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.

A bit off topic, but how is the Xbox One?

Hi
do you know if there is any other radiator that artic i30 compatible with the modules ?

[Biffa]

Lots I think, you just need screws long enough.

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 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.

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):

Thank you again.

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.

I grew up using those. You should use a proper crimping tool. They are cheap as hell at wal mart and a myriad other places. you CAN do it with a pair of basic pliers, but it's difficult.

Can you link me to one please. Preferably on Ebay.

Thank you.

I use a very small piece of 2.5mm solid power cable and crimp it in a "U" shape it holds the shape well then. Works with non modular PSU's too if you don't attach crimp connectors and is exactly the right thickness to be a snug fit in the connector.

I take it you just want the little cable with the crimp connectors on? I'm making some up for my own November delivery it's just as easy to make an extra one while I've got all the bits out.
Better make it your work address or something, sending an address where you have a miner might not be a good idea.

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.

Jumping right at the power supply also doesn't work with Cooler Master PSU's.

I use method below with single poll two way switch. Small cable ties hold it in place but not required as they push in nice and snug.





the 2 end pins I bend outwards just slightly to meet holes in the plug.
EDIT. BTW, center is OFF and either side is ON

EDIT 2. either of the switches below will work fine. and better than PSU tester as you can switch it ON and OFF without removing and replacing.

Yawn.......
Good morning Campers Miners...
Not a peep yet from The Descendants of Oden & Frair?
Oh well, I guess I'll pry myself away from the computers
and do some actual labor around the farm today.....
Things are beginning to look like I abandoned
the place.... lol  
Everything seems to be running top-notch now
on the miners now that they have a dedicated service line.
(not just a dedicated circuit breaker, that made little difference)
Coffee pot, toaster, vacuum, water pump, or anything that
disrupts the current does indeed effect the miners hashrate.
On the graph, it straightened out the line instead of looking like
a rollercoaster...
Not not a drastic change in speed, but it's worth a dozen satoshi's a day at minimum.
So... if you plan on mining as more than a hobby....
keep it in mind.  

*Edit... actually, right now, my 3 hour average at the pool
is about 50 GH/s higher than normal, as is the 12-hour average...
(9 boards for 1289 Gh/s is 143/board...perfect!)



BTW:
Cointerra is saying mid February for Batch 1 Tear-the-money-from-your-wallet-Miner...!
Hashfast is sayin' Mid December for Batch 1 Baby Jetgusher...!
I don't feel any others are even worth mentioning....lol
Looks as if both CT & HF are taking March orders now....
and HF is asking the same price for a March unit,as they charged for a December unit....  OMG
Those Guys in So-Cal are smoking some good stuff...  lol
GO KNC!

[vesperwillow]

Hey I have an idea, and I mean maybe it's not a breakthrough but, how about folks stop multi-quoting the same 24,949 connector pictures over and over? It's polluting the page and killing someone's server bandwidth needlessly. Just quote the relevant portion of /text/.

 

[Bogart]

I have a pile of ATX bridge/jumper plugs for sale if anyone needs:



I used to have them listed on bitmit, but alas bitmit is no more.

If anyone wants one, send me a PM.  I'll sell 'em for around $3 + shipping, or less if you think that's too much.

I also have 8 of the 10-pin shrouded IDC pinheaders left that I don't need:



Again PM me if you want a couple.  I don't need much for 'em.  Just something to cover the effort and shipping cost.

[tolip_wen]

So all I need is some of these + the pins + a crimp tool (why is it so expensive?)

You don't need a high dollar AMP crimping tool.
Many auto parts stores have inexpensive crimp kits for the tool, and might even have terminals that will work.

Your parts lookup skills are commendable.

I don't know if it is in your comfort zone but you could open the PSU and solder in a jumper.

Cleanest look obtainable.

YMMV
