Pin 35 (Top) is the 5v you want. Don't use 29 that is a digital logic signal not a power rail as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the heads-up on that. Makes it even easier to solder a cable to as it's right there on top. Seconds. Thank you. -Sean |

We are sold out of the power supplies but still have plenty of boards in-stock.

Will you be carrying the power supplies again or are they permanently out of stock?

The power supplies can be found on eBay or other places for less than $20 shipped. The key here is this board makes plugging one in and using it so simple that don't hesitate to buy one. I've bought two of the cards from Gigampz and the power supplies from elsewhere. The cards are AWESOME! Don't hesitate to buy one. |

I've purchased 4 so far. I was just asking because it's easier to purchase everything together. Also, he's only a couple hours away so i get it next day and i don't have to use paypal  |

I don't worry about getting things all together.
I just use whatever currency and payment method is cheapest to get what I want.

I have several of these kits in production. They have been in production for 2+ weeks now without a problem (except overloading a UPS).
I have 4 Antminer S1s sitting sideways on a 29" deep rack shelf. At the time I did not think of rubber feet, so I stood the supplies on their sides and wire tied them to the shelf. I have also used a wire tie to keep the miners where I want them on the shelf.
This is my setup I run at work. It is half my farm. To protect it from the work network traffic (and vice versa), I have put the miners on a separate vlan.

Yes, we've got 50 on order and will be back in stock in a few days. We have supplies back in stock, though now we are low on boards and out of cables, we have more of both on order. |

Are you still out of boards? If so, what's the ETA on restocking? We are still out of stock. Our best estimate right now is 3 weeks before we get more. We were expecting a shipment of 160 boards from our manufacturing partner but it looks like UPS lost the package. If that turns up we may have more sooner than 3 weeks. |

This may be an odd thing to say, but it's nice to see a company who designed a product and is actually having it manufactured and is selling it be out of stock on things.
This means you did something very right!
Keep making great product!
Everyone else, be very patient, these boards are completely worth it.

I would think with all the S3s that are about to show they wiil be busy filling new orders. I will certainly be picking up a couple more as soon as they are back in stock as my S1 setup is working great with this board.
Thanks for the great product..

I received my boards a couple of weeks ago, they work like a charm, thanks! I would kindly want to make two suggestions: First you should add a 5V feed, it would be extremely helpful for people using Rasberry Pi or powered USB hub. I hadn't used a solder for 12 years and I almost destroyed my card.  Second, this PSU can easily power two S3s or two Rocketboxes but there are not enough connectors for eight PCI-e cables, so could you use a different terminal connector? Keep up the good work. Cheers!!  |

I squeeze in 2x16 awg wires into each screw terminal on the power supply side, and it's been working pretty well. On the S3, since there isn't a screw terminal on the Ant side anymore, this will be a bit of a challenge.
Maybe 16 awg pci-e cables will do the trick using 4 wires instead of 6?
Or maybe a new version of the adapter will have larger terminals to hold more wires?

If you check out the S3 specs you only need one 6-pin connector per blade when you are running at stock clock speeds. Unclear what the power requirements will be when over clocking. I've got one on order so I can experiment with it ant let you guys know what works. We'll see. |

Right. A single 6-pin = 6 wires, 3 for + and 3 for GND. Right now, I am running 2 for + and 2 for GND, per blade.

I'm not sure I understand the question; You can fit 4 6-pin PCIe cables per board by doubling up the wires per contact. 12 contacts total and 24 wires for 4, 6 pin cables.  |

You are right, I miscounted the number of terminals on the board.
