Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Cube Setup November 30, 2013, 09:54:01 PM #17 Quote from: CroverNo01 on November 30, 2013, 08:40:14 PM Quote from: dogie on November 30, 2013, 02:56:58 AM Quote from: CroverNo01 on November 30, 2013, 02:51:18 AM Great guide as always just wondering I blew 2x 650W on overclock tonight, each cube had 650w PSU, I could smell almost like burning plastic for a while but I thought it was just the new cubes but came home tonight and found both cubes had turned off and PSU's totally not turning back on.



They were decent Cool Master PSU's with 25A



Just wondering why they blew.



Also can you suggest a good PSU that could be used for many cubes ? Is it possible to use the Sata to 6 Pin adapters ?



Thanks

Can you link me to the exact PSU? Seems strange that they would be rated at 650W when only able to provide 300W on 12V rails.



Anything Corsair, you'll pay 10% more but get a big warranty and know exactly what you're getting. The 800W one I recommended is exactly what you'll need to run two off one PSU. You can't use sata to 6 pin adapters, SATA connectors are only rated for 25-35W. If you mean molex to 6 pin adapters then I'd still say no unless you use a dual molex to 6 pin adapter.



A molex could cope with 75W 24/7 - not 150W.

Hi, PSU 1 was Cooler Master RP-650-PCAP PSU was Power Cool PC-650AUBA-M - Both PSU blew on overclock setting with nothing else plugged into them. I was looking to see if there was some kind of server PSU maybe that you screw the wires into and they can power maybe 2 - 4 Cubes at a time. I have seen people in China doing this but don't know the PSU are using. Okay fair enough with the SATA, I have seen dual molex to 6pin but tbh if the PSU already has enough 6pin cables no point putting the others under strain. I can't seem to find that PSU mentioned anywhere in the UK

Those PSUs only have 18 and 25A on their 12V rails when they were NEW, nevermind how they are today. That explains why they both died.



I doubt you can power 4 cubes on anything less than a 1500W PSU - and even then mine would struggle due to the load coming purely from 12V.
