S7 Pros. I have the following question
My 240V outlets won't be ready until next week but I have the S7 today with the 120V EVGA G2 1300W PSU with plenty of extra dual Ported PCI-E cables from other purchases. The EVGA G2 only have 6 VGA connections for PCI-E but with the Dual ports it will be more than sufficient to meet the 10 PCI-E requirement. That being said, will it work with my EVGA G2 PSU running at 120V and what is the best way to connect it to unit?
not a pro, but this is what had worked for almost 3 mo already.
DO ALL connections with PSU OFF:
1. attach two PCIE splitters to two "single" red cables (one per ea).
2. Connect "doubles" from the same cord (with split heads) to position 1, 2 on the left board (left when looking from input toward exaust).
3. Connect "doubles" from the second cord with split heads to pos 1,2 on the middle board.
3. Connect a single cord to position #1 on the right board
4. Connect a single cord to position #2 on the right board
5. Connect split heads from PCIE split extender to position #3 on left and middle board.
6. Connect one of the split heads from the second red cable with installed extenders to position #3 on the right board AND to controller.
7. connect ethernet cable
8. Switch power ON on PSU.
That said, i am not sure that cables from other PSU would work properly on EVGA-I never tested this.
Of course, you can replace an EVGA single with EVGA double from another PSU (EVGA 1300)
Some people swear that EVGA 1300 can support up to 1440W at the wall.
I only run it as high as 1345W (at the wall) and it worked at least for a few hours.
Typically, I tried to stay below 1300W, which may be too cautious.
