I could really use some help with my PSU setup. I got 2 X Enermax Maxrevo 1500W to power 1 Jupiter and 2 Saturns. Here is the distribution of the virtual rails:
I plan on connecting my Jupiter with 4 cables (each cable has 2 X 6+2 PCIE connectors, but going to use just one connector for each cable) using 12v3 (upper left), 12v4 (upper middle), 12v5 (lower middle) and 12v6 (upper right).
Is this correct? I have no experience working with PSU's...
Yes
I've also found this piece of info which doesn't make much sense to me:
"The 12V1 rail should ideally power at least half of the peripheral/SATA sockets and not only the 24pin ATX connector. The 12V2, which feeds the first EPS connector, could also feed the other peripheral/SATA sockets. You should, in case you need the second EPS/ATX12V connector, connect its cable either to the middle top socket or to the top right socket that are fed by the 12V4 and 12V6 respectively. These rails provide power to a single 12pin socket and to the peripheral sockets, so don't mix any PCIe connectors with this EPS, something that could lead to OCP activation."
It shouldn't be a problem it is just pointing out that the SATA/Molex/Peripheral connectors are also on rails 4 & 6 so you shouldn't use PCIe on them as well to avoid overloading. You aren't hooking up giant banks of hard drive or multiple CD Rom drives so it is a non issue. You can use any of the six high current connectors at the bottom. Optimally you want them spread out on as many rails as possible.
Also, since I plan on upgrading the 2 Saturns to Jupiters, the 2 PSU's should provide enough power for 3 Jupiters. But how would I connect them?
You can but it will require modifying or making custom cables. You have two EPS connectors. You can't use them directly they won't fit and have different pin out configuration. However if you cut the EPS end off and replaced it with a 6 pin PCIe connector it would work just fine. 12V is 12V. The PSU doesn't really care if it is powering a motherboard or hard drive or another couple KNC boards. Alternatively you could rig a custom cable using the Molex or second motherboard connector.
Note unless you know what you are doing you could do some bad stuff. You will need to do some self research find out the current limit on each 12V rail, and then come up with a plan from their. The proper way would be to buy blank PCIe connectors and pins. Solder the pins and attached them to the connector. You may be able to rig up something use splice (butt) connectors and an existing PCIe connector. If all this seems complex and scary you likely shouldn't try. It isn't rocket science but you should have a good understanding of basic electrical work.
Bitcoin is free to rise without the negative stigma that that attached itself as a cancer.
