Else question .
I that will turn on psu after s3 how long in time will turn on s3 ?
S3 takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes to start mining. Green , how long in time greening ?

I'm afraid most of the that don't will hot cables
Don't be, been using speaker wire over a year. No problems at all. On all of my PSUs The term 'speaker wire' is kind of vague. Speaker wire can vary in gauge. It may be, but logic would dictate you can't stick large speaker wire into small holes. I've seen speaker wire that's a good 16 gauge but you'll find lesser stuff too. Can't go wrong with 16 gauge 15 amp extension cord wire with ends cut off as long as you don't confuse polarity. I've seen speaker wire with clear insulation have one conductor stranded copper and the other some silver colored stranded so there's that but extension cords have one conductor ribbed. The ribbed conductor is always neutral in a 120vac application but I always make that the red and the non-ribbed black, kind of revers of the AC application.

I have used different types of speaker wire, they ALL work fine. Even used some a wire that, don't know the gauge, ran from the A/C to the board on the furnace. WORKS great. Don't over complicate the a simple fix.

What? a simple piece of wire, speaker or other, is used for a jumper. If you use old wire on a new machine, that's not smart. Your over complicating it.

You mean for the jumper on a computer power supply motherboard connection to fool the power supply into acting as if it is connected to a motherboard. I misunderstood. I power my S3's with extension cord wire to PCIE connectors from switching supplies that have screw type barrier strips for the output. So, an S3 is going to have 4 connections each good for 15 amps.

i don;t undestand , what talking.
Tell me one good Which is better?
A paperclip is fine to use. I have used that method on dozens of PSU's. Nothing will get hot. If you don't feel comfortable with that, there are the Antminer jump switches you can purchase. Or you can buy a switch with BTC from Cablez ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

seriously - the paper clip technique is not a big deal - theres literally milliwatts of power at the most that travel through it - it wont short out to anything (its already GRN-GND), it takes 5seconds and <$0.01 to do (paperclip, thin wire, etc will work)

True. I wouldn't run it without the resistor to a low voltage pin. KnC had a problem early on with Jupiters blowing up a capacitor. My theory is that without the actual motherboard the low voltage wasn't there for a start up current ramp and as a result some power supplies hit the miner with voltage much higher than 12vdc blowing up the cap. Look for this on ebay "JUMP START EPS/ATX 24 PIN POWER SUPPLY WITHOUT A MOTHERBOARD MADE IN USA"

so one of my blades dropped off.. i went to checked and found this ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8805%2F17064397165_e629aa0744_b.jpg&t=665&c=7HHAWuTPPR890g) the s3 wasnt overclocked, im running 2 on a Seasonic X850 with 4 PCI-E cables with 2 ends each so all 8 are filled.. the main ones are at the front and the 2nd ones at the back..so im not running 2 blades on 1 cord. i switched it out to one of those molex adapters for now.. and i put them on 200M. but i dunno what caused that to melt.. it shouldnt have been overloaded. i am fortunate because this psu has 6 8-pin pci-e spots and 5 6-pin molex. so the melted one can be avoided.

i should will use paperclip ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) i dont think you are understanding where to put the paperclip.. it is described on the first page how to set these up.. you dont have to make it so long tho.. i just used about 10mm of wire. c. As for the PC power supply, you will need 1 jumper wire to short the Power-Supply- On (active low) pin-Green to GND-Black to switch power supply ON, disconnect from GND to switch OFF. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FCGHKW4t.jpg&t=665&c=2vklIEvgT-SqHg) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fqv5HvOq.jpg&t=665&c=Y5TVecU__t4ywA)

Stop over complicating this and trying to be a pain in the ass. For that matter you can cut the wire's off the back of the plug and twist them together.
