Topic: Cheap PSU experience and question about connections more PSU (Read 1715 times)
Yeah, even the 1200 watt HP one with just 1 small fan is a very unpleasant high pitched buzz. I won't use them in living space due to the type of noise... 1300 watt EVGA SuperNova works well for my needs.
You could also check out parallelminer.com, they have all the gear you need to setup a mining rig, including 1200 watt platinum rated server power supplies etc. I've bought from them 3 times now and have had reasonable satisfaction with them so far.
Like this psu? http://www.parallelminer.com/product/2400-watt-power-supply-kit-for-gpu-mining-94-efficiency-200-240v-ethereum-eth-zec-dash/
Where did you find pico psus for them?
I'd be willing to bet that Delta PSU in the link is insanely noisy. Delta fans are amongst the loudest, and a bunch of tiny ones like that will sound like a herd of pissed off dentists coming to get you...
So in the server world how do they power up the mobos?

Do not buy cheap PSU always go for @least Gold 80+ unless you get free electricity.
It will pay for itself in 1 year.
For example: I had a 1000 watt no name brand not rated PSU that was pulling 750 watts for 4 RX 470 gpu rig. I upgraded to 1000 watt EVGA 80+ gold for $139.99 which is pulling 600 watt for same rig saying me 150 watt i pay around .11 cents for electricity.
so (.150 x 0.11 x 24 hours x 365day) = $144.50 in just 1 year. Plus more stable less heat and less voltage fluctuations.
Again don't cheap out on PSU

That is right. That is why I changed most of my gold PSU to plat PSU now.
so the best way is to use server psu for graphic cards and second psu for processor, ssd etc?
Anybody use HP psu like this or this - such PSU really has more then 90% efficienty?
What i need for such configuration to work everything as safe as possible?
- add2psu? Is this (1) or this (2) ok?
- breakout board for hp like for example this
- Corsair CS650M for second (not graphic cards) will be ok or 650 Watts = too many? (not optimal work then) I can buy cheap such psu.

Those Add2PSU links look like cheap knock off's. The original is http://www.add2psu.com/.
I would suggest getting the original. You do NOT want to cheap out when it comes to supplying power to your GPU's.
Do you really know or think that this oryginal is not the same like from alibaba or aliexpress? Many products people take from ali and sell in US with 2 or 3x price.
ps. i found HP Hewlett Packard Enterprise 499243-B21 2400 Watt - anybody saw it, is it better then delta 2400? (delta has 3 fans, this i do not know but maybe less and because of it will take less watts for cooling?)

No that is a 240v only setup. The one I was referring to is this:
http://www.parallelminer.com/product/rev2-all-6pin2-cable-gpu-mining-power-supply-kit-hp-1200-watt-platinum-94-ethdashxmrzecgpu/
You can also buy an open frame case with the powered risers, PSU etc already installed from them if you wish.
Those server psu's look nice for some big setups.
But it looks like you still need a consumer psu to power the mobo, hdd etc.
So in the server world how do they power up the mobos?

Sorry, it might seem like a newbie question, but I am thinking (brainstorming) about getting involved in mining. Are 1000Watts ATX (HP) or Corsair Power Supplies good (efficient) enough to run 4 GPUs cards (say R9 480X/490X)? Or should I go for EVGA as a safe bet? Which one would be the best for its value?
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2012/august/80-plus-platinum-what-does-it-mean-and-what-is-the-benefit-to-me
you want gold or platinum rated PSUs.
Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic are all good brands of PSUs.
I personally use Corsair.
ps : google is your best friend and do some research on these forums, there is a shit ton of informations (repeated many times...)

server psu's are really loud but if noise is not an issue they are good.

Thanks for suggestions. I got answer from Tacens distributor and they do not suggest use 24/7 so better forget about such idea.
What are the best companies/models PSU for mining?
evga gold
What about:
Super Flower gold or platinum?
Corsair (what model?)
other...?

evga 850 g2 = 4 card rig
evga 1000 g2 = 5 card rig
evga 1300 g2 = 6 card rig
evga 750 p2 = 3 or 4 card rig
evga 850 p2 = 4 card rig
evga 1000 p2 = 5 card rig
evga 1200 p2 = 6 card rig
any of the above are good key is 200 watts a card and don't push cards to max
Super flower gold and plats are sometimes exactly an evga
I have had a good corsair rmxi 1000 4 cards and an axi 750 3 cards
www.jonnyguru.com
long lists of good psu's
nice guy he posts here once in a while. I respect almost every one of his picks. the fractal 1000 watt psu was not that good of a pick every other one he made that I used was a good pick. (more then 20 psu's)
He also mines like we do.
Don't want to open new thread for this but, will 600W bronze run 2 GPUs well? (GTX 960 and R9 280X)
Yes It will 600w would be sufficient i just hope you are using gold rated and above PSU.

Yep personally recommend EVGA G2 80+ gold from amazon. $139.99
i have the evga g2 850 on a 4 card rig, 390, 2x470, 460.
when dual mining it pulls 820 watts from the wall 24/7. cant say thats recommended, but its been that way for a couple months. psu doesnt even get warm. good psu.
I'm using the corsair rm1000i or rf1000x on a 4 gpu and 6gpu (rx470) rig and works well and stable.
wouldn't buy cheap on this one. On none of the rigs equipment if you ask me for stable miner and long term mining.

The forum is littered with people selling these PSUs as well as breakout boards and other ways to connect them up.
I am not advocating you purchase from this seller but this link just gives an example of how a server PSU would be setup for powering GPUs

The best way to do it is to power your video cards with an external server grade power supply. You can buy a mod a high quality server PSU for about half the price of a higher end ATX PSU
While in contact with video card manufacturers MSI themselves recommended not using ATX psus for powering mining GPUs

Can you write examples of such PSU or links?
How they are efficient vs gold/platinum atx?
How do you connect cards?
