What happened to your 30A PSU, that's what mine are running off at the moment, and after a quick trip to maplin to get a new fan for it, its working well Smiley.

I might end up using the old 30A machine, I don't know.  My head is fried with it, it's working at the moment, so I'm just going to leave it alone for tonight.  Been at it since this morning.  Undecided

What sort of current is a blade pulling?

Got the USB and Blade this afternoon. Hashing away and overclocked with Slush stratum proxy.

Let me know how I can return the faulty USB miner as we discussed via PM!

Thanks. Smiley  I was being careful with what cables I was using going by the label on the PSU.  It was giving trouble it seems, it was powering my last GPU miner machine, which wasn't the most stable.  I just stripped the machine last week.  Seems it was that PSU.

Seems these blades take a while to setup.
Just finished stripping molex power cables to attach to all the blocks

I'm gonna use ocz 1250 zx series to power 9 boards.
Any one think I could run 15 of them. I gotta spare 650 watt psu laying around Giving out a total of 65 amps

Got both Blades, and 10 Erupters, plus fan controller with 4 fans running off the old 30A supply.  Drawing 21A@12v.  Annoyingly, it's drawing over 500W from the mains, and emitting a ridiculous amount of heat.  These old bench supplies are NOT efficient in any way.

Will definitely be switching over to a decent, working ATX PSU ASAP.
