An OC'd ant is going to draw around 31-32 amps on the 12v rail. The important part is making sure your PSU can handle it. That Roswell does 108 amp on the main rail in the end which gives you overhead for 3 no problem.

The server PSU kit I linked is designed to be ran at 100% load and has very high effeciency. For the ant it is the more practical and cheaper solution with a better PSU in the end.

These ants have enough leds, that Roswell ... lol

That PSU kit looks neat.  It does require obtaining the server PSU as well, doesn't it?  Doesn't that factor into the cost?

Yes, there are lots of lights on the Rosewill.  All mine in my basement, cooler there, and allows me to hear the family upstairs when they are talking to me on the other side of the house. Smiley

The kit has a psu included

I see that now.  Good to know.  If I wasn't fresh out of circuits to use for more power, I'd seriously consider this.

Thanks.

It doesn't even say Bronze.  Because it's from Tigerdirect, and is only 430W, I wouldn't consider plugging it into a valuable Ant.  Not sure I'd consider plugging it into anything honestly.


M

Thats cause its not Bronze
80 Plus has the following certifications

80 Plus
80 Plus Bronze
80 Plus Gold
80 Plus Silver
80 Plus Platinum
80 Plus Titanium

I'm aware of that.  That's why I said it's "not even Bronze".  Cheapest of cheap. Smiley

M

2% away from Bronze for 25% cheaper. I guess Bronze is good if you're buying one or two. But I have to stock up hehe.

Yeah, but can't find them anywhere, and if I do its inflated Tongue . What would be the cheapest, but still stable way of running 3 of them at stock, or slight overclock, if it doesn't consume that much more extra power?

This is what I use for my GPUs (1 per rig), and intend to use for my Ants:

I run 3 on 1200 watt power supplies.  I think you would be fine.

That's good to know.  I have two plugged into a Rosewill Lightning 1300 gold, and it seems to be barely working the powersupply.  I was pretty sure it could handle a 3rd OC'd Ant, but I've seen other people say 1500 is pushing your luck for 3.

Wait so you buy boards and the PSU? DO you have a setup guide you could link? EDIT: I read some more, the "kit" offers everything, so i'll buy two, since running only 3. Still need to know how to wire as idk how to interface an industrial grade psu...

Yeah, that should work for powering 1 miner, looks like.  It provides 34 Amps on the +12 V rail.  That 430W is a combined rating, though.

Yeah I was looking at that, according to the wiki, at full load 80 plus and 80plus bronze is only 2% difference:
