I had to google the Thunder and it looks like it a 500W model with 2 rails.  As long as you run each rail to a board it should be OK.  it has 24A on rail 1, 21A on rail 2.  If you can't figure out which line is a separate rail then you should buy one of the other PSUs listed in this thread to avoid issues.

I've got a couple of CX430m PSu's with 3 pcie 6pin outputs but I'm struggling to find 6 pin female to female pcie cables.
loads of extensions that are male - female, for sale but not female to female

The sockets on my psu are female and so are the ones on the S3.
Any ideas?   Huh


ALSO - I've heard that not all PCIE sockets are wired the same on PSU's is that right?
E.g.  even if I find the right fitting cable it might not be wired right?

Thanks.

Tacens Valeo V Power Supply 900W 80 Plus Silver Modular damaged with two s3

Thats because its silver grade.

Please stop giving incorrect information to new people.  That makes 2+ people who are now incorrect (or stupid).

The +, 80+, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum ratings on PSUs are somewhat arbitrary and maufacturers fudge (make up) their ratings.  A Seasonic Bronze (which is lower than Silver) that puts out 800W could easily handle 2 S3s.  If it was an 850 it could handle both overclock. A Seasonic Silver 850W would be fine http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151083

What matters is the manufacturer of the PSU.  Seasonic is like the Mercedes Benz of PSUs. The rating just tells you roughly what to expect from the AC/DC conversion efficiency.

Yeah, it would. Read the DrG's post above. You need to look for single rail highest current. That's what matters. Two s3s initially spike to 850W and your PSU will most likely burn especially when power efficiency is not good.

What about this one?? cheap, 900w, modular:

http://www.pccomponentes.com/tacens_valeo_v_900w_80_plus_silver_modular.html

Tacens Valeo V 900W 80 Plus Silver Modular



That thing may call itself 900W but it's more like a 650W PSU.  The 12V only puts out 51A, 51A*12V = 612Watts

This Seasonic Gold 650W puts out 54A.

A Seasonic 650 beats that "900" watt imposter.  You get what you pay for.

Ok, still looking for answer if Corsair VS650 would be good to power 1 S3? I am not good with that stuff, so I will not be modifying server PSUs.

Yes. S3 is only 366W. A 650w PSU can safely run one.

I will look at it.  my spanish is un poco but I will make an attempt


I did a google translation
http://www.pccomponentes.com/tacens_valeo_v_900w_80_plus_silver_modular.html






the single 12v  rail is 612 watts  that means 1 machine for sure not 2.

what about this psu?

http://www.ebay.es/itm/IBM-Blade-Center-DPS-2000BB-A-2000W-39Y7359-39Y7360-Netzteil-PSU-/310977267813?pt=PC_Netzteile&hash=item4867b08865

dont you need also a board or something to be able to connect it to the S3??

You will need some form of breakout to connect them to antminers. Sidehack has a board coming for them, and thats a dam high price for that PSU.

whats a good prize then for that psu?? im from europe so i cant find here i think the prizes you have in USA Sad
http://minersource.net/products/delta-dps2000w-server-power-supply
Even with international shipping should come out cheaper than the ebay link, and we will have the boards in stock as soon as they are available.

i dont think so Sad

Prize is GREAT, 39,99 PSU, but delivery.... 85.38 $ cheapest one for spain.... Sad i think i will have to find it here in europe.

And there´s no way to buy those boards here in europe also???. because delivery to spain is so expensive

The delivery cost would be much cheaper for multiple units, I think its only an extra $5-10 per PSU after the first. The boards are manufactured here in the US so there is not EU option to buy the boards right now, sorry.

and i think i would have to pay also customs maybe. Arggggg i will have to move to the USA Grin Grin
