Topic: Antminer S1 Anyone have a actual Wattage??? (Read 9895 times)

yeah sometimes it is the power or sometimes it is the heat. but those few xxs are okay. I had few occasions where I had 40% of xxxs but it ran faster??? It is usually from your PSU. just reboot when your PSU are stable and temperature is cool. then you will have all 000s. oh I gotta report mine: it pulls about 850watt from killawatt readings for 2 antminers(190GH each) with my 1000W PSU.

I'm worried about my miners...

Occasionally it would show a status of

oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo
xxoooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo

When i reboot the antminer, it switches around to

xxoooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo
oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo



Should i be concerned about this at all? Could it be the power supply or heat, or is my antminer is just stupid...

STOCK, they usually pull about 380W.

That's the beauty of this power supply! It ships with 4 cables, each has 2 PCI-E connectors for a total of 8 connectors.  Plus, it has 83A on a single 12A rail.  Some engineer at Corsair must have been a miner! lol

When you purchased the 1000 watt corsair to power 2 antminers, did it come with 4 PCI-E cables, or did you have to purchase them separately?

I run my antminers in pairs of 2 connected to corsair rm1000's.

Power at the distribution unit where the power supply plugs in is: 3.6A~750watts @ 208V power.

I took some time to take some pictures of my rig setup and the wattage meter for you,

I hope this helps!!!

I've got four OC'd Ants running 400MHz off three boards, load-balanced and daisy-chained using one board's On switch to control all 3. Should be able to run at least 5 OC'd off that setup without any problems. It's too bad the current sense isn't accurate on this board version or I'd have good cumulative data on power draws.

Yep, your boards. I'm not sure exactly what it was OC'd to.

Like I said 2 on one was just a test but we actually run 1.5 per dell in the OC setting we used.

Hey, that's my board! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/server-power-supply-interface-board-for-standalone-miners-and-gpu-rigs-379677

What were they overclocked to? I had been not recommending people run two overclocked units per board, because my measurements suggested it would run the supply at almost 100% capacity. Three boards would run 75% then, which these supplies should be able to handle approximately indefinitely. I've been running Ants and Cubes off them for a few months and the only one that failed ran at about 85% capacity (two Cubes with custom overclock) for a week with basically no airflow.

We tested two overclocked units using this

https://minersource.net/products/dell-750w-psu-slash-adapter

At the wall it pulled ~870w, and never crashed.

After we finished the test to make sure they don't crash we only hooked up three hashing boards per dell PSU.

I'm working on a DPS-800GBA board right now, and we'll be selling the Z750P boards again starting Thursday (including full kits, with the supply). Haven't tested the DPS-800 on Ants yet, but it should be more than enough to run two Ants on overclock.

Running server PSU with great success. Right now a mix of Dell Z750P(750w) with breakout boards by sidehack (http://gekkoscience.com/products/server_supply_breakout_board.html) and DPS-1520(~1400w). Cheap and efficient.

Bump to this.

I have (3) Ant's running off (1) 1300W EVGA SuperNova G2 gold psu. Stock 350 speed, no overclocks. I have a 4th Antminer that I want to run, and I want to overclock all of them to 375/387 or so. (~200 GH/s) Will a second 1000W PSU be enough? Ideally I'd run 2 ant's per PSU.

I'm also hoping that I can plug each PSU into a different socket on the same wall receptacle. Bad idea? I think this socket might be 15amps. I'll need to overload/trip it to verify as my condo's breaker panel isn't very well documented. (It just shows "General Receptacle")

my oc ants are pulling 690-693 per PSU when I use two of them to power 3 units.  I am using corsair CX750s.  So that makes it 1386 for 3 units or approximately 462 Watts per unit.  All Overclocked.  I love these PSUs. 

See my sig for setup guide and PSU advice.

Corsair RM 550 (80 Plus Gold)
Overclocked
421 watts according to a Belkin monitor.

if its a 15AMP Breaker You shouldn't go over 1800 watts total on that breaker so 3 ant on one breaker is ok as long as you don't have anything else on it and blow the breaker when your making toast in the morning ;P

Thanks for the info! While I could probably run 3 off my 1300W PSU, if I were to split them, I'd probably need to plug each PSU into a different outlet, right? I'll have to look at the breaker in my apartment. 

I would split it on 2 unless you get one of those manum 1500W PSU's.

Personally I have my ant running on a gold rated 680W PSU runs great never had a problem with it. Recently I got a good deal on some 780W Platinum units for same price i paid for the 680W gold so I was going to put my 2 Incoming Ant's or I can use those for my other script rigs and throw 2 on my spare Platinum rated Antec 1300W Unit.

Personally I have used:
Enermax
Antec
Seasonic
Evga

So far my level of happiness from best to worst is this order
Seasonic (Great quality but nothing really over 1000Watts) They do OEM for many other companies
Antec ( i had 1 fail in the process of doing an RMA now but my other 2 ran great maybe it was a bad apple)
Evga ( I have 2 Running great never had an issue)
Enermax ( first one blew 2 days ago parts actually fell out of it when i picked it up totally Dead)

I have (4) S1's coming in shortly. I currently have a 1300W EVGA SuperNOVA G2 and was planning to use this to power (3) S1's. Bad idea?

I will need to purchase another PSU to power the 4th one, so perhaps I'll buy one capable of powering 2 units. That way I'll have 2 off each PSU. I'm hoping to overclock them a bit to about 375 mhz. Any PSU recommendations?

My antminer OC to 200GH is pulling 445W at the wall on a seasonic 680W Cold Rated power supply

I did the killowatt thing last week with a new S1, trying out a 93% efficient power supply and wanted to see what the wall draw was.

