If you still wanna use CX600M. Buy extension cables, and cut them instead.
You can wire Antminers with only cables too.

Oh nice. So 3x 12V and 3x Ground are needed per board = 6x 12V and 6x Ground in total?

That means I can just remove the CPU connectorand attach 3x 12V and 3x ground to one of the boards, right?



Im not sure if you can remove it without damaging the molex.
But price wise. CX750M doesnt cost much more than CX600M?

CX600M is £53.54: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1390423038&sr=1-1&keywords=CX600M

I can buy this extension cable and remove its connector, thus not damaging the PSU cable, right: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/StarTech-8-inch-ATX12V-4-pin-P4-CPU-Power-Extension-/290992276563?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item43c07dc453

I bought 6 Antminers, so would rather buy PSUs that can be used without any modifications.
And because I will probably mine for 1-2 months and then sell them I need 6 PSUs and not 3 big ones.

I'm using these:

No issues thus far.

CX750M has 2 PCIE. OC no problem.

Yes, but it is a bit overkill for me. I wonder why they didn't make the CX600M with 2 cables as well.


You dont need to use PCIE for 12V. As long as the other blade is powered by separate cables, you will be fine.

I know, but I see no other option. Even if I use 2xMolex to 1xPCI-E adapter all the current is being drawn through one cable again, because there is only 1 Molex cable with CX600M.


You can use the 8pin 12V thats suppose to be for the CPU. Either cut it and use 3x12V & 3xGND or look for a adapter.

guys should I make payment for new order to Bitmain without signing the message on my bitcoin client?
it wont let me sign as it says the "Private key for the entered address is not available"  (and Im entering bitmain's address)

sorry for the second message but need to do this now or never
thanks

You shouldn't have to sign anything.  Further, you can't sign a message with someone else's public key.  You sign messages with one of your own private keys.

Corsair CS650M  Semi-Modular 80+ GOLD Certified Power Supply
not expensive
quiet
80+ Gold
2x PCI-E Wink

You mean CX600M?

is there a 2nd PCI-E cable and where do you connect it?

No, the CS650M is a different power supply with a different topology. There are two PCIe cables.

Even with the scenario that you start mining now you're never going to have profit with this.

Please recommend a cheap, but good quality semi or fully modular PSU.
I'm currently looking at Corsair CX600M, but it only comes with 1x PCI-E cable with 2 connectors, which might be dangerous.

I've seen other people post that they have been using the Corsair CX600M without issues.  Anybody else want to chime in on this model for 1 S1?  Thanks.

I am still undecided on a PSU.
What is the maximum DC current used by the miner when overclocked at 200GH/s?
Is a 600W power supply with 480W on the 12V enough, or it is s close cut?

I was told Thermaltake Hamburg 530W should work fine even overclocked. It also has 2 PCIe connectors and is not too expensive.
