Anyone use a 10-pin connector directly on the PSU: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19648/ele-1163/FrozenCPU_ConnectRight_10-Pin_Female_PSU_Power_Connector_-_Corsair_Seasonic_-_Black.html







I can't find it in the UK or Europe And the usual 6 pin PCI-E does not fit.
Any ideas?

I have the 24pin version of that, plugged right into the end of the 24 pin cable for my KnCs. works very very well, no problems yet.

Here's an interesting tidbit for you: Jumping right at the power supply works on some PSUs, however not all. It worked fine on the terrible Corsair RM850, however on the AX860 and the Seasonic 860 (same psu) it absolutely will not work, however jumping it at the end of the 24pin cable works fine. I notice there are multiple wires coming from teh PSU side that then double up on the 24Pin end, I didn't bother looking into it further or tracking the ones that needed bridging, I just deal with the ATX cable and jump it at the end.

Well, I've got 5 modules running now and I'm getting about 660GH/s. Adding only 110GH/s to my old 550GH/s seemed slow, so I used bertmod and see that I've got the dreaded Die 0 issue! I'm running firmware 0.98.1 and blocked the airflow to raise the temp without success (reached 80 degrees C before I lost my nerve and started the fan again).

Are there any other tricks before I decide to RMA it? My 2nd module arrives tomorrow and I'm hoping for better luck.

Did you try swapping the ribbon cables around on the controller to see if the problem follows the module or stays with the new connector?

Yep, and I forgot to mention that I am also using enablecores.bin. I downgraded all the way to 0.91 and all of a sudden all of the DC/DC modules had amperage! I then upgraded to 0.92 and I lost the original DC/DC plus another!

I remember Phoenix mention that he pressed down on his VRMs and felt a 'snap', so I tried that and two of them seemed to click as if they weren't all the way down. Upon powering up, however, there was no difference.

I went back to 0.91 and it brings back the first DC/DC that was failing, but the one that failed later is still offline. Let the wild goose chase continue!

I have one vrm that needs a finger to touch it after every reboot this last few reboots........  but be careful, dont press hard on these to snap the connection off the bottom...

I also have 4 of these, but I want to ditch the 24 pin cable, so only 1x Moles for the Beaglebone and 4x PCI-E cables for the cards are left.

Just these cables:

Mind If I steal that cable management?

So how does Bertmod work?  Is there a version that works with 0.99 ?

You just install it like a firmware upgrade.

Version 0.3 seems to work ok with 0.99.

I jump all my PSUs right at the modular connector. You don't have to have 10pin connector if you can just get the female crimp pins instead.  Make a small lead and attach it to the proper PS_On and Gnd pins.

P.S. - I do make switch connectors that will work for this but the shipping to Europe sucks cost wise for singles.

Do you mean to get these, connect a cable between them, insulate them and then plug it directly into the PSU:



Can you post some pictures on what you made, so I can get a better idea.

Thank you.

Please please tell me you have something soft under that board? There's a whole lot of teeny tiny components on the bottom that I can't imagine would like stone!

Yes that is what you need.  You just crimp a 4-5cm section of 18AWG wire and then plug it in. If you are paranoid then cover over in electrical tape. Not the prettiest thing but will work fine and is cheap.

Check the thread in my sig for my switches.  Here is pic of the idea (not mine and its a little long):

Do I need a special crimp tool to attach the cable to the pins or I can just use a household pliers and squeeze it until it bites the wire?

Also do you know of any other connector I can use apart from the 10 pin one if I decide to go that way? I tried a 6 pin PCi-E, but it's just not made to go there.
I need to make 4 for 2 PSUs: CM V850 and EVGA 1300W - the former has the PS_ON pin on a 10 pin connector and the latter has it on a 18 pin connector.

yeah I cut little squares of rubber gasket and made them three piece high under the 4 inner screw holes... so there is a few millimeters of space inbetween

A crimp tool would be ideal but if not you could use a pair of small needle nose pliers to bend the metal, it is soft. I would follow up with a drop of solder on the crimped connection to make sure it stays in place and doesn't pull out when done that way.

As far the plastic connectors go they are all keyed differently but with a pattern. I really do not think you will get other types to fit in without first cutting off the latch and if you are going to do that I would not bother with them in the first place.

Considering you want 4 jumpers why not PM me and I can see what it would run to make them with the switches. With BTC so high it would be cheap (just sayin').

I can vouch for Cablez    He's da bomb with cables,if it can be done,he can do it!!!!!!!

Thanks again for the excellent service Cablez !!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have reseated the fan and I think its better now.

I only got 2 screws with my upgrade module. It looks like there should be 4. Can anyone confirm? The board I got from KNC has 2 additional screws in it under the plate above the die.
But, regardless, its up and running at full steam it seems. My mercury with this upgrade board is running at 300GH/s.

I bought an Xbox One and a PlayStation 4 to commemorate the Bitcoin explosion by the way. And my One controller came exactly the same time as the board.
