Aii, good i didnt buy Cooler Master. Seems it only got 1 x PCI-e.
Heck, maybe I should just pay EUR 20 more for the corsair.

Or the server side PSU  Grin

All of mine only had 1 PCI-E..  strip the wires that power the CPU bam you have your second 12 volt rail.

I will give the Cooler Master PSU a try.
If it fails after a few weeks, well, I get warranty back. I only lose a couple days mining which is anyway just a few euros.
If it is a little bit less efficient it will still take a year or so to save back those 20eur on electricity. By then the antminer should not be profitable anymore anyway.

My CM 525 has been running my miners for a month.  Had an issue with them during a brown out...  had to shutdown the powersupplies for 2 mintues and restart them.. freaking crappy ass power in my area.

I have the option between a COOLER MASTER RS600 for Eur 30 or a CORSAIR CX500 for Eur 50.

The seller pushes the most expensive one of course, but is it really worth to pay twenty euros more?
