Hi,
I have one psu from my broken s4 and want to use it to run two s5.
But cables are different and i don't know how to change them to 4 pin.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks,

You will probably need to rewire and split to make PCI-e ends. Or you could jury rig the +V to the +V on the connectors. It would work but its not something i would do. Maybe you could find some kind of breakout board that you could connect all the + to one bolt and all the ground to the other and then connect PCI-e cables on it.

Or you could just undervolt the S4 and run it at 1TH/s and use 0.6W/GHS instead of 0.5W/GHS like the S5.

I found this kit:

but this is expensive. I think the best solution as you mentioned is rewire the psu.

This is just psu. chains are broken.
Also i can run 2 s5 with this psu and get about 2.2TH !

Pretty sure thats a breakout board for a different PSU. I dont see how you could make this work with the one you have.

Easiest way would be to solder those screw terminals to the S5.

If I were doing it and wanted something nondestructive, it wouldn't be too hard to crimp a 6-pin into a ring terminal, then use short bolts to lock 'em onto your PSU cables and tape the connections.

yes, this possible too, without changing anything in both psu and ants.
thanks.
