^yes.

ive been asked a few times - these are still for sale and selling fast!

When these run out of stock I will make that known. As of now, there are still about 200x 24" leads and 60x 6" M-F-M splitters

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...
I just want to say I have used these cables from klondike and they work well.   Fast shipment and great communication.


By the way I am the guy who can make dual 16awg splitters or combiners, with a bit of magic.  Wink

60$ isn't actually that bad with Swedish standards, high taxes makes most stuff seem reasonable lol Cheesy I need to find out if my current cables will work out for the S3s I've ordered, if they end up being sub par I shall be returning!


Also for anyone looking for a server supply where it's easy to solder cables I can recommend the HP DPS-1200FBA (need to find exact model nr to find them on ebay, example 438202-001, 440785-001, 441830-001). The big drawback is that it is only rated for 900W@120V rather than the 1200W you get at 230V. But it's 80+ platinum and a lot easier to work with than some other supplies I've seen mentioned around here.


thanks for the tip.

I suggest using 208/240V whenever possible. you improve PSU efficiency by about 5%, which for a few kW can pay off the cost of a 240 breaker and outlet with the savings over a few months. plus, power supplies can usually push an extra couple watts

How outrageous would the shipping be for 50~ cables to northern Europe (Sweden)?

roughly~
4 day tracked - $110
surface parcel (8-14 days?) - $60

shipping overseas is pricey. if you want to check quotes with other couriers, or to other countries, 50 cables is about 11.25"x9"x2.5" and 2.75kg (~6lbs), shipping from m6k2z6, toronto

Curious, what would you suggest is the best setup using a GigAmpz board with two of the new S3?s  They can use 2x or 4x PCIE now, with 4x recommended for overclocking.

Would using 2 levels of splitters or a splitter on the end of the 24" 16awg with two per screw terminal work better?

two levels of splitter is a bad idea, the resistivity will add up and youll see increased heat and voltage drop on the wires.

Honestly, I dont know whether it would be better to use a single 16awg lead per PCB or to use a lead+splitter per PCB. Adding a splitter means more wire resistance, but also means less resistance within the PCB's copper traces by spacing out the 12V and GND power inputs more effectively to the chips. I would lean slightly towards using the splitter, but until i test out for myself i cant say for sure.

Always exercise saution with cables and check that they do not get hot. The 18awg should support 125W without a problem, but use discretion. A cramped cabling run with no ventilation will be more risky then an installation where the cables receive a little bit of airflow

Two alternative setups for the gigampz boards: you can fit 2 16awg wires per terminal if you need to balance larger loads.




This is what happens when you use adapters with thin wires unable to carry a load. notice this is an 8pin ATX to 6pin PCIe adapter that burnt up under 200w load, probably only a 22awg wire at best. it even melted into a nearby fan wire.



notice the difference between the burnt-out adapter and the 18awg y-splitter I sell. There is also a 16awg tip from the 24" cable visible, which is a little bit thicker again.

Complain about 18awg PCI-e cables on ebay... then offer 18awg splitters  Huh
Wouldn't the splitters need to be 16awg as well to match the PCI-e cables that you offer?
(Serious question, I'm not an electric guy...)

I have a gigampz & PSU that is currently running a single Antminer S1, but I would like to split the other 2 leads from the gigampz to power 2 Asicminer Cubes.
Any input on if these splitter cables would work for that without dying in a fire?


I couldnt get splitters made with 16awg since two wires wouldn't fit in the single crimp pin. I advise a lot of caution using splitters especially for high amperage draws.

that said, these use thick wires. I once had an ebay splitter with 18awg wires burst into flames, and on post-mortem inspection forund that the wires were not nearly the correct thickness - they were measly little strands of aluminum. These splitters are much better, and actually resemble the quality of splitters that often come with mid-range GPUs and can handle some actual draw.

Ill post some more pictures in just a minute, but I can confirm two things:
1) you can use two cables and 2 splitters to have 4 PCIe plugs off a gigampz board with one wire per screw terminal. looks good and (i havent tested yet) should be ideal for two antminer S1 units
2) with the untinned 16awg wires, you can actually twist two together and fit them into the screw terminals, thus putting 4x 24" leads on a single gigampz board without the need for splitters

OP is updated with the new cables photos and pricing.

The splitters look great and I personally will be using a pair of 24" leads with a splitter on each so that I can run 2 antminers per DPS800 PSU (using gigampz board). The non-tinned ends also make these a bit easier to work with since the tinned stuff was stiff and unable to twist together very easily.

Can you make these with a male plug on one end and a female plug on the other? Interested in some for extensions.
same

I don't se why not, but it may not be until next batch.   The Y-splitters may act well as extensions

I I just got pricing for a new batch of 24" 16awg wires with 0.75cm stripped ends - in bulk I can do 50/$90 or 100/$160, plus shipping (around $25 4-7day ground or $45 and its 2-3 day express, but i would have to confirm the exact weight/cost.  I can probably be reshipping next week, likely by tuesday.

I can also order Y-splitters made with 18awg (M-F-M) for 10/$25, 25/$40.


I am also selling smaller quantities at the same pricing model as the 30cm/1' cords, so consider the extra 1' length a feature of having a more dedicated bulk customer base Wink

Any chance of you getting 8 pin cables?

I dont see much point in an 8pin cable - no ASIC hardware uses them, and most GPUs use only 6pin anyhow. The extra 2 pins are both black GND wires and AFAIK the GPUs with 8pin sockets will run fine with only a 6pin cable

Got 10 r9 290s that I have to connect both the 8 pin and the 6 pin power connectors.

I'm interested in possibly picking up some of these (8?, enough for 4 Antminer S1's). Any ETA on when these will be available?
