some day ago i got a problem in my zcash rig, only 1vga showing from total 4vga, can't showing my 3vga, trying to check anything, any cable its woking perfect, then im trying to put my vga directly on motherboard not using pcie riser, and the vga normally working perfect. so im check the power supply and i found this ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs30.postimg.org%2F5pjv23z67%2F16196090_1283195021739289_33018080495558933_n.jpg&t=665&c=z3s9f7ICmCnO8g) 1 of my pcie (sata pin connector) get charred and brokken after i force to take the cable, and the cable is burned out. im still happy other pin stil working perfect. for all miner i recomendation some instruction : 1. dont use 1 pin cable for supply more than 2 sata pcie riser 2. don't use low power supply to supply pcie riser, even if you use other big power supply to give power vga. Thanks

Yeah I melted that psu exactly like that.
USE EVGA p2's they work better

Dosent have to do with PSUs...he clearly overloaded his Molex line with 3 or 4 riser cards.

For a multi card rig, the safest is one card one, one separate molex power feed from the power supply.
I only double up the HDD and one GPU.

Mine a Seasonic Prime 750 Plantium also popped... Interesting fact the reseller said that the units have been all removed from market for no reason given.
He just payed back the money..no new units available atm. something must be gone completely wrong at Seasonic.

Very simple they insist on using 18 gauge wire. I have melted 4 or 5 jacks on seasonic psus. It is not about overloading as I melted the pcie jacks pulling 190 watts. I don't use seasonic for mining anymore. I like evga p2. Rosewill quark is good. Some corsair are good. I have two prime titanium psu a 750 and a 850.

that's surprising since seasonic has been the gold standard for i think about as far back as i can remember.. 13-14 years maybe.

Original 2013 Jupiter psu was lazy ran with KNC y adapter And ran fine 1.5 years. Blew out 2nd y adapter at the last and decided to finally check the Connections at the psu end. All kind melted lol. Got 4 out of 6 ports back and ordered pcie cables seasonic (FYI such are less then 8 bucks each at seasonic so got 4. So will use it on a regular desktop build. You maybe can do that, they are not too bad and can be 'buffed up/cleaned out some. Now use server dual psu's with dual backplate protection 15 awg wire direct plug to Titans. No issues now

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I review power supplies. Most run 18 AWG wire on the peripheral cables, regardless of OEM... never assume they'll handle much power.

I know you and read your reviews alot. The seasonic's burn on the pcie jacks a lot. This particular thread he burned a sata jack. But trust me many pcie jack burn on the seasonic and if I am right they are 18ga not 16ga. I just got a rosewill titanium from newegg yesterday the 1500 watt I got it at 250 usd (sale and coupon) it will run my pandaminer. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=501this is your review if I am correct. After reading it I thought it was worth buying

That would be me. I've got two of those Rosewills - the review unit will be pushing a 6 card rig as soon as I figure out what I'm doing for a motherboard.
Seasonic has been 18 AWG on all cables for a while now. I'm trying to gently prod them into upgrading those PCIe cables. They're amazing PSUs, but not what I run in the dedicated mining rigs because they're not really intended or built for it. That said, I have a Prime Titanium 750W running the office rig, and it does mine. It uses two single connector cables to push one downvolted 290X to get around the wire gauge issues. I've also got a Seasonic 1050W mining a three card machine temporarily until I un-lazy myself and get that Rosewill in there. Again, using as many connections between the PSU and GPUs as possible.
I actually can't remember the last time I saw peripheral cables bigger than 18 AWG, actually. Even my Super Flower 1600s use 18. That said, I usually run two risers per cable and have never had an issue provided I use them with cards that don't take a lot of slot power. For cards that do pull a lot from the slot, I get the risers with actual PCIe power connectors on them. You don't want to pull 90W out of one Molex for 24/7 use.

That would be me. That's unexpected to meet you here enjoyed your reviews a lot. Jonny any chance you can review server PSUs? Like IBM 39Y7414, HP 570493-301 and others? Would love to see them reviewed by you.

same thing with my seasonic.. i ended up burning out 4 pci-e sockets with a s5.. i had one port per socket.. i really dont think any were overloaded. sockets on the psu are just a bad design.. no matter if you run 18g or 16g or even 14g wire, the sockets can still fail. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fc1.staticflickr.com%2F2%2F1487%2F24257889080_a674b80a9d_b.jpg&t=665&c=c9QdxVRU4rHcew)

I have a first batch titan. all dies still good and i'm running original 2.0 version software. Two cubes on each power supply. about 6 months ago, The titan would just power off. I had the corsair as the primary and the evga as the secondary. this happened a couple times, it would run fine for a day, i'd come home from work and it be shut off. So i made the evga the primary and the corsair the secondary. Just the cubes connected to the corsair would shut off. I'm thinking my power supply is going bad. I swap it out with another evga 1200 p2 i had on my spare parts shelf and it's been fine since. a couple months ago, i'm reconfiguring a few miners, and i'm pulling spare cables from power supplies, and one of the pcie cables from the corsair is stuck... it was burnt and crispy in the socket.
