1  Bitcoin / Hardware / [SOLVED] Avalon batch 2 delivered, dead PSU, beware of GS800 2013 edition on: May 23, 2013, 07:39:19 PM
Hi,

I got my Avalon Batch #2 delivered. (France)

Unfortunately, the PSU was completely dead on arrival (Enermax GX750)

I picked up a Corsair GS800 (which is listed as approved PSU on the wiki) at the local shop. Unfortunately (again, im being lucky) Corsair released a "2013 Edition" with has fewer options than the original GS800: 2 connectors are missing.

So I recabled my Avalon but I don't have a connector for the "EPS_12V_2" since this PSU has only one "CPU cable".. so i left EPS_12V_2 empty...

Cabled:
ATX
PCIE_12V_1
PCIE_12V_2
EPS_12V_1

Not cabled:
EPS_12V_2

The Avalon started on the new PSU (which was a HUGE relief) and managed to mine during around 10 minutes... then it rebooted. I don't know if it's related to the missing EPS_12V_2 plug.

Is this bad ? Is there a risk of overloading the other rails ?

Firmware: 20130419

Any advices welcome.
