Wrong section. This is for people who value their hardware to use as intended, mining has it's own category.

hey, miners are people too. Also that section is for talking about mining, this section is for part selection and it's part selection that's happening here, as for the cheap but good PSU, it depends on how dodgy you wanna go, cause look on ebay as see what you can get there for a cheapish price.

Yes but what you propose right here is some kind of special needs.

Most people here don't invest time to think about that category, myself included.

 

And there is no PSU on the market that can do what you want it to.

 

The 2kW Leadex doesn't have enough connectors as don't every other PSU out there.

 

That means you have to fiddle around with two PSU and some possibly unsafe electrical installations as well.

 

And you need 230VAC Input as well...

Those adaptors are unsafe and will cause a cable fire in a Mining setup.

Pls Stop recomending such unsafe measures!

 

If we talk about soldered on wires on the PSU side, you might use one of those, yes.

But most PSU already have two PCIe connections on one 6-8pin connector. If you use an adaptor on those, it will burn.

As well as on hard soldered wires!


We are talking about 150W or 12,5Ampere per connector, with three wire pairs per connector that equals 4,166666666666667 times two is 8A. That is not something you want to put on connectors.

 

If it is hardwired however you might be able to use those connectors - but onls on hard wired cables!!
