Topic: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s - page 256. (Read 346284 times)

I'm not sure why people think that ATX power supplies are the way to go for device that only requires a 12v feed.  There are much (MUCH) better/cheaper/more efficient options.

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 

i tested a few ants with a corsair 1200axi(platinum PSU)

not overclocked- each ant takes 370w at the wall
overclocked to 400 - each ant takes 420 watts at the wall.

thanks ... tracking received  

You, you... Biatch 

A Well, maybee i get coupons on the coupons i got on coupons.

We are going for a record 

You can blame me for the delay, every shipping company on the face of the planet hates me. It took UPS 4 days to deliver my saturn, I live 250 km north of Stockholm Fedex took almost 2 weeks to deliver a few singles. I don't even get mad anymore!

DHL did get me my minis the day after they were sent from China however, so maybe they have a secret crush for me and the others are just jealous.

This has been taking much longer then a normal repair. The plane also has high prio packages and ups has support planes standing by 24hours a day.

BITMAIN offcourse is no where to be seen, what else is new...... (sorry to say but o so true)

I would be supprised if its a cover story and customs has confiscated the shipments of BITMAIN in the plane.

India is a bitcoin banning country. We will here in a couple of days i guess. But there goes the proffit of the mines. Hashfast started to ship and ramping up. Cointerra also shipped some units friday ( friend got a tracking ) and will also bee ramping up next week.

Next diff will be of galactic proportions.

Antminers still stuck in Mumbai

I am not an expert in PSU and don't really know who made it for those brands.
I only know from reviews that Coolermasters PSU are not bad for a cheap prices.
I don't like to use really cheap PSU, like the ones BFL ships with their singles.
I throw them away after reading horrible stories with BFL PSU.
The BFL singles are now mining the electricity cost for the rest of the miners.

It's enough Juice
You can probably use 2x V850 for 4 Ants

Corsair and Coolermaster don't make PSUs
They just resell them under their own brand.

CoolesrMaster V series is Seasonic and Corsair AX is Seasonic too, so they are the same PSU with different branding

2 Coolermaster V850 to power 3 Antminers OC.
Is that a good idea, or not enough juices?

3x CX600M would provide more juice per miner

Coolermasters PSU in the same wattage as the Corsair are much cheaper here.
They don't have have a better Brand name than Corsair here, but from tests I see that Coolermasters are not bad in making good PSU for a decent price.
I myself have a bunch of Coolermasters V850.
I bought them before my november Jupiters arrived and suddenly KnC announced on their website that the specs have been changed.
I am using 3 V850 to power 2 november Jupiters.
I am now replacing them with 1200w PSU, because I am already moving my Jupiters to a datacenter in Zoetermeer.
I am going to use the V850 to power the Antminers.

guys to power 3 antminers at modest oc

3 bronze CX600M's for $150
or 1 EVGA 1300W gold $250

Yes.

You are using 1 PSU per Ant?

Same here. I bought my EVGA 1300W for 150GBP.
And recently a CoolerMaster V1000 from Ebay for 115GBP.
But if you are time pressed there is no time to wait for deals: I needed 9 PSUs for the Ands, so found the CX600M for 54, which here is a good deal.

I bought it 1.5 month ago for 49.99 when they lower prices for Christmas sales.
They are now at their originally price.

Yesterday I ask you if the Corsair AX 1200i was a good choice, I almost bought it until I ran into 4allshop
http://www.4allshop.nl/102922/be-quiet-dark-power-pro-p10-1200w.html
Only 224,00
I bought 4, now they are out of stock
