No issues with HX750s here.. don't have an actual watt usage as they were just moved into a cold room with new 240V/30A outlets..

Just throwing in my quick PSU experience.... I have an overclocked Antminer running on a Corsair RM 650, and it runs fine =) I think any good quality 650w+ PSU with a single rail is all you need to run one of these.

How many watts at the wall? 120V?

If you use the EPS connector,remember the 12v + is BACKWARDS from the PCIE connectors.

Yellow wires are on the clip side on the EPS & black is on the clip side on PCIE connectors Wink

Just sayin Grin

Thanks. That's pretty obvious, isn't it Grin

I am no stranger to modyfing PSUs.
All my Jupiters are run without the 24 pin ATX cable, but custom made plugs that I made:

Not to everyone,I thought it worth mentioning Wink

Cool,easy "mod" you got there Cool

I got the 24 pin adapter with a switch made by Cablez,works great!!

@Cyper, you know a lot of PSU's
Is a Corsair AX1200i good for november Jupiters?
I remember horrible stories with Corsair PSU with the october Jupiters.
Thanks

Yes, it is perfect.

I hate to muck up this thread but, is it a TOTAL NO NO to use the cx600m to power an OCed antminer s1 with the included pci-e connection? Thanks.

+1

My opinion is is that using one cable with 2 connectors to power an OCed antminer is not recommended, because that is up to 48Amps per 3x12V circuits = 16Amps per circuit, which is a lot for an 18AWG cable I believe.

But if you use 2 cables, that should be OK = then only 8Amps per cable.

Btw am I correct with my numbers, specifically the max OC current being 48Amps? What is the max overclock of these in terms of chip Mhz and GH/s?
CX600M might not be enough then?

snip theheads off the 4-pin ATX mobo cables. I ran an overclocked antminer using 2 pairs of 12V line from the ATX for each blade (wires did get a bit warm but not dangerously). Using just a sinlge PCI-e for both blades will be a problem and danger though

So you are using all the 4 yellow cables from this connector: 2 per blade, correct?

I will probably use the already present PCI-E cable that has 3x 12V circuits for 1 blade and the 8 pin CPU connector, which has 4x 12V circuits for the other blade.

Hey CYPER, I ended up getting these, instead of the ones I had told you about, to power each on my Ants

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817116017

That should be able to handle OC as well.

I have the following power supply:
http://raidmax.com/psu/rx_1000ae.html
Would it be possible to run 2 AntMiner S1s with it?

I think it has 6 PCI-E, 6-pin. Can I use 4 PCI-E adapter 6-pin to 4-pin to get 2 AntMiners up and running?
Is there enough power if I want to overclock to 375M?

Most likely, although it's kind of a POS.

Thanks. Now, are we talking fire hazard or poor performance?

I am no electrician, but I would say fire hazard. Check this reply I got from Coolermaster:

The official standard only allows for 75W on a 6-Pin PCI cable. I don’t know why this value is so low (it’s not a free specification for some reason). More info here:
http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#eps8

I found several different information as to the max Amp on one cable (7A for 18 AWG seems most common) so 252W per cable.

Unofficially it would be ok but it’s at your own risk! Just make sure you have plenty of airflow running over those cables.

I don’t know why there are only three cables included. We can send you another cable. Please send us your full address.

Is there any other way to pay, instead of BTC? It will take 3-4 days before I can get enough coins into my wallet and by then the sale will be done.

Nighty Night Don't Let The Trolls Bite Nom Nom Nom

I am running using a corsair 550M without OC it only has 1 PCI cable with 2 heads, running a month no problems.

A friend runs 10 antminers using 500w corsair, 2 sperate PCI cables, running no problems without OC.

No cable or connection gets hot
