I assume you have 220V or greater mains voltage, since you seem to be using this 4k kit http://holybitcoin.com/product/dps-2000bb-dual-4k-breakout-adapter-board/ or similar other kit.

So the mains voltage is not the issue.

APW3++ is able to handle max. 1200W power capacity at 110V and max. 1600W power capacity at 220V mains voltage.

Sounds a lot like the APW3++ psu is faulty.

yes thats the kit i am using

jeez its the seccond one i bought off amazon that was bad , i'm using a PDU and 240 v

can i still return it ? I assumed since it seemed to be new it was working and have had it for two weeks , finally got around to installing the s7 ( needed to to buy a rack to hold it)
and boom its not working god damn

I have a couple of the PSUs in the January batch act up in a similar fashion. I've had luck with power cycling them a few times.

They dont have a power switch , you mean plug an unplg ? did that already twice

Yeah plug and unplug, I had to do it up to 3 times on some. Perhaps try another plug?

so i unplugged it for like an hour, plugged it in then it worked wtf
The other one i returned from ebay didnt start at all though so this one seems to be working
btw the s7 is really taxing the unit, its pulling 6.4 amps at 240 jeez

The APW3 is a terrible power supply. In large bulk orders I have seen 30%+ failure rates. You need to verify the PSU is putting 12v out of the power plugs. Just because the fans running does not mean the PSU is actually putting the power out.

So this antminer works with my 4k breakout board kits but i got my hands on a new APW3++

plugged in all the pci-e connectors inculding controller board and connected the APW3++ to power.

The fans on it spin so it seems that the PSU is active but the s7 wont turn on ?

any ideas ?
