Yeah I am not going to do the solder job with my 58 year older double cataract surgery. I had this made up to attach 8 pcie cables.
Flat out I can tell you the ground bars are better then any other method to attach pcie cables.
I don't solder I use breakout boards and grounding bars
those were what I have on hand. they are small grounding bars 13 holes. these were done with gridseed blades and were great. then modded to do avalon 4.1
the link I gave has 27 holes per ground bar at 7 bucks each.
so 14 bucks for 2 ground bars.
If he has mad dog solder skills the psu never moves on the mount board and the grounding bars are rock solid. Only issue is pcie cables.
But if I had 240 watt power I would just buy your breakout board and be done with it.
Sorry Philip, but I guess you just haven't tried the double-sided PCI-e boards like J4bberwock's yet. It is infinitely better than any other solution (including the grounding bars) because it is quick to connect, easily moved around/changed, and secure, unlike any of the screw-down terminals. And for the amount of space your mounting solution is taking up, you could just as easily run a 2880W PSU!
Everyone has 240V, it's just convincing your wife to go eco-friendly and air dry all the laundry so you can instead burn up the power with a miner.
A ) I said if I had 240 I would use the boards and not solder.
B ) I have a gas dryer a gas oven.
C ) I have a circuit that I can convert to 240 volts and I know how to do it. Just lazy.
I also have drawn the conclusion that this winter passing is the end of my 6kwatt mining in house setup So I won't need to convert that circuit back to 240 volt.
No connection to any board is as sturdy as a connection to those grounding bars and the shame of it is.
a simple breakout board that would have allowed easy hook up to grounding bars would be safer.
Since the psu would be rock solid along with the grounding bars. Knock an s-5 off of a shelf or an sp20 off of a shelf and your breakout board takes a hard hit.
Knock the same miner of a shelf and those grounding bars are rock solid with 0 stress to a rock solid mount psu.
A psu with 2500 plus watts.
