Hi everyone,

I will be receiving a rpi3 soon to run my mini miners and would like it all to run from the ATX psu that I currently have everything plugged into. The psu is hooked upto a breakout board from eyeboot which from what I can see has a 5v white 4pin socket on it.

I have no idea what this socket is called but would it be able to power the pi?

Alternatively could I use an lm2596 based voltage regulator to power the pi from a 12v feed or is the pi sensitive to voltage fluctuations?

Thanks.


you can do it i saw a post the other day on the web can't find it now they had it all running off a atx psu with custom made cables ..sense i won't do but it's a idea that way you might save some space form the 110 line junk and even be able to use everything on one line over a 240 line on a atx .

I use this http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Foldable-Technology-Motorola/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=sr_1_3?  and is one phip linked i  have been using for a year now might get a few more they save space over the annoying plugs that all most all ways seem to use up to much room on the surge plug or what ever you use.

Thanks for the links. Ive got a power supply coming with it but just trying to think of ways to reduce the amount of plugs/cables and make full use of the atx.

Ive seen people use the old style big 4 pin molex connectors. I suppose I could use an old micro usb cable and an old molex connection and solder them together.

You can get a loop if you use the raspi and the eyeboot with the same power supply

And you plug the eyeboot hub into the raspi

all of these run rasp pi's great.  you are better off keeping the rasp pi on this separate from the atx  and the atx powers the usb hub / miners
