What are idea power supplies for these machines?

I have some multiples of Corsair CX500M / CX600 / CX750M / HX750W / HX850W

If I pick up 2x S3+ which would be the ideal supplies?

thanks!

For 2, CX750M is the best buy. As a future investment, RM1000. Doubles PCI-Es, increases wire gauge to 16, handles extreme temperatures better and is fully modular.

To run hot the miner needs 4x PCI-E connects per machine.

EDITED for clarity, such a simple question... sorry.

One S3+ would require 1 or 2 Corsair CX750Ms?

thanks! up late with an expiring coupon trying to do the right thing

Half a CX750M per S3.

It seems too good to be true, hence my stupid questions. But a Single CX750M will run TWO S3+ units??

i need money to order some... NOW

hi dogie

Ive just picked up another S3.

Im needing now to pick up an internet switch. What speed would I need to get?

10/100 switch or a gigabit switch?

Many thanks

Even 10 would be fine, but for anything else you'd want to use it for, 100+.

Maybe, if you can configure your computer to pass over its connection properly.

NOT at all...

This is just a PHYSICAL WIRE Splitter ...You can NOT hook up 2 S3 to 1 LAN port...They need 2 DIFFERENT LAN addresses...Capisco... Huh

Just buy a normal router...or hub... Wink

Cheers,

ZiG

so something like this?

If I want to run my miner unclocked with just 2 power cables attached which connections on the miner do I use?

One to each PCB.

does it matter which one??
So if I just choose two ports opposite each other all will be grand?
Ive been getting another S3 that's all so want to use my 850w psu but its only got 6 pcie connections.

I don't plan to run overclocked

3 S3s on an 850W is pushing it a bit, but might be possible. You both PCI-Es closest to a fan, for example, so you have 1 on each PCB. Doesnt matter which.

Cheers mate.
No you mis understood me, Im only going to run 2 s3's off my 850w psu. It only has 6 pcie connectors so I cant run with the 4 into each miner so I was just making sure which connections to use so I could plug 2 into each miner and have the 2 spare pcie connectors.

Thanks you've been a great help

Edit: wish I had the spare cash for 3 x s3's

Should be okay, check cable temps after an hour or so.
