Topic: Question about powering BFL Single SC (Read 695 times)
I'd rather use a molex --> PCIe than a PCIe splitter. Then you have the electricity at least flowing through two different sets of 12v wiring. But to be honest, it would probably be fine either way.
yea... not trying to bash them but I wasn't exactly thrilled with BFL's response to the situation. I was told I need to "get a new PSU or ship us the bad one and wait a really long time because we are currently shipping without power supplies. sorry."
I already ordered the new PSU which was probably $20 more than it would have cost me to ship this monster back to BFL (even if they could replace it in a reasonable time).

Have you tried getting a replacement from BFL? When I got my Jalapeno, it didnt come with a USB cable like it should have, so I had to get my own. I told them about it and they sent me a cable still. I know there was a user who reported one of his fan blades broke on his Jalapeno and he requested a replacement from BFL and they sent him one. If you only had it a few days and the power supply indeed was faulty and burnt out, they should send you a replacement.
So the power supply that was included burned out after only a few days of mining. I have it running on another PSU for the mean time. However, I just ordered this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139049&Tpk=cx430m&IsVirtualParent=1
I received it today and unfortunately I didn't realize it only had one PCIe connector instead of two. Not a big deal but I was going for cleanliness which is why I opted for the modular model. My question is this:
Can I use something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198018 to split the one PCIe connector into two? Would that be shorting it on power or anything like that? Or would I be better of using an additional cable with a 4 pin to 6pin PCIe adapter? Would it even matter?
Thanks in advance
