Topic: Klondike K16 build - USB and power connections - page 2. (Read 1951 times)
I'll use to diykit to setup the first miner then daisychain the rest
I'm useing this 7 port powered hub:

I got it awhile ago for some BE's but it didn't fair well for them even with a 5 volt 20 amp powersupply feeding it.
But it does just fine for my 6 Klondikes with the stock 2.6 amp wallwort
The fans on the miners need power from either a 4 pin molex or 2-3 pin fan connector & your going to want a fan on the backside too,it really helps.
Here's some pics of the cables I made:
4 pin molex:
6 pin PCIE:
Good luck!!

The power connector is a 6 pin PCI-E connector same connector that is found on some video boards.
I don't think the I2C is working yet so if you have requested your units as is your going to need some USB ports.
The K16 uses +12volts and I would allow about 4 amps to 5 amps per K16. So if my power supply was rated for 12 volts at 40 amps I would not connect more than 10 in fact I probably would start with 8 and see how that went.

ask terrahash about cooling info he had some heatsinks
So, as some of us may be receiving the Klondikes (K16) soon, How should we connect, say 10 of them together?
Best case scenario that the klondikes are provided with some basic power connectors/wiring.
I don't even know what power connector is exactly on the K16 or what power cord is coming with it.

I also noticed this thread for cooling 38 Klondikes-

Links to USB Hubs, pictures of setups, and Power Cable Splicing ideas wanted!
