1 pcie that pulls 1200watts?
AppleMiner · · #72604
its way too much power for a single pci cord
AppleMiner · · #72605
so they made a Y splitter, so each cube is 1/5 of that 1200
Searing · · #72606
my buddy found a deal on new platinum 96% new server psu’s (corsair 1200’s are 94%) for like 300 for the works
AppleMiner · · #72607
and each cord is 1/10 of 1200
deathlessdd · · #72608
holy shit
deathlessdd · · #72609
that wire must get fried
AppleMiner · · #72610
so 10 cords each going at 120...2 cords fit into 1 Y splitter into a cube
Searing · · #72611
with slide in backplate (not just breaker board ) for dual server psu’s and has the psu guts etc
deathlessdd · · #72612
I like that table searing
AppleMiner · · #72613
so I have 2...evga P2 1200 power supplies in the bottom of that wooden case
Searing · · #72614
so at 1280 a server psu that is 2560 a unit for 300 bucks and 15 awg wire no need for y adapters slick

deathlessdd · · #72616
mines just in a box
AppleMiner · · #72617
and 1 powers 2 cubes and the controller and the green LED leg stand lights, and the other powers the other 3 miners
Searing · · #72618
the table is only about 200 bucks at sam’s club real butcher block workshop table w/closet racks below
Searing · · #72619
condisering I could build a shitty one for 115 usd I said screw it went for class..notice the glass for the
deathlessdd · · #72620
Lol
deathlessdd · · #72621
do they get that hot
Searing · · #72622
controller boards to sit on..also notice in pic’s the sub panel on the 100 amp service air rises and push me fans and shutter fan takes it ou
Searing · · #72623
tossed the server psu’s in old jupiter cases lol
deathlessdd · · #72624
I would be so paranoid leving that
Searing · · #72625
on glass no fire issues on my end
Searing · · #72626
also have the euro version of 220 plug surge protectors you can see in the back 1 per Titan no isssues
AppleMiner · · #72627
i went with...blow all the air at the window
deathlessdd · · #72628
hahaha
AppleMiner · · #72629
and put a box fan in that window to exhasut it...and the room was plenty cool
AppleMiner · · #72630
but I had the door oepned/cracked...even in the winter time
deathlessdd · · #72631
If i did that my house would be freezing
Searing · · #72632
but getting rid of the y adapters helped...i still have the corsairs and y adapters on the one...i replace a y adapter when it starts to get hot about 1x ever 3 months or so got a box of them from a guy
AppleMiner · · #72633
ive destroyed 2 or 3 power supplyes over 3 years on it
Searing · · #72634
the maxumark brackets the frees up dc/dc’s for 8 copper heatsinks/repaste/noctura 2x the speed fan and the tarky titan software
AppleMiner · · #72635
and burnt up more pcie cords than i can count on 2 hands
deathlessdd · · #72636
thats scary
Searing · · #72637
they run cooler in the summer by 10-15c per dc/dc then they ever did in the winer!
AppleMiner · · #72638
and of course you have to rip them apart and clean and regrease them every 4 or 5 months too
AppleMiner · · #72639
they got all gummed up inside
Searing · · #72640
me it was mostly the y adapters....but I did overkill from day one even before server psu’s did 1 1200w corsair per 2 cubes seems to help
AppleMiner · · #72641
looked like shit had to break them down, use some 91% propal and wipe them then remouse and new thermal pastes
Searing · · #72642
yeah i clean and repaste every 6 months....use alchol and qtips and repaste etc not fun but needed
AppleMiner · · #72643
more so in the summer time i think
AppleMiner · · #72644
i tried to do it right at easter time and then around septer or oct
Searing · · #72645
I have 6 total cubes (with data hall) with the plugs melted so only pins you just slide on the knc y adapter being carefull colors match and tab is up like other cubes with plugs yet
Searing · · #72646
not one has died...to tell you the truth they seem less hot once you do that wierd
deathlessdd · · #72647
did u blow something inside
deathlessdd · · #72648
maybe its not running all chips lol
AppleMiner · · #72649
i went out and bought 100 pieces of the pcie connect femal end caps
Searing · · #72650
I got a Titan in Feb of 2014 when all the mass scrypt miners were supposed to come out a dozen...all canceled or scams when LTC Price went to 2 buck something
