On the 3 boards on the miner, each one has 3 sockets, one socket says ground, another 12v, so I assume the 3rd is 5v....on the breakout board, there one ground and one 12v, and I assume the other 4 are 5v....I know not to split the hashboard between power supplies, but if I put 2 hashboards to one power supply (6 cables) do I need to worry about designating the exact cables ground-ground and 12v-12v between the hashboard and breakout board
So basically my question is I have 3 ground sockets and 3 12v sockets going to 2 power supplies
Those 6 pin plugs are the very same used by gpus on ATX psus. All they have is three 12v and three ground, nothing else.
Pin | Name | Color | Description |
1 | COM | Black | Ground |
2 | COM | Black | Ground |
3 | COM | Black | Ground |
4 | +12VDC | Yellow | +12 VDC |
5 | +12VDC | Yellow | +12 VDC |
6 | +12VDC | Yellow | +12 VDC |
There is no 5v.
Each hashboard has 3 (6pin) plugs, and those three should be fed from a single PSU. I think you could even theoretically use 3(4) psus, one for each hashboard (3 6pin plug each) and the controller. You are also supposed to ensure the controller comes online (powered) first which also uses its own 6pin...
