It only has 1 PCIE 6+2 cable,you need 2 seperate cables,1 per board.Drawing 400 watts on one cable is NOT good,the cable CAN burn up ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Go with the CX 600,it has 2 PCIE cables & is ALOT cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&cm_re=CX_600-_-17-139-028-_-Product

Nice find!!!! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) The problem with most PSU's is ALL wires are black.................got to use a voltmeter to be SURE of + & - ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

The connector shape can not fit if plug it in wrong direction.

It won't work. I had one of these. With only one cable, the cable gets too hot and the unit shuts down or it will just melt the cable and connector. You need a unit with 2 PCIE cables. I would suggest more wattage as well just to have some buffer.

The connector shape can not fit if plug it in wrong direction. Maybe so,BUT,have YOU made your own cables ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I have & am anal about getting it right the FIRST time ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Not all PSU's have the 8 pin CPU pinouts the same as PCIE,some actually reverse the wires outside the PSU (the cables),some reverse the wires inside. Remember I didn't say all,I said most ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) & there's no way to tell if the wires are all black,except with a volt meter. If you want to just plug & hope it's correct,be my guest,I can't afford to "experiment" with several thousand dollars worth of mining gear. @ siampumpkin: Thanks for the info,I'll just make my cables,if needed ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I hope all of you enjoy this holiday ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) While waiting for my HEX16A2, i make power connector for the miner which will get power from EPS 12V connector from PSU. I use EPS 12 V because my PSU not fully modular & come with 2X EPS 12V connector, so waste to not use them ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Seasonic M12II Bronze 620W Buy cheap ATX 20 to 24 pin converter on ebay to make the connector ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs26.postimg.org%2Fdv63nxa11%2Fatx.jpg&t=665&c=8yeDT_JkQ6Xjdg) Then cut down the require segment that match EPS 12V connector, replace the cable to meet power requirement. Base on observation with HEX16A, using only 1 wire, the yellow wire on PSU side is little warm. So i decided to use two wire & use 1,5 mm2 wire on miner side so loshia won't scold me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So whenever the HEX16A2 come with molex or terminal screw, it's doesn't matter ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ................

EPS & PCIEX had different shape. They should not had same shape pinout. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.overclock.net%2Fa%2Fac%2F1000x2000px-LL-ac82eb1d_pinout.png&t=665&c=IM_Rkh9tgMDMsg)

Some folks have forced those plugs & made them connect,only to set the magic smoke free.....be careful folks!!! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
