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.

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.
823  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.)

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

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.

Nov 15th update:

Quote
The Bad news is the delivery of parts which we needed to begin today has been delayed by about 5-10 days

There' no issue with parts, just the guys developing the final revision (hardware, and software) wanted to optimize it further, so it's more ongoing performance improvements.

Which is it?  Did I miss a subsequent clarification?



I was told the same thing while in Stockholm - that there is no issue with parts. I guess it's just miscomunication as usual.



The point of me sharing this is simply to show my excitement and proof that even a noob like me can make this work!



Officially, I cannot condone what you have done! you have voided your warranty. Angry

(Unoffically; Result! Tongue)

Oficially we are not supposed to even open the case or remove modules ourselves, but we do, because we have to and KNC approves it, so this warranty business is like a gate in a field  Grin

Are these controller boards available from KnC in case of a failure? Will the new controller boards be compatible with the current upgrade modules, or vice versa?

No, they don't sell them or at least that's what I was told.

840  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 21, 2013, 12:41:12 PM
so it's day 6 of the 5 - 10 days.  just wondering if there is an update or revised plan?

21st of Nov today, and the advert for "all orders paid now will be shipped in November 2013" was still running until 2 weeks ago when knc sold out.  So with that in mind, do knc think this will still happen or will only some get there Nov orders in time?

November shipping will most probably turn into December shipping for a lot of people.
You should have learnt by now that this is a trademark of KNC: they say one thing, but another thing happens (not intentionally obviously, but nevertheless it happens).
