I'm trying to buy the breakout board, but I don't know where. Please help Huh

If you contact padrino here on the forums, he always seems to have a bunch of these on hand:

I literally bought 10 from him last week - the breakouts are definitely the way to go IMO, and I love the 2880, it's a great supply...

Yeah the breakout boards look perfect for the job, I'm in the EU so would be best for me to get them from J4bberwock, unfortunately I think he is very busy at the moment.

I have boards and full packages in stock at this time as well, both the 2880W and 4K setups.

Anyone in the EU happen to have these available and if so how many?

Need some breakout boards and cables. Anyone in the EU selling? I am in UK and new to this forum.
Thanks

Is this working for gpus?

it could be made to work but you still need an atx psu to run the pc

Correct, or you can also use a "Pico PSU" to provide power to the motherboard, and use powered risers and provide power to the cards by PCIe cables. The PICO PSU is powered by 12V so it can also be run from a PCIe cable from the breakout board.

if you know how to wire this correctly

I think it could work with the breakout board.

make sure to use 2 cables per gpu as a gpu will use around 180-240 watts and one wire is hard to handle over 200 watts.

Hello,

As I have bought one of these Kits in the Past.
What a great Power supply and Breakout Board. Works Flawless.
Except for the Jet Engine in my basement.... LOL....

Now I have Inspired My Self to Ethereum mining, Off of a PC.

I would like to run the rig from this power supply.
As this Breakout board only has PCI Slots, I would also need a Motherboard power cable.
Do you have a way to do this? Or How would I do this?

I think I had seen I would still need a Power Supply for the Mother Board. I can't imagine there isn't a wire, or something???
Please let me know....

Thanks For your time.

https://www.amazon.com/Mini-PicoPSU-150-XT-DC-DC-power-supply/dp/B0045WFZSQ?

the part I listed above needs for you to supply it with 12 volt power so take a pcie jack from your 2880

plug this into it

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-6-Pin-to-2-2-1mm-DC-Barrel-Plug-for-Gridseed-Blade-ASIC-/262471607932?

plug this in the amazon part and boom it works or boom it shorts ie make sure you know the dc is +- correct.

So the two parts should do the trick. it is up to you to set them up correctly.

I suggest using a cheap meter to check your polarity

https://www.amazon.com/General-Hand-held-Multimeter-Transistor-Function/dp/B00066ZZO4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_469_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51M6I%2Bsk0DL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=5PSDH7J44KWMYY71YYZT

Ok, Yes I understand.

But really I would need more then this...

As this takes care of the Motherboard 24pin Slot, my mother board also has two 4pin slots.
So how do I solve that, will a 6 pin to a 8 pin work, or do I need a 6 pin to two 4pin cpu slot?
The Pico-Box only has 1 4pin???
Then I will need 6 pin to sata/molex for mother board power GPU Slots, Risers and Hard Drive's.

Am I missing anything else?

Thanks for your time.

Still not sure what to do about the 2 4 pin power...

Also, Is 150-160 Watts going to be enough watts to power a Motherboard, Cpu and Cpu Fan Huh

?

Thanks

I suggest very little on this because If you do it wrong you will kill the mobo.

So lets take this from a different direction.

On you mobo what are you looking to run?

better yet what is your mobo?

You can not run a large mobo with a lot of cards using a pico-psu.

So if you are looking to run 4 pcie gpus and a big beats of an eth mining unit.

the effort to adapt the 2880 to your needs is not much of a money saver and as you know will run loud.

there are ways to do what you want but they involve a lot of adapters and won't save you the money you want to save.

below will do 5 cards
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-120-G2-1300-XR/dp/B00COIZTZM/ref=sr_1_1?

the frankenstein 2880

needs the pico cost 40 need the power adapter I found cost 15 = 65

it will provide a four pin for your mobo not a 8 pin so if you have a big cpu and want to drive a lot of cards you will have issues. and be really loud.

the wiring is complicated and you are telling me you don't really know how.

that is good since you do not want to kill off gear.

but if you are buying 4 or 5 or 6 gpus get the evga 1300g2 and do not worry much.

me I never build bigger then a four card rig. i build 3 and 4 card rigs as open rigs
I build 2 card rigs as gamer miners.

I have fucked around with enough psu's to know I would most likely not try what you want to try.
the wires will be sloppy and the build will not be neat.

Ok, that Makes sense...

Sometimes I just need to talk them out, to understand..... If you get my Drift.

I do understand what you are talking about, the amount of Adapters is crazy.
I do understand Polarity and wiring.
But technology moves quick, and terminology of hardware changes by the second...

I agree will look sloppy,
I did find a 4 pin Y cable, that would most likely solve that problem.

Looking at 3-4 cards, Sapphire r7 370's. Right now 1 on the MB with 2 risers.
MB: ASROCK H81 PRO BTC.
EVGA 1300W Power Supply

That is the exact power supply I have connected to it right now, that you Linked...

Since the 2880 PS, is next to My Open frame Ethereum Rig, I was just wanting to us that.
I could free up the EVGA 1300w for something else.

I was more worried about the 150 Watts of the Pico powering the MB.
Could all ways us a Cheap Power supply for the MB, and Power the PCI Cards with the 2880.
But I do understand, that power fluctuations can be a problem Huh

?
But have seen MANY rigs using Dual PS...

Thanks For your Time...
Needed somewhere to think this thru...

DaPlayer Thanks You....

So who do i call to get those boards or the 4k BB packs in EU? I need to power up knc titan's so i need those plus small atx i suppose to power up knc controller

What value is that resistor??? with the insulating tube on it, I just cannot make out the color bands.

I have a 2980W power supply........ the solder tracing looks abit different, I hope the pinout for that resistor is still the same.

anyone know how to reduce fan rpm? they are loud

I don’t know much about these either but looks like it needs some sort of proprietary power connector. So one guy was looking to open up a PSU and re-pin the leads. Something about it in this link: Repin a PSU for Supermicro X8DTT server [url]
