Thank you for your reply. My electrical knowledge is not the greatest so excuse the ignorance. Basically, the power supply is overkill due to the price of the unit correct? What I understand is that the APW that I purchased is just capable of supplying more power on demand. Or am I wrong here?

No problem

Yes you are right, your APW can provide way more power than you need for the X10 miner.
A cheaper PSU would also be enough to power it.

That being said, it would work just fine. But if you can sell the APW for a better price than the cost of a cheaper PSU you would have a little profit.

Outstanding. Thank you for the information. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Did you get it from Baikal or ASIC Miner Market?

I got it straight from baikal the same hour the pre order opens up I sent an email, was told I could only purchase 1 miner though... but 1 is better than none so didn’t even complain. It was a pain dealing with this back and fourth it’s them. But I just figured I’d stay calm and not get on their bad side. I got the miner around 9am I believe from DHL, and it was wrapped with many layers of Saran Wrap, and came with 3 sets of cables ( 1 in 2 outs per cable )

Who knows if they went by when you ordered or alphabetical order of last name ( I’m A ) either way, hopefully everyone else gets theirs in soon too.

so from your pictures it looks like to power x10 you need only 3 pci-e sockets and not 6? As on cable has one in and two out connections.

You need 6 6pin pcie, I’m just using the adapters they included.

ok, thanks. As I understand this psu should work for baikal x10? http://www.enermax.co.uk/triathlor-eco/

I recommend to buy a "HP DPS-1200FB A". They are excellent quality, on ebay very cheap and perfect for mining with a breakoutboard. Look at parallelminer.com to get more info.

thanks. this is the same item, right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Power-Supply-Netzteil-1200W-HSTNS-PD11-DPS-1200FB-A-438202-002/112626429399?hash=item1a390eedd7:g:UisAAOSwXYtYz6xG

does it has protection circuitry of OVP, OPP and SCP?

Yes, it should be the same. Try searching for "656364-B21". This one is platinum certificated. And of course they have all protections. These are built to work 24/7 in HP-Servers. If you search for the product at HP website, you will find out, the normal price is around 350-400 $!!! On ebay you find super-dealz (maybe the sellers dont know the real value)!

This is my power supply...waiting for something to connect to.

OK, quick question - little off-topic (X10)

For the last 5 days my Baikal Giant+'s, which are (were) stable as hell for months and have been pulling in about $12 USD last 2-3 weeks ... just started going offline. All of them, not at same time, but all are going down 3-4 times a day.

1) Nothing changed with units, networking, environment (Ambient Room Temp = 56f), miners are nice and cool.
2) Power Supplies are cool
3) Blue light starts blinking and they are inactive, have to disconnect power and reconnect and they come back for awhile.

Anyone else having this issue all of a sudden?

Could it be the pool you are mining at?

Naa, Nicehash and I have 4 GPU rigs set there as well. It's something with the Giants but I just cannot put my finger on it.

I purchased an APW3++ 18 connector for the power supply. You guys think that is overkill? I was planning on running two L3s with the power supply in the case that I sell the miner before I get it.

Yes, thats overkill, you could run 2 x10's on the X11 algo or easily 3 x10's on any other algo with that.
Any 700+ watt PSU with 6 6-pin connectors should be enough to run a x10. Prices of these PSU's should start at around 80 USD.

the adapters are fine, but when possible always use 6 seperate cables connected to your breakout board.
its more stable and chances for burnt cables are minimal..

i plan to use one HP 1200W PSU per miner, unfortunately they havent told us the power consumption of the 2 unknown algos yet..

You'll need a break out board as well.

I've been saying for a week or so that batch 1 must be way larger then everyone expected. I think you guys are right, it isn't larger they just gave 98% of batch 1 to those scamsters and are pushing most of batch 1 to batch 2. I'm sure there is some kick backs happening with asicminermart. Or they paid extra. Like hey we will give you 1500 a unit, knowing they will sell for 2500 plus mine with them for a week or two before shipping. For me I am going to ride this out as I have already purchased 3 power supplies, a nice shelf thingy, PDU, and had an electrician install a 220v outlet. Funny enough I planned and did all the electrical stuff based on the initial wattage estimates, now they use like half and I prolly didn't need all that. OH well more overhead for more miners later.

@PublicDefender LOL brother.

Yes ASIC Miner Market is scamming as well. Even worse than Baikal.

1) They post Videos of OUR miners mining.
2) They do no respond to communication - AT ALL

IMHO, it's mainly asicminermarket.
I think Baikal just sold almost all Giant X10 Oct batch to asicminermarket and now it will use December batch to fill both October AND December batches.

Just guessing, but honestly...I really believe thats the truth:

They're in cahoots together! Asicminermarket is owned by a good friend of Baikal owner... maybe they are brothers?

Anybody located in europe received a miner or a tracking number at least? I see asian and american updates only.
