@StratoBitz - Use a 650Watt, 80+ Gold, modular or semi-modular; for one machine alone.
You won't find a good quality PSU with enough PCI-E wires to power with overclock.
I recommend SeaSonic or Corsair.

I feel faint burning smell near s3 fan.
is it normal?
is it normal?
I bought two S3's from reseller's here in the US. The first unit upon firing up for the first time started giving a smell of some electronic part cooking but that cleared after a few minutes. I suspect that's normal for a brand new unit that has only been run long enough to check it's running okay. The second S3, was in a somewhat larger box and looked the same. No cooking electronics smell and I was looking for it. That one never runs quite up to the standard set by the first. It's much more prone to falling hashrate with temperature rise. I took it apart and changed the thermal compound. One of the two boards had screws that were grossly overtightened. This second one may have failed its initial test and was subject to troubleshooting where a technician really mashed down the heatsink hold-down screws to improve the thermal paste contact which had been reapplied fresher and more liberally than on the first board. I must restate how that second now runs. Since removing and reapplying thermal paste, it runs with fewer hardware errors than the first. I may remove and replace the thermal paste on the first but it runs well so I haven't yet. I'd say you're lucky you smelled that new electronics smell.
Here comes the 8th wave of anxious expectant fathers syndrome.
