I thought that was power for the fans initially, and a 4 pin cpu male is required from a pico psu.
And also it's weird design, why does a mobo need to be connected to itself with cables lol. Why can't some power from the bunch of 6 pins go directly to cpu via the mobo traces?
I got one of these boards on the way too. Should be here early next week. I will be powering it with a Delta 2400W.
I figured I'd start by connecting all the 6 pin IN connectors to the Delta, then see if it will post with some crappy $25 GT 720 GPU I got laying around. If not, I'll check for 12V on the 4 pin OUT connector, and if I see it, make a cable to feed the 4 pin IN connector by the CPU. If it still won't post at this point, I'm not sure what the next step would be.
Also, on all those 6 pin OUT connectors for the GPU's, is there a reason to use those instead of just feeding the GPU's directly from the Delta? If I was to run 1080Ti's with dual 8 pin connectors, I would definitely want to feed them directly from the PSU and not via Y cables from the mobo!
I have asked the seller - what cable would this be and is it provided, seems to be a standard EPS type CPU 4pin MALE to MALE.
I have 10 x Deltas ready for the 8-slot project, and will basically upgrade, consolidate each rig to 8 GPUs and get rid off all risers for 10 rigs in the old ETH farm.
Worst case scenario, no choice but to jiggy-rig a cable to do this off the Delta. I think only 2 pins is required.... but would leave that to experts.
I would like to buy some from you if manage to figure it out. Otherwise, hawkfish can help..... hawk are you there?

Yeah for now, just park at NH to reduce risk, I have seen +0.01919740 BTG payment on Coinomi wallet, eventhough I have 11 BTG in Suprnova (still waiting confirmation).
I am growing suspicious everyday about this BTG.... I think the BTG network doesn't have enough hash to keep up.
Once state of pools settles down, BTG mining should be profitable - IMHO.
Btw, NH is not a mining pool, per se.
NH is a buyer/seller marketplace.
We sell hash, and they are buyers out there that will buy our hash.
What they eventually use our hash to mine.... we would not know what coin.
I am sure many of us here who followed my strategy made some nice profit.
I think for now, just mine something else or sell hash at NH.
@phil,
the 2 x D1800s I sent to you earlier, I think my office used a router box to send to you - I guess you can use that size of a box.
Shipping in the US - do you need to use only boxes provided by USPS?
