    On the hardware end.. Im looking into adding an additional PCI-E 6 pin port to the pcb. Physically it can be done.What I dont know is what effect this will have. I THINK it will just pull the power it needs and not overpower the board. I know the limitation are the VRMS as I believe they are rated at 40A, and cannot be changed without a reball or surface mount station. Im not promoting overclocking, Im trying to relieve the stress on the pci-e port, as Ive burned about 8 pci-e ports. I repaired them all to working order, but I would rather not have this happen. Anyone have any experience with this before I kill a very expensive pcb? Wink

    do they make a dual pcie pcb connector that will just use the same holes in the pcb?  seems that would save a lot of work

    I remember reading a while back that there is a higher rated PCI-e Connector then what most miner manufacturers are using see this article

    particularly this section


    Not sure but maybe you can install Plus HCS terminals that brings rated power up from 192Watts to 288 Watts

    Naw, a properly wired 6pin PCIE connector will have 3 +12v.
    Whether our Titans use the middle one or not ...u would have to trace the connector on the PCB, most likely it does. Its video cards n the like that dont require the middle. Hence why that graphic notes only 2 12+ per 6pin PCIE.
    The main issue is the 6pin PCIE connector itself(not the cables or anything). the actual connector is only rated to like 275 watts @ 12v

    Either way, all this wiring crap is pointless. The main limit is 40Amps continuous on the VRM's and something like 45Amps max?? ... we already run them overspec.
