Thanks for the write-up, I might try this. The adapter you bought uses screw terminals, any concerns using these long term? I was originally thinking of soldering wire to a connector.
well the plug is rated for 10amps and 12 volts = 120 watts.
now that the unit is running on the gold leadex psu it has never gone over 102 watts.
it swings from 86 to 102 which should be okay.
I am thinking of finding a titanium as I have a few and see if I drop to 79-95 watts.
I used 16 gauge copper wire with the dc adapter about 2 feet long
Maybe it is 14 but It is at least 16 gauge.
should handle 13 amps or 13a x 12v = 156 watts.
so I feel okay with the tip and the wire.
I will try to photo this a bit more tomorrow.
i would think if you have a big psu like an evga 1600 watt plat ot titan you could likely do 9 of these grins and save 110 to 140 watts for the 10 pieces
I like playing with lower powered gear for mining.
these units scale well compared to the top of the line model.
price power efficiency are very close
30 x 300 = 9000k which was the price for the big model
30 x 1.2 = 36 which is the hash rate for the big model
30 x 111 = 3330 which is just about the watt use for the big model.
Here in the usa the small one can legally beat import tax.
if you get 2 or 3 of them.
I think I can do 3 more maybe 6 more. but surely 3 more.
