PSU using 6 pin in Zeusminer 8 pin PCIE females?

[paramind22]

Anyone know with an Zeusminer ASIC if you can use 6 pin GPU PSU cables into the PCIe 8 pin female plus in the Zeusminer?   Also, for this
miner to work, do all the blades need to be plugged in?

If they can't fit you can always do something about it. When i was modding server psu in order to power gpus i took 24pin motherboard connector and cut it in order to get 6 pin ones. They were not fitting on gpus so I took a blade and cut them a bit (just edges) so they fit since they are square and rounded pins. You can try to do the same if they dont fit.

Thanks.  I just saw I could get the 6 pin to 8 pin connectors for $3.* postage paid, which is a lot less than $15 locally.

Does anyone know if all the blades need to be plugged in, since this has 5 blades?

i had no problems with 6 or 8 pins.

seems each miner was made slightly different...some needed each plug connected, some had jumpers from board 1 to 2 and 3 to 4...
some had the case fans spliced in...

only way to tell is unscrew the lid.

Thanks.  I had a local hardware guy say that you couldn't put six hole plugs into  8 hole sockets, but you're saying
you did that without a problem?

This is the current error message I've been getting.  I installed the USB to UART drivers after
getting this but the batch file makes use of a com port which is new to me running cgminer.
What is that white 2 fan early model officially called, just a zeus scryptminer? It doesn't have
anything on it but "Zeus."

Anyone know why mine has two sets of wires, the previous owner who didn't know much said
something about for an external fan.

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u brainstormer.1 -p xxx --zeus-chips 4 --zeus-clock 328

That is one script I'm using.

this is the original one:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u yourworker.1 -p password --zeus-chips 6 --zeus-clock 328 --scan-serial //./COM1

Not sure if the clock setting is for the blizzard only.
