For god shake! How the fuck did you find that?? You are awesome! Wow. I'm a genius? Actually, I researched online for a few hours trying to source that copper bar. Then I gave up walked around home depot with a power supply and started jamming shit into it until something fit  I also made a power on plug using a PCI slot cover/rosewill case part and some electric tape... 0 Soldering required for the whole setup:  |

I just wanted to ask you whether the part of your power connector gets in good contact with the psus connector, since there is a hole on your bar. There is enough current (60A) and you have to make sure there is a good contact between your copper connector and the psu. |

I decided to stop being scared and solder. I have never been good at it, but this was simple and I actually did a good job. Both my PSUs now power on.

Pin's 1 and 3 on the bottom row are what the OP is bridging with solder. I received 10 of these PSU's and didn't feel like disassembling them all so I used a lazy mans method I cut out spots for pins 1 & 3 and put that in with the cutouts facing down. |

Jason, tape your copper brackets as they may contact the metal frame of the Psu and may arc causing damage. They are low voltage 12v , so you can touch them to see if are hot or not. If are hot make sure they are contacting well. Check yor wires temp. What size did you use? |

I used 14 awg wire for the main lines coming from PSU. Those are barely warm at all. I used 16 awg from the three leads coming from each main lead and they are not warm at all. |

Very nice tutorial! We have been using Corsairs but we may be switching to a cheaper PSU!

So I am running one of these right now to power 2 ants. Something interesting happen last night. Both miner on it stopped mining for almost 45 minutes. Then it started up again. On it's own. I was just in there checking things out and something happened like it again. Is it possible the power supply is overheating and then running itself way down to cool then turning back up full power again? Check the graph here: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1HeeAZ7SU3uprNFvZU6NxPf35u358iUZVF. See that dip? |

Are you running two overclocked? EDIT: and was there a pool outage? |
