Ok is any one using server psu's?
had one running on a DPS-600 but did not had my kill-a-watt then so no numbers
it's said these have far over 90% efficiency

You should be able to safely run 2 Ants on a 1000W PSU, or 3 ants on a 1300W PSU.

I would not try to run 4 Ants on a single PSU. It's difficult and expensive to find a single PSU that can run over 1600W.

Each Ant requires 2 dedicated PCI-E cables to safely run.


I'm running 2 ants per AX860 PSU and 3 ants per EVGA G2 1300W PSU

i think you should use Corsair ax860(comes with 7 years warranty) platinum it has a 93% eff. on 230v i used to have 2 antminers @ 180ghash stock clock and 25 usb sticks with no problem. best psu you can get otherwise you should go for the Evga Supernova 1300 Gold(10 years warranty) where u can run 3 ants on.

Apparently a 530W psu can run a standard (not over clocked) S1. So you'll need 2.12kW to run 4 (530*4). These are all my assumptions, but sushi told me that 530W should be able to run a 180gh/s S1.

The 500w measurement is completely false, was done w/ a shitty PSU. At the wall w/ a 80+ GOLD @ 120v, I see about 1w / mhz, so 400mhz is about 400w! Take 10% off that and these use roughly 360w @ 400mhz, on the PSU itself.

My bad then. Sorry for the false info. At least I learnt something new today Smiley

Agreed, all of my Ants use less than 400W at the wall running at 200GH/s using a good quality, Gold PSU.
