Thankful for this forum!

You have 6x S1 miners. You have 3x CX750m and 2x TW750M.  how would you set that up and power the miners?

TW750M?

any way of using the eps8 pin  and atx 4pin cables on a psu to power an s3? have a 1500watt silverstone strider.

Not that easy as they don't have screw terminals. You could use an interface board like the blackarrow power distribution board. So EPS 8 pin -> extender cut up -> distribution board -> PCI-E cable cut up -> S3. I don't know what the current limit on those things is.

or if you could know which cables are which, just cut off the 8pin and 4pin atx and connect 6 pin pcie directly at the wire with crimps?

What do you think about buying for example two corsair cxm 750W instead of buying one with 1200W? Disadvantages?

Fine as long as you dont cross load.

I have a Corsair 1200W Power supply. I used to load below 1000W on +12V rails.
Recently I noticed that one of the PCI-E power supply cable overheat a lot than all the other 5 PCI-E power cables.
I tried removing all other loads and justed tried with this overheating cable for various loads in this PSU.
Did what ever swapping and switchings I could do and found it as a cable problem.
I thoroughly inspected this faulty cable for any physical damages but couldn't find any.
This cable is only started using 2 months ago and its overheating from the first moment itself.
I suspect it as a clear case for warranty claim, looking for comments regarding this or your experience if any.
Update:
My PSU is Corsair AX1200 Modular.

Hope some of you can guide me on the above.


It would only have taken 1 or two of the conductors to have broken for the load capacity to have gone way down, and so temperatures way up.

Dogie i see you gave best score to:

Corsair CX750M ( i have 2 of this psu, 1 for each S3).

And 2 more S3 coming, so i thought i could buy a Corsair RM850M, i see you gave it also a very good score, so i can run 2 S3 with this PSu, right??

thanks!

edit: sorry you just posted. so you say its better 1x AX 1200i instead of 1x CorsairRM850M? Why 1200W for 2 S3??(2 s3 even 3with OC im getting 725W together). So with corsair RM850M enough, right?? or not??  Grin

that 1200 corsair its so expensive for just running 2 S3, or can i run 3 s3 with that psu?

You can run 3 on the AXi, yes. And just about 2 on the 750, but it gets very close.

but its safe to run 2 S3 with 1 CX750M? I get 725W with 2 S3
Yes

oh ok. i read in other topic someone saying that if you get 725W for example with 2 S3, its so risky to just use a 750W because PSU´s always have a little less than the total 750W they say they have, and better to have a little more extra W than just "20W" more

Its the other way around on most corsair series. They have a peak which is 10% above rated, the rating being 24/7 stable.

oh ok then, you mean that peak of 850W for CX750M? But i suppose they dont have all the time those 850W, just from time to time or whatever. ok then i will try to run 2 S3 with just 1 CX750M lets see if it doesnt explode Grin

Do you recommend nox 850w psu?  They are cheap

Cheap and and recommend don't really fit in the same sentence. Miners run PSUs far surpassing what the manufacturers ever intended.

So please guys what psu do you recommend me. I don't know what to do. 1 psu for each s3 or 1 psu for 2 s3? ? Thx

1x AX 1200i or 2x CXM 750
