Hey everyone, I have an Ant Miner L3++ that I overclocked, and it actually burned out one of the power connectors. I really want to swap that connector out before using the board again. Does anyone know the part number and where I can get it? Also, that probably explains why I'm not running the original power supply, but instead, an upgraded 1800W one. Thanks!

Evidently these are 6Pin ATX connectors. Found some on eBay and be here in a few days. The L3++ running fine on 3 boards once I disabled the Reboot on low hash rate. OC

No, odds are they the ubiquitous PCIe connectors. There is no such thing as an 'ATX' connector. That said, odds are ones from ebay or other grey-market sites are crap. As long as you do not unplug/plug them more that a couple time they should be fine but will wear out after just a few mating cycles. It is far better to get power components from reputable distributors such as DigiKey, Allied, Mouser, etc. where you can choose the type and quality you want.

It's been many years since I dabbled in EE&CE. Last computer I built was when a 286 8Mhz AT was the hot ticket But I already pulled the trigger on eBay so maybe pissed away a little fiat but the picuture looks correct. The term "ATX" came from a blogger repairing these hash boards so can't verify the accuracy. But seems to know what's up at assicbasics.com  Thanks for your insight. OC
