Well, I guess they only need to establish an electric conductivity and support a couple of tiny mA, right? I don't see why a paper clip shouldn't do the trick or even damage your PSU! Then again, be warned, I'm no electrician or anything!

Yes it is very small thats why a paperclip is commonly used.  If put in wrong spot is the thing you have to make sure not to do.
Hey, is it OK if i use a paperclip but put it in the wrong spot?


No, if you use paperclip in wrong spots it could be bad.  You are dealing with electricity.
What if I want I don't want to put it in the right spot?

Then you could be dealing with more current.  Could possibly hurt yourself or psu.  The proper spots are important.

Uh... I think he's trying to be silly notlist3d.  Cheesy

I have a feeling so to.  Just  incase now he can't say i didnt warn him Smiley

I have a PSU shorted with a paper clip that has worked for years. Not for mining but for my electroplating rig. It does not seem to have damaged the clip or the power supply.

all it is, is a signal wire


the danger is small if you find correct holes and keep it from shorting.


Assuming you are able to do the trick i would use electrical tape to keep it in place.  If done correctly it is something many do and it works fine.  Just have to get the right pins.

but frankly  just buy this

having the switch means something on a lot of psu's  turning it off via the switch in the device above is better then turning it off via the switch on the back of the psu.

i'm using paper clips since 1 year (with TT PSUs of 850w), without problem.
Just, don't conect the wrong pins.




cheers

Me too, i'm using paper clips without problem, 6 months with ants s1.

no problem with the "paper clip" jumper  Wink
Well my jumpers are taking a bit to come in i guess i will just have to paper clip until they do, maybe i am just being over cautious due to a psu exploding last week with no load.

iv gone through 4 1000w PSUs and 2 main breakers on the Fuse box (who knew 4 HD4870 used so much power) did take over a year of maxing it all out for it to crap out.

anyway back to paperclips if your that worried then get a little bit of wire strip off both end and keep a bit of rubber in the middle. put the wire in the right slots and tape the entire 24pins up with electrical tape XD

iv used paper clips and od bits of wire for years. teres such a small current going through it it really dosnt matter what you use aslong as it can be kept securely in place

Yep if you ever look at a motherboard is it very very small gauge wire sticking up to connect power switch to it even.  As long as you get right holes its low current and many things work in its spot.
I have gone ahead and ordered some Antminer jumpers I guess out of a phobia that the paperclip will result in a short.

Only thing i would do with those is cover up solder on opposite side with electrical tape if near metal.
