sublime5447 damn! This is one of the most complex projects I have seen about btc
It is going to get much more complex, it is mostly for ltc. I am hoping to fit 10 rigs in the cabinet and enclose the sides with plexiglass and a large floor fan blowing up through it. My dad owns a software company that manages data centers, like billion dollar data centers, so i have access to cheap/free equipment and management software. I dont like tech stuff and didn't want to build one but got sick of trying to convince people to sell me some GD coins. The main reason that i did it is to prove who I am and what I am about. I am sick of people calling me a scammer when they are the ones who operate in darkness and don't have coins or money.

Not all of those Molex to PCIe converters are made of the same caliber parts - some use crappy/cheap 22AWG wires and other use thicker 18AWG wires. If you're trying to power 5970/6990/7970s with those cheaper 22AWG wired ones you'll have a fire. If you're running a "lowly" 7770 that pulls most of the power off the board you should be OK even with the thinner 22AWG.
The ones that came with the Sapphire 6870s and 6950s I bought have all been decent and not one has given me problems. Of course I don't pack my rigs past 4 cards per board so they probably pull less through the PCIe power (I'm not sure how the power is distributed).
NEVER use a SATA to PCIe connector - don't know who the hell thought of that idea but that is just asking for a problem since the SATA connectors were never designed to deliver that much power.
I found a 2x4 Pin Molex to 6-pin connector with 18 AWG wire. I guess that's from my old 3850, is it enough to support a 7850? given all my 6-pins connectors are used up by 3 7950. Just learned, the smaller the AWG, the better for "heavier" duty ? ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

Maybe you can push those 5870 a bit further? Good cards.
I have 4 x 5870 at 900/150/1.062v - 412 Mh/s each. Fans at 60%, temp 64C.
