I don't see any reason to buy a PSU until they've announced that they are shipping. You never know if they'll come back with specific PSU recommendations that are tested and known to work instead of just guessing.

Fair enough if you have a store close to your location, or are serviced by an efficient postal network, but globally this isn't the case. They mentioned the need to inform their more 'remote' customers, besides people had been bugging for sometime about having fair warning...

Good point. I am in the US and I'm used to getting shipments in 2-3 days. I guess I get spoiled by Amazon Prime.

ok, ordered for jupiter.

You should get a 1000 watt to be safe. The one from new egg above seems to be the consensus on other threads, IMHO. Cheaper too.

sorry but I can't get it maybe I'm slow

knc seems to state that theirs "at wall" wat per GHs is 1.6 W

then as max W requirment we should have 1.6 * 400 = 640W

am i missing something obvious?

I bought this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171078

Do we need anything else?

Possibly a paperclip...

Looks like a good choice to me. Just bought one myself.

At the moment I'm thinking I might go industrial, something like:

Mean Well RSP-1000-12

and something similar but lightweight for the 5v. Depending on prices, I might go for current-sharing with multiple smaller 12v supplies and add in some redundancy - not sure yet.

Just ordered a lot of 20 of

via aliexpress for USD 15 shipping included. Easier to chop off and chuck the 8pins than making the 6pin cables by hand.

What sort of costs are you guys looking at for PC PSUs? (I'll post what prices this approach is costing when I get quotes next week)

"paper clip" trick should make it works.
or just google for "ATX Bridging Plug"

Looks like KNCMiner just came out with information regarding PSU.
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-31

Quote

So today we can reveal the following recommendations;
We recommend an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of 4x PCI-E adaptors for our Jupiter model.
We recommend a 600 Watt PSU with a minimum of 2x PCI-E adaptors for our Saturn model.
We recommend a 400 Watt PSU with a minimum of a PCI-E adaptor for our Mercury model.
This recommended power wattage figure is calculated upon our max. power consumption of total device including all of its components.
We aim to ensure you use a power supply unit capable of outputting in excess of the current recommended wattage to prevent any problems caused due to insufficient power.
Note: Powers supplies must contain a sufficient number of PCI-E adaptors for each respective unit.

With the recommendations, which PSU is best?

Any news on power supply yet? Specific products?

No, people are speculating, but nothing official from KNC. The consensus is that there will be plenty of PSU's available. There's no shortage there.

This is realllly confusing. Why are you answering your own question?!!

LOL!! I got an email notification of a new post and just went to the thread and answered the question. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I got a notification of a new post. Maybe someone posted and then deleted it. That is pretty funny!!! I wasn't paying any attention.

best laugh I've had in long time... thanks dude.. Grin
