is what I've done in the past. Picky, but not terribly difficult.

Check this one http://uk.farnell.com/te-connectivity-amp/1-794617-0/receptacle-dual-row-10way/dp/1111091
Be careful though the cut outs are often different you need to check if the corners match on the plug and socket.

So I made some additional research (used the online chat on the site you gave me) and was told this is the right connector:
http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/39-01-2100/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtVoztFdqDXO6IgqogZDQiJ
or this one
http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/39-01-2105/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduihxjzDOr1tv20yexU0RnWqYViKyHkA%2fEw%3d
More information here: http://uk.mouser.com/catalog/English/102/GBP/1388.pdf

So all I need is some of these + the pins + a crimp tool (why is it so expensive?)

Here's a link on Amazon, but these are walmart items in the US. I would think you can find something similar for cheap in the UK. The more expensive ones are professional tools, made to stand up to the abuse of a pissed off electrician. Thus expensive. The cheapo hobby ones work just fine, except that under daily constant use they'll wear out fast. (My father is an electrician. There is a significant difference in strength between his Klein crimping tool and my POS like the link below. Both do the job.)

http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Solderless-Terminal-Connection-Stripper/dp/B000K7GRCI/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1385144210&sr=8-6&keywords=electrical+crimping+tool

I have that exact same tool left over by e friend. Never knew it can crimp molex terminals. Which part of it do you use?

You don't need a high dollar AMP crimping tool.
Many auto parts stores have inexpensive crimp kits for the tool, and might even have terminals that will work.

Your parts lookup skills are commendable.

I don't know if it is in your comfort zone but you could open the PSU and solder in a jumper.

Cleanest look obtainable.

YMMV

I don't want to mess up the warranty, so that's why I want to just attach a connector.
Also I think I can attach the terminal to the cable with just some basic pliers and, no special crimp tools is required, but nevertheless it is a good tool to have.
Do you know if any of these is for terminals: http://dx.com/s/crimp+tool

I can't find it in the UK or Europe Sad And the usual 6 pin PCI-E does not fit.
Any ideas?


I jump all my PSUs right at the modular connector. You don't have to have 10pin connector if you can just get the female crimp pins instead.  Make a small lead and attach it to the proper PS_On and Gnd pins.

P.S. - I do make switch connectors that will work for this but the shipping to Europe sucks cost wise for singles.

Why don't people just use a PSU tester into the mother board ATX cable? that turns the PSU on + cheap + gives you a read out.

If you read the discussion you would know why: Because I would like to get rid of the 24-pin ATX cable. It is not really required.

Thank you. That's my main concern - that the shape of each connector would be different.
I think round pegs go into square holes, but square pegs don't go into round holes.
I'm currently chatting with them, so let's see what they say as the picture is just a stock one.

Do you mean to get these, connect a cable between them, insulate them and then plug it directly into the PSU:



Can you post some pictures on what you made, so I can get a better idea.

Thank you.

Yes that is what you need.  You just crimp a 4-5cm section of 18AWG wire and then plug it in. If you are paranoid then cover over in electrical tape. Not the prettiest thing but will work fine and is cheap.

Check the thread in my sig for my switches.  Here is pic of the idea (not mine and its a little long):

Thank you again.

Do I need a special crimp tool to attach the cable to the pins or I can just use a household pliers and squeeze it until it bites the wire?

Also do you know of any other connector I can use apart from the 10 pin one if I decide to go that way? I tried a 6 pin PCi-E, but it's just not made to go there.
I need to make 4 for 2 PSUs: CM V850 and EVGA 1300W - the former has the PS_ON pin on a 10 pin connector and the latter has it on a 18 pin connector.

I grew up using those. You should use a proper crimping tool. They are cheap as hell at wal mart and a myriad other places. you CAN do it with a pair of basic pliers, but it's difficult.

This one is for the Seasonic/Corsair units. All you need to do is slap some pins in there and short it out.

Pm me your address and ill send you one on Monday, I'm away for weekend. I'm in the uk.
I take it you just want the little cable with the crimp connectors on?
Better make it your work address or something, sending an address where you have a miner might not be a good idea.

Thank you for the offer, but I can probably make these myself easily as the required parts are readily available on Ebay.
What I am looking for is for the more complete solution: the 10 pin connector you linked from FrozenCPU.

Any ideas where I can find that in the UK? So far I found it only on Frozen CPU and Ebay.