AppleMiner · · #72651
as i burned them off Id snap off the broken ones, and the legs of the new ones
Searing · · #72652
so I got a full titan for 569 including the shipping from the outback of australia too hot there for him to run
AppleMiner · · #72653
and slide on new caps over the pegs after i toothbrushed the pegs down some
Searing · · #72654
the titan cubes look speckled on top like a hot rod hood in New Mexico from the heat....still runs
Searing · · #72655
orig titan still going nov 8th 2014 so that is like 5 days less than 3 years and 2months
Searing · · #72656
I still get a hoot about KNC folding because they could not make money due to btc halving..idiots got 6 of their
Searing · · #72657
bankruptcy units for 1900 bucks each 5 cube in summer of 2016....much glee I win they lose 
Searing · · #72658
yep knc titans ..they are just too frigging evil to die..you dare not make eye contact with them when
Searing · · #72659
doing laundry in the basement ...less they become annoyed and try to brick themselves...they long to become
Searing · · #72660
doorstops asap
deathlessdd · · #72661
lol
Searing · · #72662
need a price pump of LTC to 400 or 500 just ....if done at right time they may never die...just need price to stay a bit ahead yet
deathlessdd · · #72663
Pretty hardcore
deathlessdd · · #72664
how much u pay a month for power for those things
Searing · · #72665
well the diff in price between a 1250w 300mh titan and a 250mh L3 400w is less then 10c last I looked
Searing · · #72666
if the titans go the L3’s will be gone as well.....just saying using litecoinpool.org/calc
Searing · · #72667
well I’m gone I may come on here to chat once in awhile but again I prefer the IRS find me the old
Searing · · #72668
fashioned way in the masses of taxpayers ..and they can look at my legit ltc address for mining i’ve used
AppleMiner · · #72669
effeciency wise titans havent lost too much of their edge in 3 years really
Searing · · #72670
the last 3 years and 2 months for bona fides......1099’s naw.....I still think to easy to send out a mass
AppleMiner · · #72671
1200 for 400 vs 800 for 500
deathlessdd · · #72672
but isnt the l3+ like 600 watts
Searing · · #72673
source of funds letter to all you guys when/if that happens in full...so anyway good luck hope I’m wrong etc
Searing · · #72674
L3 is 400w L3+ is 800w and L3+ is 500mh not 250mh
AppleMiner · · #72675
i do not think the L3+ is only 600 watts
Searing · · #72676
L3+ is 800w
Searing · · #72677
L3 is 1/2 the has at 250mh and 400w
AppleMiner · · #72678
AppleMiner wrote: 1200 for 400 vs 800 for 500titan vs L3
AppleMiner · · #72679
L3+
Searing · · #72680
use this calc www.litecoinpool.org/calc
deathlessdd · · #72681
ahh
AppleMiner · · #72682
for a 50% reduce in electic...you are gaining 25% power in hash
deathlessdd · · #72683
prob could change voltages on the chains and make it more efficient
AppleMiner · · #72684
could run gen tarkin if I had a legit copy and get better voltages
AppleMiner · · #72685
I heard he mined on this pool at some point
Searing · · #72686
Titan is 6.49 a day after elec at 1250w and 300mh 4 cube at 12c kWh
deathlessdd · · #72687
does the titan require a rasbery pie
AppleMiner · · #72688
I had a copy with a rig I bought but couldnt get the upgrade to work and ended up reverting back to original firmware
AppleMiner · · #72689
comes with the pi
deathlessdd · · #72690
ahh
AppleMiner · · #72691
mine is...1200 watts and 395 hash right now
AppleMiner · · #72692
1185 and 385
Searing · · #72693
L3 is 400w at 250mh and 12c kwh is $7.25 a day now and L3+ is 800w and $14.50 with litecoinpool calc
Searing · · #72694
thus my view if Titan’s go doorstops...L3’s at 400w and 250mh will be gone also w/in a month imho 
AppleMiner · · #72695
so titans making 200 a month after electriccity costs?
AppleMiner · · #72696
my electric bill is covered!
Searing · · #72697
I use 1250w on titans because most folk don’t do the mods we do just the tarkin stuff
deathlessdd · · #72698
lololol
Searing · · #72699
my gas budget bill is 16 bucks a month (min due) and I usually show 125 balance on top of that
AppleMiner · · #72700
im all electric
