I purchased a Thermaltake Toughpower AP 750W PSU to run an Antminer S5, which requires four 6 pin pci-e connectors.
The PSU has two 6 pin pci-e connectors, one 4+4 pin 12v connector, and several peripheral connectors. I am wondering if I can "make" two more 6 pin pci-e connectors, one from the 4+4, and one from one of the peripheral cables.
I have already actually done it, but I don't want to turn it on yet and fry anything. I am guessing that the worst that would happen is not enough amperage would be provided and the S5 would either run underclocked or not run at all, but I really don't know much about any of this so I don't want to try it out just yet and risk destroying anything.
Here are the specs for the PSU: http://thermaltakeusa.com/ProductHtml/W0116RU__Feature.htm
Thanks in advance!
