Cablez I have a lepa 1600watt supply and I noticed the cables that you design doesnt seem to be able to fit in my psu. Do I have to buy a different psu to use your cables or get some sort of adapter? Heres how the back of my psu looks.

Your psu should have PCI-E cables that plug into the PSU. Cablez's cable should be the female side the your PSU cable plugs into.

ok so basically im just going to plug my 6+2-pin PCI-Express connectors into his cable? Thanks man this is starting to make sense now lol

I would plug my female connector into his male connector right?

Here are the base type cables that I currently make:

These cables are 32" long with 2.5/5.5mm center +ve barrel plugs at a pitch of 8" for BFL single spacing.

For my needs I have used an EPS12V and a direct to PSU PCIE connector (for simpler cable management).

I can easily change the: pitch -> distance between barrel plugs
   connector type -> EPS12V, PCIE, 4 pin CPU, even direct to PSU connections (with a properly supplied pinout)
   length -> depending on your application
   wire thickness -> 18AWG is standard but also have 16AWG for longer runs or BFLs
   sleeving -> I find it aids in cable management (buyers choice)

can someone please answer this question for me...

so assume my psu has 4 PCEI connections and each connection with Cablez cable can only power 3 gridseeds and I have over 20 gridseeds - how do I power the other gridseeds once I've passed 12 - lots of power just going to waste.

You trying to do scrypt, btc, or both? Using scrypt only I wired 7 each on 2 PCIe cables and 6 on 1.

Can you show pictures please of the wires you made fully laid out. I bought the barrel connectors and I got 8 pin pcie connectors but idk how the end product should look

The suspense is killing me!!! Not really, but I am excited to have a normal set of cables for my units. Already sick of looking at the hack job I did to get 20 units running.

Well I found out today why there has been slow going with the quote requests. It seems that one of the parts in the cable assembly has been hard to source large numbers of so they have been trying to find more.
As soon as all the parts can be sourced in quantity we can progress with this endeavor. I apologize for this delay as its partly my fault for using heavier duty components which I did not think would be this difficult to come by.

I will keep you updated when I know more. Thanks for your patience.

No worries man. I appreciate all your effort!!

anyone have a top choice of PSU/recommendations, just read over on the Gridseed post a 30W saving on using a Platinum PSU over the supplied PSU!. Any advice appreciated.

It is a matter of cost vs efficiency. Assuming the miners take 60 watts, using 90 watts to run the miners is a 67% efficient PSU. If you use a 90% efficient PSU (platinum), then it would only take 67 watts. 90% efficient PSU will cost more than a 67% efficient PSU. What is it worth to you to save 23 watts? At 1/2 Kwh/day at 15 cents per kwh, that is $27 per year. A cheap PSU costs $20. A Platinum PSU costs $80.

I would go for a 80 plus gold psu, and get the lowest wattage you can while still leaving 20-25% of headroom. Those psu that come with a majority of the units are junk and inefficient. Atx power supplies are readily available anywhere and IMO are better because they at least have guidelines to adhere to (ATX v2.2 or 2.3). Plus they are way quieter than the brick PSUs.

@cablez thanks for the info. So the yellow wire connects to the +, and the black to - ?

Yes that is correct.
