Thank you so much for your help!

Maybe I'm confused but it's my understanding that each of the three blades needs 3 plugs so 9 are needed for the blades then 1 is needed for the controller for a total of 10.  You are correct that the PSU came with two cables that split 1 to 2, but that only gets me to 8 total.  Do I use extra splitters on two of the other cables?  Also does it matter which ones numbered 1 through 6 that I split (e.g. only split alternating or even numbered slots)?

TL;DR first... Exactly what ports & adapters do I use on the EVGA 1300 to get to 10 PCIE connections since it only comes with wiring for 8 PCIE?

Now the longer version...

I just received my first miner the S7 (batch 6) and based on popular feedback got the the EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 power supply to go with it.  Now that I have everything I am curious which plugs I'm supposed to use on the PSU.  There are 6 red plugs labeled VGA, and various others labeled SATA, CPU, and PERIF.  I see various posts saying to use PCI-E splitters (PCIEXSPLIT6 6-Inch PCI Express Power Splitter Cable) and/or molex adapters (LP4 to 6 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter), but wanted to make sure I'm using the appropriate combination to avoid issues.  It's too expensive of a machine to take a trial and error approach.

I know that the VGA ports are the PCI-E ports so my assumption is that I'm either supposed to use the 6 VGA plugs with several splitters or possibly a combination of the 6 VGA plugs and the two PERIF plugs with molex adapters.  I just want some confirmation or validation on the best approach to using this power supply without the risk of overloading the PSU or wires.

For what it's worth I am in the US and I currently have my setup running to a dedicated 20 amp circuit that I ran with 12 gauge wire, but it's only running with 2 boards since that's all I could get running safely without starting to use splitters.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.  I really appreciate all the posts I've been reading on this forum to get me as far as I've gotten having only started this yesterday.

I completely agree and wish this was an option within the software.  I use mine at home and there's nothing I can do if my internet provider drops my connection for a while.  And I sure don't want to know about it at 3 AM.

From what I've read online it seems that there hasn't really been a good way to do this on any of the Antminer devices.  That said, if anyone finds a way to do this without voiding the warranty, I'd love to know how.
