I just got my first goldshell mini doge miner, I was gpu mining previously using a btc-37 motherboard I have a RM850x power supply but need to have the ATX cable hooked up to the motherboard my question is, is there a way to bypass that so I can just use my PCIe to power my mini doge??? I’d kind like to use my laptop if possible to set everything up since I have a wi-fi adapter for the miner.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question I have done research just couldn’t find a solid yes or no or whatever
They sell adapters for the plug end or you can just use a paperclip to trick the power supply into thinking it’s connected to a motherboard. YouTube has numerous videos on this also. @matthew_hurley
Thanks I’ll look into the adapter the paperclip trick just don’t feel like it’s a great idea for long term use.
Dummy plugs are two bucks, just use the paperclip until they come in. Here’s a link for one I found but there’s plenty others out there
