I want to be able to use... so that would pry need a different miner program instead of cpuminer....

Estimate on recycler was near dead on..

At this time not sure what I would request for improvements.  Time will tell what this will morph into.

The heatsinks just are vga ones, 8 to pack with thermal tape already on them..got off ebay... took a long time to show up 3 weeks i think.
 I spent 2 hours setting up that table, underneath is a mess just cause the cables are a bit unequal length. but i wanted them to disappear into the blue antistatic mat.  I made those stickers.

I still have fans on my 5 chips and they are way louder.  I think the fan size and the length of the connector cable (connector should match obviously) all need to worry about.  I put copper heatsinks ($4.00) and an old P4 fan (free) blowing down across the sets of heatsinks and "hot" areas of the cards (backside of the pcb)

I ran a copper wire through the holes to make long legs, one is stuck in contact putty (for posters), the fan is taped at the back with aluminum tape.  It won't easily come off.  This did not help with HW errors, i still have one that gets a few each day compared to the other that maybe has one (pool switching causes more with them).

I made some labels for my gridseeds.  I had to use one blank one though, http://postimg.org/image/hc3rbn931/  forgive the dust.

The only mod that might quiet them down (bigger fan!)... in the mod section search for Gridseed Blade Widebody. 

Im not sure how it effects the quality and longevity of the output of the psu though.  That is my question. 

I found another link on ebay for powering older AT P8/P9  boards with modern eps 24pin psu. 
They had a 3.3v 10watt load applied to the connector along with an on/off switch and AT P8/P9 connectors.

So that is where the question is originating from.  Maybe you can power the gridseed, but only the 5v and 12v outputs being used.
   Is there a risk of not using the 3.3v output with just any psu you buy intended to go into a pc?

I really don't know a lot about electronic circuts and why you would need this, but would this item be of use for safety or stability in a gridseed application using atx power supplies.?...

24-pin Power Supply Jump Start With Dummy Load +3,3V.

or is it a waste and potential fire-risk.  I have had "resisters" in my car stereo system that saw too much wattage and started to smoke.  No fire, but it stunk until it burnt out the connection enough.

Do you really need to run a load on the 3.3 rail when not drawing the load for "stable" power in most psus?   

Maybe just a cheaper jumper is all that is needed.  I just want to see what others opinions are... in case i am overthinking this.  I am not using a paper clip that can pop out.  I want that to be my last worry.

You don't want to cheap out on the power supplies.  Never ever ever.  My father used to work for IBM as a hdd test frame builder/designer.  The power supplies they got to run those 24/7 testers were the best they could budget for to make sure they never had to debug bad power.

I am going to use a used corsair psu on my set up, until I get a new one and test it out for stability.  I read a lot of stories online about burn outs from the cheaper psu that others were using.  That is too much of a risk on investment.  Some people lost the whole farm... maybe those users can't wire up a light bulb and that was the problem.  We have all made stupid assembly mistakes.  I recently wrecked hardware having a screw out of alignment with the video cards. I would suggest group buys stay away from those psu.  Doing the atx route is safer for the customer in the end--supply a decent set of hookup cables and let the customer get their psu inline themselves.

I would suggest those metal racks with mfd shelves that go together with slotted tabs (found at menards and lowels for about 50 to 60 usd) hold way more weight per shelf and you can bolt them to the wall so no boob tips them over.  I used them for fish tank racks and they never collapsed with 300llb of water weight on each shelf. I did upgrade the wood to 3/4" plywood wrapped in plastic to prevent water damage.  Maybe ditch the wood shelfs and just run a wire lattice in the metal frame to cradle all the gridseed in rows so they are easier to swap out for maintenance.  Eventually you will need to figure out where gridseed 2000 is if it fails.  I see some people spending as much on the racks as the servers they go into.. not necessary.

I don't envy the wire management problem.  with my small order it will be easier than that farm.

Can you send my invoice so I can get my order in for the 8pack?
