The thing is that they are server psu's, meaning they are designed for 24/7 operation at near-full load, some even rated for over 125% spec. All at 90% efficiency. Plus theyre cheap. Yeah but for the reason you stated, im going with a tier 1 or several tier 2 psu's for my antminer ambitions xD

I bet we'll see many S1s' for less than 200$ in the next month on ebay.

Thats the magic.... They will sell for at least double that on ebay in late April.

But it is a good idea to change it to 192.168.1.100 or anything else , so that you will not mess it up with your next S1!  Grin

I suggest you also to buy a server psu (ex. IBM x3650, DELTA DPS835.etc) for MUCH less, which is also much more reliable than any silly pc psu.

Each will cost as low as 10$ and can supply TWO overclocked S1s'.

Just my 2 cents.

Got home.  Plugged it in.  Powered it up.  Configured it.  Mining. Cheesy  (Dinner.)

Will let it run over night and then do some overclocking tomorrow.  I have to go back to work in an hour though so the fun will have to wait.

Was there any cable cutting or needing to use a paper clip to trick the PSU into working? I have one route today!!!!
No cable cutting assuming you've got two 6 pin PCIe connectors.  You will need a paperclip or something to jumper the pins on the ATX plug to turn the PSU on, but that's standard ATX - they all need it.  It's been running rock solid as expected overnight at 180GH/s and 47 degrees.  Mine has the latest firmware, and was preset for 192.168.1.99, (not .2.99).  Conceivably you could just plug it in, hook it to your network, put in your pool info and be hashing.  I'll be looking at overclocking it today.


correct it is now configured to 192.168.1.99


you can just hook it up,  turn it on,  set up the pool info and away it goes!   time from opening UPS package till mining about 3 minutes Smiley

Oh no my order expired even though the bit coin went through  Shocked . Fuck I hope my wife doesn't get the last laugh  Cry .
Anybody have an thoughts on this?

What do you mean by "expired"?   Bitmain is very reliable.  Be patient. My last order didn't show it was "shipping" on their website until 2 days after it shipped. Good luck!

Its never easy to watch your money in limbo , the order expires after an hour if they haven't received payment, even though I sent the bitcoin immediately it expired and show unpaid, was a long night thinking about my wife telling me  " I told you so" , but this morning it says paid. So everything good I guess they will manually send the order is what I  got from a prompt message return here in the forum from bit main.

its an auto timer to weed out timewasters, as you will have noticed its probably;

paid
shipped/unshipped
valid

now?

Yeah exactly. I always had faith, read so many good things. Cheers to Bitmain!!!
