Topic: Antminer S1. Use PSU from computer? (Read 742 times)
Fractal Design Tesla R2, 1000W is a 80+ Gold PSU with an efficiency of max. 90% at full power. That wouldn't be sufficient for your PC (600W) and the Antminer S1 (400W, when booting around 10% more) together. Your PSU is single railed and shooting 1000W through one cable over a long period of time doesn't seem like a good idea to me (the cable may melt or worse).
you go to below link to have a read, very nice tutorial.

I have a pretty heavy PSU in my computer and need to know if i can connect an Antminer S1 without it causing problems.

I suspect that my computer uses about 600W at most and I know that the Antminer uses a little under 400W, so I feel like it should work?
