    yep..nice little tab up on my modified 15 awg wires....but hey it has to be better then replacing KNC Y adapters every 6 months as they blew (really, it was that often
    KNC used cheap PCIe sockets on their boards. Switching to all nickel plugs makes a fairly nice difference on the burn rate.

    Typical build a thousand dollar cube and save a dime by using a cheap component.....


    Yeah, well paying you to solder the proper plugs back in ...or just using the bare pin with the knc Y adapter hack..I went with the hack (then again LTC for all 6 of them

    until my most recent one this month was probably 4.15 per LTC ..so it made sense then I guess the above ugly hacks previous to the LTC price pumps)

    so anyway..in my case ..likely with the stable platinum server PSU's dual 1260 each or 2520 or so watts if I remember right at 96% eff) along with

    the 15 AWG wire and heavy duty plug on the PSU end you feel prudent....I'm just gonna continue with the bare pin mods...but the 15 AWG wire over kill is likely the

    part that has allowed them not to go toaster city...in my case anyway...again I think I have at least 6 with this mod..have a buddy with a lot more than that...at

    his data hall...none have fried again after this mod and the full Maxumark brackets/gen tarkin firmware/15 AWG wire/better fan/ heatsinks on dc/dc's etc etc etc)

    so anyway, what I do (or did) I suppose if anyone out there is reading this with a plug fried...if you got to send it in to lightfoot get a price on the plug replace

    on the cube...but again mine burnt..pin hack...and worked after...so no need to send them in....but it is of course as lightfoot says 'at your own risk'



    KNC devices being evil and all...MUST DIE SOMEDAY....being purely evil and all thus Lightfoot acts as the devil's advocate and keeps FIXING THEM

    and of course...then they don't die..rinse/wash/repeat...as lightfoot yells 'live my creations' on each cube revived.....(evil lair there, let me tell you!)

    so I got to draw the line someplace to allow them to brick themselves or we are all lost.....(frigging skynet...the beginning of skynet, I just know it.....)
