Topic: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s - page 254. (Read 346284 times)

I've started a poll to get an idea about the numbers affected by MIA miners.
Please vote for the number of units you are waiting on. 1,2,3,4 or 5+

Everybody affected by this delay by UPS has valid reasons to be concerned. These units are extremely time sensitive and late delivery could mean the difference between ROI and losing money.

I have 2 stuck on the mumbai plane.

But PLEASE can people stop ringing UPS, they won't get here any quicker and the more phone calls they get the more suspicious they will become about these consignments

I see your frustration dude but there is nothing that bit bitmain can do. What needs to be done is done. Your items are shipped as promised. He can not change anything even if he calls UPS. Do you think so?

The number of people going crazy in this topic is too damn high.

I was looking for a PSU I could get my hands on ASAP in the UK which would power 2 Antminers and didn't want to pay the inflated prices on overclockers.

Spent hours on the phone to different companies trying to source something. I wanted 2 x PSUs to power 4 Antminers and wanted it NOW. Never realised these things are as rare as UnicronHasher poo's

I finally sourced 2 x Novatech PowerStation Gold Series 1000W PSUs strait from Novatech for £139 with free next day delivery. Sorry guys got the last 2 though!

I have to say something I have learnt very quickly about PSUs for Ants is that don't believe what they say about how many PCI-E plugs they have.

For example, I did have 1 Corsair CX600 powering a single Ant. But even though the specs stated 2 x PCI-E which it did have, it was 1 cable which splits off to 2 PCI-E plugs... so effectively I have 400w being pulled down a single cable which made it pretty hot I and didn't want that running 24/7

This is the same for most other PSUs I have come across. So a PSU with 4 x PCI-E would actually be 2 cables splitting off to 2 PCI-E plugs on each.

So, unless you aren't worried about pulling the full juice down a single cable which in my mind is stupid, it's not worth the risk. For a single Ant I would look for 4 x PCI-E and for 2 Ants off a single PSU I would look for 8 x PCI-E

Hope this helps somebody out  

One cable > 2 x 8pins (6+2pins) PCI express connector
Four cables > 8pins (6+2pins) PCI express
