Thank you, sir, that splitter will do quite nicely as I have plenty of spare wattage. PLUS this will enable me to light up another pretty LED on my PSU!

So double thanks .... my little kids enjoy all the lights and such. Your time is certainly valuable and I appreciate you sparing some for me!

If your kids really like LED's i suggest changing radiator fans

. For not much money you can get 6 light up spinning LED fans.

And no problem on my time I enjoy bitcoin and sharing it with others

My C1 cooling system has everything (3 fans at radiator & 1 pump) congregating to a 6 Pin male PCIe. The diagram that came with the cooling system shows this PCIe plugging into the top of the miner onto one of the boards. If I do this, I will not have power from my PSU going there .... is this correct?

I thought I had to occupy all eight ( Cool

PCIe female ports on top the miner with PCIe power cables from my PSU.

Love bitcoin and tech stuff so wanted to dive in head first. Just doing this for fun and to support community.

FYI - I bought a Rosewill 1300 watt lightning for a PSU.

Thank you kindly for your time and anticipated replies.

That was one of the designs and it takes power from the board (which still has the other PCI-e cable on it). Did it work yes, but not my favorite way to get power.

I personally like this power adapter that takes a molex and goes to 3 pin adapters. It does not take power from one of the boards and is all powered outside of the C1: http://www.amazon.com/Phobya-4-Pin-3-Pin-Splitter-Connection/dp/B007S3T4O0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1427458923&sr=8-5&keywords=3+pin+to+molex
