The PCI-e cables themselves have a specification that they are expected to work within.
Some manufacturers may build cables closer to those limits than other manufacturers, but they are still within the specifications.
If you're defaulting to the "you only run 75W because the specification says so", then good for you. The rest of us will continue doing what we've been doing for years.
I feel like you're arbitrarily deciding what will work or not. I've actively tried these things and I've actively measured cable temps so it doesn't really make sense for you to say its all about to explode.
Your the one who is "arbitrarily deciding"
*You're. I am not arbitrarily deciding, I'm using past evidence and testing.
Yaw n - wake up.
You have someone somewhere telling you what to say is OK. Keep being a good little doggie and doing as you are told. Ignore specifications, they're only for he faint of heart who think failures and fires matter
I haven't worked with Bitmain in months, who is "telling me what to say" now, what will you default to next? Maybe its your hated towards Bitmain telling you what to say, I didn't see you hating on the SP20s 300W
stock PCI-E connections. But now of course you're outraged that Bitmain has the option to run 190W connectors to use less PCI-E connectors, or 125W connectors using more.
I also enjoy how you're somehow blaming the entire industry using and being okay with 300W PCI-E connections on me as if its something I decided. People have been using 300W PCI-E connections for years and will continue to do so regardless of if you throw a tantrum about a PSU you had dying while running 80W connections.
The connectors on the S2 are supplied by Bitmain - you saying that Bitmain went cheapo and supplied below spec cables?
It's not the cables that failed or the S2, it's the S2 PSU as I stated - yeah you've no idea what you are talking about.
Meanwhile,
My 2xS3 - one the cables are fine, the other the cables get quite warm.
My S5 - cables are all OK.
In all cases using high quality PSUs - not running above spec.
Fool, let me point out the blatantly obvious what you clearly have completely missed ...
Bitmain supplies S3,S3+,S5,S5+ miners, that do NOT come with PCI-e cables.
Your statement is quite clearly that any PCI-e cable is OK to run over spec.
Try engaging your brain before typing.
