All I did was tell Searing he did not need to replace his PSU because he has Y's coming...
and the sharp sticks appear poking one another.
One big happy fambly

EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK @ THEIR CABLES to 'KNOW' what AWG is used.
Things change and not all are created equal, even with same model #.
Blanket statements about models, brands, AWG etc. should be verified if possible.
The whole consumer modular PSU issue sux!
I already owned my LAST(never again) modular PCIe PSU for a miner long before the Nep shipped.
It is a SAFETY issue not limited to use with any brand of miner.
2kW server PSU delivered to door USD $50
Breakout board for 2kW PSU USD $60
(DIY folks can use $15 connector and solder wires direct)
16AWG PCIe cables ~$5 each.
Power cable for PSU USD $10
You also need a fan to cool the PSU $20
I use 4kW(2 2kW PSU) per Nep for 92% PSU efficiency.
I can run a nep on 1 PSU if I need to. <<--not recommended
The DPS-2000BB from ebay (watch out for shipping costs!)
The breakout board from sidehack/Gekkoscience.
PCIe cables from sidehack or CABLEZ.
The preorder period is over, he is assembling and shipping
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637595.0The only downside is the 2kW PSU are 220VAC.
For an extra ~$100 you could MAKE 220VAC @ home in the USA with two 110VAC outlets.
(The biggest cost is 12/3 extension cords you may already have)
Many 120VAC folks already use extension cords, same as DIY 220VAC.
There are also 750W server PSU solution bundles available.
4 @ 750 for a nep gives you one spare in a pinch.
IMneverHO
it is the better solution also @ lower total cost!
If your 'Plan A' does not include a 'Plan B' (spares when possible) it is a flawed Plan A.
Unless you just mine as a hobby...............
YMMV
