RGH RGH2 Falcon with Kynar wire

[Mikebyrne]

Hi,

Having real trouble getting Xell to boot on 2 Falcons

I've just got some Kynar wire in, should I just use this for the CPU_RST or should I use this for all the wiring (cut to length)

Any help would be great!

u can use it just not for 3v3 or 5v

u can use it just not for 3v3 or 5v/I would use thicker wire for ground and power/ what chip u using and pics of install and log would help

Why?

I use it for all connections. The power wiring gauge on anything from a house receptacle, a pump motor and all the way down to a tiny modchip is based on potential amp draw. 30 awg is fine. CR3 Lites pulled .02 amps. I'm guessing that CR4 don't pull more than .05 amps. 30 awg is good for around .1 amps.

Thanks for the info guys

I've read that 50cm is a good length for cpu_rst?

On Falcons I always use the topside CPU_RST, run it along the back of the MOBO (adjacent to the fan), tape it down to the board and cut it to fit to the chip. In that case 50 cm would be too long. 50 cm is more ideal for trinities when you coil it on the bottom side of the board or around the xclamps.

I'll use all Kynar and get back to everyone
