Huh So just contact him though his website, Gekoscience.com.... Too obvious a solution eh?

I tried that once and received no response, I think this would be quicker. Wink

@goose72  Do you realise that you just quoted a five years old post?

Yes I do, I am trying to send a message to sidehack and since I'm a Newbie(not really original name goose1072 got hacked) I need to wait a day.

Thanks

Some of you may have been following the development thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/server-power-supply-interface-board-for-standalone-miners-and-gpu-rigs-379677

What I have designed is a board that interfaces to a Dell PE2950 server power supply, part Z750P or N750P. These supplies are rated for 750W output (12V, 62.4A) and, being industrial-grade, are designed to sustain rated outputs almost indefinitely.

http://www.gekkoscience.com/products/D750_img/main_D750.JPG

The PSU boards themselves socket onto the server supply and break the 12V out to screw terminals for attaching cables. We also have 18" 16AWG PCIe 6-pin cables available for sale with the boards.

Some of the features/benefits of these boards and supplies:
 - Ability to load-balance multiple supplies in parallel for redundancy or higher outputs
 - Replacement supplies can be found for less than $20, compared to >$100 for comparable performance consumer supply
 - If a supply fails, replace it by unplug/replug without having to touch wiring
 - User-defined wiring means no octopus of unnecessary cables
 - External power-on signal, can be wired to a "master" PSU so multiple supplies turn on simultaneously and automatically
 ---- Can be wired to an ATX supply to function as additional 12V "rails" on GPU rigs
 - >90% efficiency across most of the load range
 - Integrated current measurement, you can keep track of actual load consumption*
 - Integrated 3.3VSB and 5VDC 2A supplies
 - Internal and external fan speed control for PSU's internal cooling fan

*current measure is not officially supported (inaccurate measurement) in V0.4 boards, currently the only ones available, but the issue was fixed on the V0.5 boards which will start shipping probably in about two weeks.

The actual product page is http://www.gekkoscience.com/products/D750_supply_breakout_board.html

One supply will easily support two Cubes on full overclock or two stock-speed AntMiner S1 units. Some testing was done with two overclocked AntMiner S1 operating but I don't recommend it. I do have four S1 at 400MHz running flawlessly off three supplies load-balanced; I should be able to add a fifth without overloading. I also have one running a GPU in my workstation, using the EON input tied to the ATX supply so it powers on with the rest of the computer.


The current offering is Reduced-Feature boards, which do not have Current Sense or 5VDC. These features were not often used, so removing them by default saves the customer money. They also have a smaller fan-speed pot and a push-on/push-off power button because we were having reports of toggle switches breaking off. We can, by request, populate boards to the previous standard (toggle, fan knob, current sense, 5VDC) for any order.

Pricing on Reduced-Feature Boards:
1-5 $28 apiece
6-10 $26 apiece
10-25 $24 apiece.

Pricing on 16AWG 6-pin PCIe Cables:
18" $3.50 apiece
36" $4.50 apiece

Full Kits include 1xZ750P PSU, 1xInterface Board, 4x 18" cables for $55

Shipping will be fulfilled by USPS Priority. Domestic shipping rate estimates:

Up to 5 boards + 20 cables, $10
Up to 20 boards + 80 cables, $20
Up to 3 full kits, $15

We accept both PayPal and BTC payments, where BTC will be based off the dollar value and a CoinBase exchange grabbed randomly sometime during the day.

For ordering information, email "[email protected]" and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. We are shipping from standing stock.
If you have questions about anything and want a more-or-less immediate answer, either read the development thread or use the email above.

Hey Sidehack,

Sorry to post this here but since the site still considers me a Newbie I am only allowed 2 messages per day... Undecided

Priced just like here sounds good?

Thanks

So, I've put up a consolidated post with all of our offerings in the Marketplace/Computer Hardware section. I'll be maintaining that as the official purchasing thread, I reckon, with updated prices and information.

So after looking over some of philipma1957's work on running quieter fans on the S5, I've reworked and am testing a D750 board with a 7V rail instead of 5V, to power 12V fans at a lower (quieter) voltage. I've got a fan drawing 1.3A off the 7V line right now and running just fine. So if you're looking to fetch an S5 and run a quieter fan at 7V, you can't hardly beat a server-grade PSU with all the fixings for $55 plus shipping.

Standard stock-board kits (with no current-sense or 5VDC line) are still $50 apiece. We've got plenty.

We can also do custom-length cables with about a day of lead time.

Nope. They like 240V, but they'll run on anything 100V and up.

Looks like shipping would be $25, and $42 on the board and cables.

International shipping prices depend on whether you want just the board and cables, or a full kit including a PSU. Full kits ship up to three in one flat-rate box for $65; non-kit orders will have to be bid individually.

Full kits are $55; interface boards are $28 apiece ($26 for more than 5) and our 18" cables are still $3.50 apiece while 36" cables are $4.50

I want the full kit but the shipping is too expensive for my budget. What would total price be fore one breakout board and a set of four cables with lowest cost option shipping to Thailand? 18 inches is sufficient. I am in Thailand.

I know the N750 PSUs (N750P-S0/S1 ?) should be good to go. Yep, I've got a dozen or so boards available and cables are discounted through Sunday night. PM an order and we'll get you fixed up.

We've got about a dozen and a half boards available, which can be boards or full kits. DPS-2000BB boards are also shipping from stock.

Still have boards and cables in inventory? I just finished up retiring a number of Dell servers and managed to secure a few A930, N750, and AA2330 PSUs. Given the connectors are all the same, I imagine the boards are all compatible.

- >90% efficiency across most of the load range

Anyone have any actual efficiency measurements for this PSU or official documentation on the efficiency?  I'm building out a small mine and was testing various PSUs.   I was interested in these because of the efficiency and the fact that there is a board available for them.  By my measurements though these aren't anywhere near 90% efficient.  In fact they are more like 82% which would make them worse than 80 Plus Bronze.  Ironically this PSU was the absolute worst efficiency wise of the 5 different models I tested.  What gives?
