If I were doing it and wanted something nondestructive, it wouldn't be too hard to crimp a 6-pin into a ring terminal, then use short bolts to lock 'em onto your PSU cables and tape the connections.

yes, this possible too, without changing anything in both psu and ants.
thanks.

You will probably need to rewire and split to make PCI-e ends. Or you could jury rig the +V to the +V on the connectors. It would work but its not something i would do. Maybe you could find some kind of breakout board that you could connect all the + to one bolt and all the ground to the other and then connect PCI-e cables on it.

thanks.
I found this kit:
http://www.amazon.com/Gigampz-Adapter-Bitcoin-Antminer-ASICMiner/dp/B00OPDU6FW
but this is expensive. I think the best solution as you mentioned is rewire the psu.

Pretty sure thats a breakout board for a different PSU. I dont see how you could make this work with the one you have.

Oh. I thought this is universal kit and i can use it for my psu.

Yeah its definitively not. Its for the DSP-800 as per title name.

Easiest way would be to solder those screw terminals to the S5.

Thanks. I'll do this.

Or you could just undervolt the S4 and run it at 1TH/s and use 0.6W/GHS instead of 0.5W/GHS like the S5.

This is just psu. chains are broken.
Also i can run 2 s5 with this psu and get about 2.2TH !
