XFX 1250W - Paper clip trick?

[cryptotore]

Hi,

I'm having problems with a XFX 1250W PSU.
I can't get it to power on with the  "paper clip trick" when I only draw power on the 12v PCIe connectors.

I remember reading about that some PSUs need to draw power on the 5v rails to actually deliver power?
It works fine if I use a add2psu adapter.
I want to use it to power my baikal miners!

Tips?

I normally connect one fan to psu just to easily see if it is on or not, would that help in your case?

Just get this.

Also baikal 300mh uses only 75 watts, so sometimes you need a load on psu soonest

This turn on cube to provide such. Then psu switch or paperclip trick on psu switched on

xfx 1250w extra cables (( unexpected ))


Before one month i made a ticket in xfx support site and i told them if they can send me  2-3 more molex arrays because im using this psu for mining and the sata cables become too hot.
They answered after 1 hour and told me that they can send me more molex arrays!
3 days ago they send me an email to say that they sended the items(( and excuse for the delay  because they send the items from hong kong))
Today i received a big packade (( FEDEX EXPRESS ))not only with 2-3 molex arrays but with 20 DEFFERENT SETS OF CABLES (( ALL TYPES )) FOR 1250 PSU!
IT WAS UNEXPECTED!
For me ,that was a present from XFX.
A BIG SERPRISE!

A BIG THANK U FROM ME TO XFX FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE AND FOR THE GREAT SERVICE!
