Could I use 2 overclocked on a CX750 power supply?   I've already got one miner on it and am looking to pick up another S1.  Just wondering if I should buy another PSU or can they both be used on one.  If not, any recommendations for a good PSU?

Definitely do not do that. Even non-overclocked two S1's use around 730 W. I measured it with a Kill-A-Watt and posted a picture. That's probably okay for a 750 if it is a gold or platinum with good efficiency at around 80-85% load.

Two overclocked is too much for a 750 PSU. Use two separate PSUs or find at least a 900-1000 PSU.

I'd suggest a different one especially if you are going to OC them.

you need to put some consumer on 5V cable, i have same PSU, and i put a old cdrom on 5V and never shut's down.

Are you sure?  If this is really true, that is just stupid.  Not every machine needs the 5v.  If I build a GPU mining rig running off a usb flash drive, it won't need the 5v.  6 pin to the GPU, 8 pin to the cpu, and 20/24 pin to the MB all 12v.


Wrong again....24pin for mobo connector has +5 volt too...several infact...up to 5 connectors  Roll Eyes

i have a PSU crosair vs650 , and i connect on the 4 pin 5V rail:
2 5W glow-lamps , and after that the PSU is not shuting down anymore.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but that setup does not seem very safe. I have (4) Antminer S1's all overclocked to 393.75 mhz and each Ant uses about 406watts at the wall. The 400mhz setting uses even more power, so even with my conservative power numbers, you're pulling at least 1218 watts out of a 1250w max load PSU. This is a recipe for a disaster.  Sad
PSUs are rated by their DC output, not by their AC input. If you're running at 90% efficiency that means with 406W at the wall you're putting out 365W. As a reference, I just tossed a meter on one of mine running at 400MHz and it's pulling 31.5A at 11.92V. That will be running that supply close to it's max at 400MHz, but with 104A on its 12V rail it will probably be fine.

Thanks Bitmain!

I ordered on Monday and received it on Friday. This was easy to setup and it arrived in mint condition. Excellent packaging etc.
No more pre orders to KNC etc... for me.

Keep up the good customer satisfaction Bitmain.
Cheers from New Zealand.

YES, it sure.
i'm using corsair VS550 and I should put 10 ohm 15watt resistor at the 5V output
to make it not shutdown.

What's a good power supply that is cheap and will able to overclock the Antminer S1? Any reccomendations? Thanks.
I've been running 1 Ant OC'd on a Coolmax ZU-700 PSU for a couple weeks now with no issues.  The PSU is pretty cheap just about everywhere but it does require a +5v load though to work so you will need to attach an old CDROM drive or something to it.  I actually use a cheap PSU tester which provides the +5v load and eliminates the need for a jumper wire/paperclip.  Here are links to both.

http://www.amazon.com/Coolmax-ZU-700B-CrossFire-Certified-Modular/dp/B008LA6CBC/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1394215985&sr=1-5&keywords=power+supply

Speaking of the PSU jumper, I have some 22GA solid tinned copper wire. That should work fine for a jumper yes?

As long as it fits snug/makes good contact then yes.  On one of my PSUs I'm using a piece of 22AWG copper strand wire that I tinned the ends with solder and it works fine.
I use a bobby pin, cut shorter, scrape ends, fits tight

Ordered another one and paid on Monday, but still says 'paid, valid, unshipped'. That's really unusual for Bitmain, 5 days now ... most of the others I have shipped in 2 days.

Anybody else experiencing slight delays?



I ordered on Monday.
Shipped on Friday.



I ordered 2 on Monday show paid, unshipped, valid
I'm not sure what's going on this is the first time this has happened, I contacted Bitmain via email yesterday but no response yet.
If it's not here withing the next hour it looks like Monday for me I hope. I have always received my tracking before receiving my order. This is a little odd.
