for board power we included the option of using either 4 pin molex or your common 12v dc barrel jack connector like what they use on the bitforce single.

As we do not provide power supplies for these units we wanted to make sure everyone would be able to power their units in the way that they wished.

My personal opinion would be to

buy something like this:

which is a highly efficient and top notch PSU - as far as I know the only PSU certified to platinum efficiency status is Seasonic.

I personally use these on my fpga rigs - one of these 1000 watt babies will easily power 8-10 54Gh/s bASICS


Now I owe a huge apology to my customers who are waiting on email responses. I have some family issues I have to deal with that are going to keep me away until monday. but I give you my word that I will have all outstanding emails inquiries addressed by monday morning at the latest.

take care my brothers

Guys, bASIC boards will have both Molex and barrel connectors on-board and you are free to use any one.

I would like too to know if the  barrel connector is supplied with the device or should I buy it, in that case any suggestion?

Best

yes dc adapters come in all shapes and sizes - the barrel jack connector we are using is about the most common size available - as far as I know you just need 12v but I will make sure the engineers give me exact specs of the ideal adapter - but when in doubt use molex.

If you run out of molex connectors on your PSU you can always use the sata to molex adapter we sell on our website.

I believe that for powering the device, your can use either a wallwart-style power adapter plugged into the wall with its barrel connector, or you can use a 4-pin Molex connector from a PC power supply, like were used to power the older PATA drives.

For communication with the device, you must use USB.  You cannot power the device using USB.

While I like the idea of everyone trying that as it will keep network hashrate down, you might want to reconsider hooking the barrel jack directly to the wall.
