i should have got an antminer Sad

Yes you should have. I have 4 now.... AMT is a colossal waste of time.
AliExpress has them ~2500 for 180GH/s 360watts at wall they claim

i actually got 1500w enermax to power all the 3 in normal mode... however as soon as i overclock them to 200 each the psu trips... i think either the ants pull way more than 12v rails can handle or there needs to be proper power distribution.. the thing with enermax 1500w only v3 and v5 are dedicated the rest are shared...

whats the 12V rail amperage(s) for the PSU?

I know that Im able to use a Corsair CX600M (553W on 12V) for a 400MHz antminer and a Raidmax RX-730SS (2x24A rails) to power a second antminer, with enough power left on a rail to add ~60W for some bitfury equipment

My 3rd antminer is expected today, and I just picked up a BEAUTIFUL ULTRA X3 800W *fully* modular PSU for only $40 BNIB. - 4 dedicated PCI-E connector ports on the PSU and even the mobo cable is modular, so i just have a small wire crimped to the back of the PSU for the PS_ON signal and 2 pci-e lines ready to go. When the time comes for antminer 4 or to tune back down to 350, I might be able to run 2 ants on it

I bought 1200W FSP 80 PLUS PSU for 2 S1. I tried to OC them to 375MHz for testing purpose. It is only about 750W-790W only. It is too waste to buy 1200W PSU. I think 1200W can be use for 3 S1.

I would love to get this as well... I bet you could mount 3 in the frame, Run a EVGA 1300w or greater and you would be fine

you would not have any OC headroom with that though. it may be easier and cheaper to go with 2x800W PSUs and have each run 1.5 antminers overclocked to 200GH

Actually, I have 2 OC'ed running on that PSU right now, only pulls ~800W from the wall. 3 Non-Oced is pulling ~1075, so I might be able to do 3 OC'ed.

so an OC'd unit draws roughly 400W at the wall for you? I wish there were some more concrete numbers for power draw at 400MHz since some people said its over 500W. (400W at the wall indicates around 360W on the 12V rail only, right? (80% efficiency)

Ive got a PSU coming tomorrow thats got about 700W on its 12V rail and Im wondering whether it would support 2 non-OC'd units or not. (at least once i bring down the overclock in a month or two to improve effficency and reduce heat output)

I found a huge difference between a crap generic PSU (600w thermaltake) and the 80+ gold and plat PSUs.
1 Ant non OC on the 600w- 456w at the wall
1 Ant non OC on the 1300w Plat - ~325 at the wall.

I agree with this, two Ants on a single CoolerMaster 1050W that pulls 815W at the wall whilst both are at 375MHz. Before just a single Ant was pulling 450W at the wall without OC using twin Corsair 450W supply's. It doesn't pay to power these with cheap PSU's.

1. I tried OC for one big machine ( 2 S1 ) ... 48-49 degree C. Normal fan.

2. About 50$ to make one rig.

3. I have no idea about the dimesion for this. 0.5x0.6x0.175m. That's all I have.

Thanks.

Hello Hechay. How much did it cost you to make this unit for the ants to have their home in ?

looks like they were mounted on thier sides. I am considering doing this, but feel that it may cause the chip side of the board to have no airflow and get even hotter compared to standing upright

they have airflow all Smiley

really? because i want to build something similar for 3 antminers but am concerned that if they are placed on the side, there is only about a 1cm gap between the 'floor' of the chasis and the chips, with very little airflow coming off the 120mm fans. did you direct a fan there to provide airflow or raise the antminer slightly higher?

at >50C these are quite hot and I want to provide as much cooling as possible

Btw, if anyone needs a great 120mm LED fan, the Coolermaster Jet-Flo fans are excellent.  I've never seen a 120mm fan move so much air and virtually silently. 

And that says a lot since my opinion of Coolermaster couldn't be worse.  I just bought a 1200w Silent Pro Gold to replace a Corsair AX860 that my KNC killed. What a piece-o-crap PSU!  Since when are high-end PSUs not all totally modular?!  There's not even enough connections available to plug in what I need.  I guess it's time to
try some Seagate PSUs since Corsair has let me down.  But it seems every vendor in the US is out-of-stock on high end PSUs.  I think Bitcoin is affecting the DIY PC availability on a few types of components.

Beautiful, just beautiful!  You make me wish I could do that stuff.  And I don't care what anyone says LED fans are effing gorgeous.  My ASIC room (lol, I actually have one of those now!  It was a great walk-in pantry.) looks like Las Vegas with all of the colored lights.

With a tunnel configuration (which you have created), I would strongly recommended reversing all the fans so the middle fans blow into the heatsinks, and the three external fans we see exhaust. Negative pressure > positive pressure for airflow when sealed.

Can you explain more about your idea? The fan will blow the cool air to the heatsink. ( Since I put it the DC, there is a cool air flow )

Airflow is much greater when its trying to fill negative pressure rather than being forced away from positive pressure. You want to exhaust as much air as possible from the case, creating negative pressure. The ambient temperature of the air inside the case pre-antminer will be the same as external as its not been heated at all.

Looks like your running 1 PSU for both antminers, how's that working out for you?
I'd like to try 1 PSU for 2 miners what do you recommend?

Thanks

Awesome job, this is what I need so that it will be easier to rack in a data center.

Kudos!

I ordered 6 ANTMINER S1 with Bitmain. What I can say is : PERFECT SERVICE, PERFECT PRODUCT!

I decided to join 2 S1 to one case with one 1000 PSU.

Here is what I've done today.

Make a frame.



Frame is OK.

Put 2 in one case.



Running for testing.



4 machines in 2 cases.

Everything looks great.



Thanks BITMAIN for PERFECT products and good support from BITMAIN and sushi.