At 180GH/s it was 352W.  Overclocked to 190GH/s it rose to 376W.  Didn't bother going higher since previous tests seem to show that HW errors go up by about a factor of 10.

The power supply, BTW, is a  KingWin LZP-550.  Actually a 650W, I believe, but sold as a 550 for the better efficiencies.  Sweet spot is ~440W, if I recall correctly, so I'm probably only getting 90% efficiency at best.

I did some measuring a while ago, which I assume is still valid.

About fifteen minutes of steady-state mining at stock clock, I read about 27.3A at 11.73V delivered to the Ant terminals. That's 320W per Ant.
AntMiner overclocked to 400MHz, increased the current output 13.8%, which puts it at 31A or 365W

That's actual DC consumption, not power draw at the wall.

240V 50Hz


Yes, I tried 400Mhz but too many HW errors. I put it down to the heat, it's pretty difficult to cool things here in summer when the ambient temp rises, but since you got the same result in winter in the UK maybe it's not the heat.

Same here ... in the UK on 240v and running 4 Ants overclocked at 375Mhz, separate Corsair 750CXM PSU on each one and they pull 420 Watts individually. I did run at 400Mhz for a while and each one pulled 460 Watts, but the HW errors were not good.

Are you on 220V or 120V like here in the US?

Hi,

I have 4 S1's on one wall socket pulling 1680 Watts, overclocked to 375MHz. Each S1 has its own Corsair 750CXM PSU. So I guess that equates to 420 Watts per S1. I'm reading with a Bauhn power meter at the wall. Located in Australia if that makes any difference.

Cheers

I don't know the actual wattage (don't have a kill-o-watt), but I can tell you that I've been running two ants off a corsair HX1050 for 2 months and it works fine. I recently (2 days ago) got more ants and ordered the corsair CX500 power supplies-one for each of them (~$50/each on amazon). They have been hashing at 192GH (375 mhz overclock) for 2 days without a problem, all with an asic status of oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo

438 watts @ 205GH... HW error rate at ~.15% on my best one.....using a  Corsair CX600M power supply

answered my question on the corsair RMS1000 Gold .. thanks .

i still need to buy more psu's .. just not right now .

i will have an entire fleet of corsairs here soon ..

I'd be more worried about the Amperage these things pull when OC'ed, and the fluctuation it can exhibit because I have many Ants and running 10+ is a pain without access to commercial power.

1x S1 OC'ed -> ~360-400W @ the wall. I use a Seasonic 650W Platinum PSU for a few. Roughly pulling ~4 Amps.

2x S1 OC'ed -> ~720-800W @ the wall. I have a Corsair RM1000 Gold, and a couple EVGA 1000 Gold/Platinum for other pairs. This will pull between 8-8.5 Amps. I learned this the hard way by trying to connect them into 15A surge protector/power strips with a built in 15A breaker. Cannot connect 2 1000W PSUs here without them switching off after 5 minutes. Kill-O-Watt readings started showing spikes of over 16A with 4 connected on one strip.

3x S1 OC'ed -> ~1180-1220W @ the wall. Can be done, but not suggested, even though it seems cheaper because its one PSU, but one of my PCI-E cables melted at the PSU end (was the 1st edition Ant where you had to splice your own PCI-E extension cables in) and forced me to get two replacements and makes even my 1200W NZXT Gold PSU and my 1250W Seasonic Gold PSU work hard. This method pulled a solid 12 Amps with spikes up to almost 13 Amps at times.

4x S1 OC'ed or not -> Don't even waste your time, you will more than likely kill your very expensive and hard to replace PSU.

These were all taken with Kill-O-Watt readings measured at the wall. I wish I knew these things ahead of time. Play it safe too, you don't know how shitty your buildings interior wiring is if its more than 30 years old.

These Ants also double as space heaters. I have 5 in my living room and it hit 50F today in NY and I have all my windows open and its still a little warm inside. I don't know how I could have run more than 3 had it not been a really cold winter.

How many GH?

It would seem we're both correct.

power supply efficiency makes big difference ..

person on other thread posted screenshot of two ants not overclocked pulling 800 watts from an 80% efficient psu ..

i want to test two oc'ed ants on a 1000-watt corsair rms gold which is reported 92% efficient ..

otherwise i must buy another corsair 1200i platinum ..

I'm running multiple overclocked AntMiner S1s and I put two per 1000-watt 80PLUS Platinum PSU, clocking in at around 760-780 watts at the wall at 120 volts.  So somewhere around 380 watts per unit overclocked.

Oops I just noticed that my OP is wrong. I have an AX860, and I'm looking into getting the AX1200 to power all three.

Thanks again for all the help.

Returning the AX860 and upgrading to the AX1200 would be about $170 upgrade. I could just buy another AX760 or AX860 for that price and eventually be usable in my PC. I think the AX1200 is huge.

No, Its not.

HX1050 is Silver.

All of my stock ants pull between 360-380w each from the wall (80+ Plat vs 80+ gold, HX1050 and EVGA G2 1300w)

return and upgrade, the better PSU you can use, the better bearing in mind running 2 ants on a corsair ax1200i , won't pull full power.. always better to be safe than sorry (i should note i'm not an ant owner, but I run each of my 2x BE cubes off ax1200i's - super stable, fan hardly ever kicks in and i know i'll never get a kill-down on my cubes)

my 2p. 

I've read that these things pull 500-600Watts each when overclocked to 200GH/s

Now I have one running on a Corsair HX860, my second one comes tomorrow. I've seen people claim these pull less then 400 watts when overclocked.

I would like to know if I can run both overclocked on the Corsair HX860.

If I get a third antminer, could a Corsair HX1200 do the job, should I buy a cheap 500 Watt one, or upgrade to the HX1500?


I feel kind of shady doing so, but my power supplies are within Amazon's return period so I can just return and upgrade.
