These are the cheapest single-rail 1200w gold-rated PSUs I've seen. I've used a bunch of them with 2 overclocked S1s each.

Hey gamersglory,
thanks for your input.
I did see that on ebay and the guy selling it states that it runs great for 2 non oc'd ants. I just wanna make sure that I find something that is capable of running both of em oc'd...
Also, the noise is supposedly a bit high on them...
Found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
Would this be capable of powering 1 oc'd ant safely??
The price on these is just unbeatable. 2 of them are still less than the 1000w one and have some change left to buy smokes
. So yes, budget does matter a lil bit.
Also would this be super easy to just plug n play? As in connect the pci-e cables, jump the psu and be done with it?
Or does it still require soldering/cutting wires etc...?
Is there a guide on how to jumper this specific unit? Corsair cx600? or do you just connect the green with any black?
again, thanks for your patience and for your quick replies

If you're on a budget, I'd just go with 2 500 or 600 W PSU's. Much cheaper.
If budget doesn't matter, and you like to just connect 2 Ants to a single PSU, something like this would do:

Pay a little more for modular so you don't have a wiry mess:

Modular is as easy as it gets. Paper clip trick the PSU, plug in the ethernet, power on PSU, and configure your Ant.

This works well and it's cheap http://minersource.net/products/dell-750w-psu-slash-adapter
just get an 850w PSU and you will be fine. I have 860w corsair plat, 850 thermaltake gold and both have been running for many months without issue. Watts at the wall is around 810. Say 10% loss (conservative) it is only at 730watts.
PSU's are not rated for what they draw at the wall!!!!!!! They are rated for what they can deliver to the device.

would that work for 2 oc'd ants though?
I've read some guides here that say 850W would be just fine for running them @180g/h (stock)
are yours oc'd and both running on the 860w corsair?
thx so much for your fast replies guys

Hey all,
total noob here...
I just got a couple of ants on ebay and they have already been shipped. (yay)
I'm looking to have them both oc'd and powered by a single psu.
What's the best psu option for me?
I looked at some of the guides here and while the server psu's look cool and all, I'd prefer a more of a plug n' play approach with a regular psu.
(both ants are the newer model with the pci-e connectors)
What are my options? what's the min wattage for a psu to run 2 oc'd ants somewhat safely?
ty in advance and have a great day
