I have ordered 2 l3+ (for the September batch) along with 2 apw++ for the July S9 batch, and I was wondering what else I need to know/have before I am ready to begin mining. I am planning on setting up the machines in their own room of my home and I couldn't find any information about how many can be hooked up in one room or how many on the same circiut. Also is there anything I need to worry about regarding the placement of the miners or the powering of the miners or the profability of them in September. I am very new to mining and any helpful responses would be greatly appreciated. (also it says I need a power cable for each APW++ and I was wondering what I need for that too)

This kit by Gekkoscience, HP DPS-1200 FBA server power supply with breakout board and 10x pci-e cables will do the job nicely.

Yes, the problem is that the last reply from them was months ago.

Guys, thanks for the good discussion.
I'm a bit loss.
PSU at BITMAIN is sold out within minutes.
PSU server modified by parallelminer.com also sold out.
EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2 80+ TITANIUM, 1600W ECO Mode Fully Modular
So does this little devil can powered up 2x L3s+? It will takes 4 weeks to reach my hometown, if i ordered it now.
My L3 batch will be first week of September.

You'll need 2 'EVGA 1600 T2' (http://amzn.to/2sXlB2a) for 2 L3+.

No idea dude. I just ordered mine today. As i have ordered also the machines.
New to all this. My main problem here is the noise guys. I am living in an apartment and although i will sacrifice a room for mining, i need to find a solution. I;ve seen people on youtube putting the miners in some cooler boxes with holes for the air in-out and tubes taking the air out.
This reduces the noise from 79dB to 55dB which is really good. People could also add soundproof foam pieces to make it better too. The temp inside the cabin stays around 24 degrees and the machine is same temp to the touch whther it's inside or outside the cooler box..
What you think guys..
thanks

id pay for sound proofing foam and attach it to the walls of the room. I couldnt be bothered to make 1 cooler box for every machine, not to mention the piping for air flow would be impossible to deal with in a small area.
alternatively, buy a server rack with sound proofing, although, thats the more expensive option.
I have a soundproof server cabinet if anyone is interested in taking it off my hands....
I'd love to but theres 0 chance it'll fit through the corner stairs leading down to my basement lol I need to find something that i can bring down there part by part,and re-assemble IKEA style.

More importantly, why is it impossible to set up an account?
SMS verification keeps saying busy or failed!
Why are they, even doing the mobile phone verification method.

BITMAIN PSU sold out
June 23, 2017, 10:38:30 AM
Just get PSU's from Deep in Mines or Parallelminer. Where is problem?
Out of stock
They have many PSU's just ask what they have in stock. Delta 2400W was recently and you can power two 2 L3+ with that PSU.
Delta 2400w doesn't work with 110v
k, that makes sense. Poor Americans.
Yes, but if you REALLY need 240v in USA you can hire an electrician to install one in your home. Many people have a 240v outlet for air conditioners and washing machines for example... in my next house I'll install some 240v outlets for sure.
Yep, had some installed myself. I would recommend the investment for anyone running 110 to get a/some 240s installed for mining, well worth it

Very little reason to buy a $400 psu that isn't even supposed to be used in environments such as bitcoin mining. Get a server power supply for less than half the cost.
The noise is the main reason and a PSU like EVGA 1600 T2 will run the L3+ very smoothly (even a S9) 24/7 without any problem. Besides being more versatile... you can easily use it to power a 5 video cards rig for example if you want to and the resale price is also much better than average.

Demand determines the price... look how funny/crazy this is:
NOT the best EVGA PSU - $441.46 *EVGA SuperNOVA 1600W G2 80+ GOLD (http://amzn.to/2t182ji).
*People THINK this is the best EVGA PSU. 90% (115VAC) / 92% (220VAC~240VAC) efficiency. More expensive if you buy from Amazon ($441.46).
The BEST EVGA PSU - $401.99 **EVGA SuperNOVA 1600W T2 80+ TITANIUM (http://amzn.to/2sXlB2a)
**This REALLY is the best EVGA PSU. 94% (115VAC) / 96% (220VAC~240VAC) efficiency. Cheaper if you buy from Amazon ($401.99).
It's purely because most people think G2 (gold) is better than T2 (titanium)... But is NOT! Just go to the EVGA website and see that prices on Amazon doesn't make sense.

Doesn't a EVGA 1600W G2 work for the L3+?
1) One 12V rail
2) 9 PCIe connectors
3) resale value
4) Designed to be low noise @ moderate load.
5) Available.
1) One 12V rail
2) 9 PCIe connectors
3) resale value
4) Designed to be low noise @ moderate load.
5) Available.
comes down to price.
$110ish for a Bitmain or HP/server side PSU
$350ish for the EVGA
If you're desperate enough, you go for the EVGA, but, that adds to your base cost.
Especially if you need dozens or even hundreds of them. Where's that guy who said have 3050 L3,L3+ a few pages back? Hehehe
But if less noise (you can run even in eco mode if its 1600w for a L3+) and better energy protection is essential for your few units, so investing more in the PSU is a good idea. June 22, 2017, 08:50:33 PM
The EVGA 1050w GS should work with the L3+ too right? I think it has 10 6pin pcie connectors
Yes! It works with L3+
