Anyone use a 10-pin connector directly on the PSU: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19648/ele-1163/FrozenCPU_ConnectRight_10-Pin_Female_PSU_Power_Connector_-_Corsair_Seasonic_-_Black.html

I can't find it in the UK or Europe And the usual 6 pin PCI-E does not fit.
Any ideas?

I jump all my PSUs right at the modular connector. You don't have to have 10pin connector if you can just get the female crimp pins instead.  Make a small lead and attach it to the proper PS_On and Gnd pins.

P.S. - I do make switch connectors that will work for this but the shipping to Europe sucks cost wise for singles.

Do you mean to get these, connect a cable between them, insulate them and then plug it directly into the PSU:



Can you post some pictures on what you made, so I can get a better idea.

Thank you.

Yes that is what you need.  You just crimp a 4-5cm section of 18AWG wire and then plug it in. If you are paranoid then cover over in electrical tape. Not the prettiest thing but will work fine and is cheap.

Check the thread in my sig for my switches.  Here is pic of the idea (not mine and its a little long):

Thank you again.

Do I need a special crimp tool to attach the cable to the pins or I can just use a household pliers and squeeze it until it bites the wire?

Also do you know of any other connector I can use apart from the 10 pin one if I decide to go that way? I tried a 6 pin PCi-E, but it's just not made to go there.
I need to make 4 for 2 PSUs: CM V850 and EVGA 1300W - the former has the PS_ON pin on a 10 pin connector and the latter has it on a 18 pin connector.

I grew up using those. You should use a proper crimping tool. They are cheap as hell at wal mart and a myriad other places. you CAN do it with a pair of basic pliers, but it's difficult.

This one is for the Seasonic/Corsair units. All you need to do is slap some pins in there and short it out.

You didn't read my 1st post, did you? - https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=170332.msg3670106#msg3670106

I'm looking to find them in the UK.

Pm me your address and ill send you one on Monday, I'm away for weekend. I'm in the uk.
I take it you just want the little cable with the crimp connectors on?
Better make it your work address or something, sending an address where you have a miner might not be a good idea.

Thank you for the offer, but I can probably make these myself easily as the required parts are readily available on Ebay.
What I am looking for is for the more complete solution: the 10 pin connector you linked from FrozenCPU.

Any ideas where I can find that in the UK? So far I found it only on Frozen CPU and Ebay.

Be careful though the cut outs are often different you need to check if the corners match on the plug and socket.

Thank you. That's my main concern - that the shape of each connector would be different.
I think round pegs go into square holes, but square pegs don't go into round holes.
I'm currently chatting with them, so let's see what they say as the picture is just a stock one.

I can't find it in the UK or Europe And the usual 6 pin PCI-E does not fit.
Any ideas?

I have the 24pin version of that, plugged right into the end of the 24 pin cable for my KnCs. works very very well, no problems yet.

Here's an interesting tidbit for you: Jumping right at the power supply works on some PSUs, however not all. It worked fine on the terrible Corsair RM850, however on the AX860 and the Seasonic 860 (same psu) it absolutely will not work, however jumping it at the end of the 24pin cable works fine. I notice there are multiple wires coming from teh PSU side that then double up on the 24Pin end, I didn't bother looking into it further or tracking the ones that needed bridging, I just deal with the ATX cable and jump it at the end.

Jumping right at the power supply also doesn't work with Cooler Master PSU's.

I use method below with single poll two way switch. Small cable ties hold it in place but not required as they push in nice and snug.





the 2 end pins I bend outwards just slightly to meet holes in the plug.
EDIT. BTW, center is OFF and either side is ON

EDIT 2. either of the switches below will work fine. and better than PSU tester as you can switch it ON and OFF without removing and replacing.

Why don't people just use a PSU tester into the mother board ATX cable? that turns the PSU on + cheap + gives you a read out.

If you read the discussion you would know why: Because I would like to get rid of the 24-pin ATX cable. It is not really required.

[btc_uzr]

Would be nice if KnC includes them as tiny improvement as costs are low and everyone could use it.

Looking for molex or something else  

[Phoenix1969]

Yawn.......
Good morning Campers Miners...
Not a peep yet from The Descendants of Oden & Frair?
Oh well, I guess I'll pry myself away from the computers
and do some actual labor around the farm today.....
Things are beginning to look like I abandoned
the place.... lol  
Everything seems to be running top-notch now
on the miners now that they have a dedicated service line.
(not just a dedicated circuit breaker, that made little difference)
Coffee pot, toaster, vacuum, water pump, or anything that
disrupts the current does indeed effect the miners hashrate.
On the graph, it straightened out the line instead of looking like
a rollercoaster...
Not not a drastic change in speed, but it's worth a dozen satoshi's a day at minimum.
So... if you plan on mining as more than a hobby....
keep it in mind.  

*Edit... actually, right now, my 3 hour average at the pool
is about 50 GH/s higher than normal, as is the 12-hour average...
(9 boards for 1289 Gh/s is 143/board...perfect!)



BTW:
Cointerra is saying mid February for Batch 1 Tear-the-money-from-your-wallet-Miner...!
Hashfast is sayin' Mid December for Batch 1 Baby Jetgusher...!
I don't feel any others are even worth mentioning....lol
Looks as if both CT & HF are taking March orders now....
and HF is asking the same price for a March unit,as they charged for a December unit....  OMG
Those Guys in So-Cal are smoking some good stuff...  lol
GO KNC!

Be careful though the cut outs are often different you need to check if the corners match on the plug and socket.

So I made some additional research (used the online chat on the site you gave me) and was told this is the right connector:
http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/39-01-2100/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtVoztFdqDXO6IgqogZDQiJ
or this one

More information here: http://uk.mouser.com/catalog/English/102/GBP/1388.pdf

So all I need is some of these + the pins + a crimp tool (why is it so expensive?)

[vesperwillow]

Hey I have an idea, and I mean maybe it's not a breakthrough but, how about folks stop multi-quoting the same 24,949 connector pictures over and over? It's polluting the page and killing someone's server bandwidth needlessly. Just quote the relevant portion of /text/.

 

[Bogart]

I have a pile of ATX bridge/jumper plugs for sale if anyone needs:



I used to have them listed on bitmit, but alas bitmit is no more.

If anyone wants one, send me a PM.  I'll sell 'em for around $3 + shipping, or less if you think that's too much.

I also have 8 of the 10-pin shrouded IDC pinheaders left that I don't need:



Again PM me if you want a couple.  I don't need much for 'em.  Just something to cover the effort and shipping cost.

[tolip_wen]

You don't need a high dollar AMP crimping tool.
Many auto parts stores have inexpensive crimp kits for the tool, and might even have terminals that will work.

Your parts lookup skills are commendable.

I don't know if it is in your comfort zone but you could open the PSU and solder in a jumper.

Cleanest look obtainable.

YMMV

I don't want to mess up the warranty, so that's why I want to just attach a connector.
Also I think I can attach the terminal to the cable with just some basic pliers and, no special crimp tools is required, but nevertheless it is a good tool to have.
Do you know if any of these is for terminals: http://dx.com/s/crimp+tool

Here's a link on Amazon, but these are walmart items in the US. I would think you can find something similar for cheap in the UK. The more expensive ones are professional tools, made to stand up to the abuse of a pissed off electrician. Thus expensive. The cheapo hobby ones work just fine, except that under daily constant use they'll wear out fast. (My father is an electrician. There is a significant difference in strength between his Klein crimping tool and my POS like the link below. Both do the job.)
