Hey all thanks for all your help with my last question..im going to go out on a limb and hope not to get flamed much..heres my problem

I am in the usa and have 2 neptunes...in preparation for neptunes arrival hired an electrician to provide me with a 240 breaker which he gave me 5 220v outlets. I read up on power supplies and decided to go with the recommendations from knc for 3x 850 w psu/neptune, i purchased the Evga supernova G2. The power cord i was supplied with has the 110v configuration 2 verticals and 1 ground(plug) although after speaking with evga customer support they said it was rated 100 to 240v.. my problem is my local electrician said there are no 220v outlets which can take the power cord i have.
The electrican said he would cut the end of the cord i was supplied by evga and attach the 220v plug...is this safe I DONT WANNA BURRN DOWN MY HOUSE ..thanks all

Same level of safety if correct plugs are properly installed.
Having your electrician change the ends is no more dangerous than having the same guy install the outlets.
Plugs that have screw terminals for the wires are better than molded plugs if you consider they can be reused/repaired.
I'd go with whatever gets the miner hashing soonest, that is also safe, unless there is a huge price difference.

YMMV

Did this myself...made my own 220 box and chopped the plugs off and used the 220 plugs been running stable and cool for a few months now...on eBay there is special 220 plus with c13 connectors on them if your really picky

By code 220v connections require a 30A circuit and 10-2 wire. A 120v/15A circuit uses 14-2 wire.

If you burn down your house because didn't have licensed electrician wire your 220v circuits your insurance company will simply walk away because they and are allowed to.

So is it worth the risk?

well i have 10-2 installed...not a 30a circuit but that is ok cause i'm using less then 80% of the 20a circuit breaker anyways...only have 60a service to play with and if you look on the c13 connector, it has what its rated for...all the cords i'm using said their rated for 240v so i think i'm good Wink

upto you what ya wanna do...if yer really that picky buy a darn PSD for few hundred bucks Tongue

your money not ours

'Code' ends @ the wall plug.

You're saying that the wires that came with the PSUs designed for 110VAC will be too dangerous?
I think you missed electricity 101.
The size of wire needed depends on current not voltage.
The insulation on the wire must also be apropriate for the voltage.
They will be carrying 1/2 the current @ 220VAC that they would be @ 110VAC.
I doubt you will find 110 VAC wire that is not also properly 'insulated' for 220VAC.
Listen to the known pro with a license on the line (your electrician).

YMMV

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...

Actually, I have (5) new 3ft power cords for 220v available if anyone wants them. They are Nema 6-20p on the plug side and C19 on the other which will connect directly on high power PSUs like the EVGA 1600W monster which has a C20.

PM me if you are interested.

The best would be to buy the cable directly (it's standard, look at the image).
If the cutting/attaching is done by an electrician, he knows what he's doing, it's safe.

Sure it's safe as long as the connections are good. As a bonus, it's only half the current so there should be less heating.

Im sure you need a female C13 onto the PSu and the other end depends on the wall mount your electrician puts in:

Which is exactly what i said in my first post "SWITCH"

HUB... there must be a million of them on eBay for 0.99 because they aren't very good; but for a couple of miners you would see minimal collisions and it would have no effect on speed.

Hey all,
just now i received my order for 2 batch 2 neptunes paid jan 11 order 176xx wanted to give you all a heads up on knc progress.

I have a question regarding the ethernet cable each controller board requires..are there any ethernet cables that can hook up 2 controller boards to one router..i guess sort of like the pcie Y cables people have been purchasing on this thread?
Sorry for noob question***

Thank you

A Y cable would be funny!

they do exist but it to run two Ethernet over one backhaul cable.

http://www.trademoon.com/17-05118-01-Refurbished_p_146754.html

That's not Ethernet, and you can run two connections over one cable as you only have one set of transmit and receive pairs. It would only work if the single end was wired different for a non-standard Ethernet switch.

yeah the labeling was wrong(FC splitter it seems) but you can get little splitters to put each end and run two over one ethernet cable.

You still need the ports on both ends to support this.

OMG, don't hurt your head. Just buy a switch : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch
1 cable goes from your router to the switch. And two other cables go from the switch to your Neptunes. Everything is automatic nothing to configure.

Is Batch 2 shipments any different than Batch 1's as far as the box size?

I have to go pickup my Neppy tonight as my Condo refused to take the box because it was too large! LOL
