Awesome server PSU right here. Currently using a 1600W one myself.

Im curious as to what that LED display shows on your board? Seems to limited to be wattage, or is it?
I use a separate power meter attached to the socket itself but if I could get a PICO board like yours that shows wattage that would be awesome.

The display is for the output voltage.

Hey Vann - 200-240v on the PSU, yes. Thanks for highlighting that. Also - huge fan of BBT and the PSU he showcased is a great one if you are running 110v. I think he ordered it from Alibaba so not sure on delivery time.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man

interesting to see that it can help lessen electricity consumptions and if this really provide more stability for sure it will be supported by most miners
I'm not good in terms of newer versions of mining power supply but reading between the lines shows me that there's a big saving from this one.

you are absolutely correct, the PSU you are offering is much much price's optimized then any "normal" PSU, no doubts!
but!!!

but, there is a cheaper alternative who are in friendly relationships with a solderer

)

buy server PSU from trusted seller on ebay, say HP 2450W for $60-70, solder there wires with 8pins PCI-E connectors, as many as you need
and here we go, we have a 2.4KW PSU just for a 100$ aprox!

P.S. of course new is better then used, but I converted 3 server PSU already and I know what I'm talking about. this is an option to consider as well!

ABSOLUTELY AGREE that these are far better than any alternative for larger (>3) multi card rigs.

Ever since I switched over to just two of these to run the majority of my cards things have run more stably and I see a small power cost saving.

Plus these are less expensive up front than large atx supplies.

You should mention it's only for a 220V power line.

Delta 2400watt Platinum 94% efficiency Power Supply 200V/240v

BBT featured a livestream with a 2400W platinum rated PSU with 18 8-pin PCI-E connectors that runs off dual 110V connections and costs $90.

Hello everyone -

In an effort to reduce overall cost per rig and achieve ROI faster, we have started using a different power supply. This one is a 2400w 94% efficient platinum power supply that ships with all of the necessary cables for up to 24 GPUs. Using this kit, we have reduced the cost per power supply per rig from $650 to $193.

(1x) Delta 2400watt Platinum 94% efficiency Power Supply 200V/240v
(24x) 26in PCI-E 6pin to 8Pin 6+2 pin cable set
(2x) Rev:7 X-Adapter fully tested
(8x) 3M Rubber foot pads
Dim 8 1/2W x 6 3/4L x 1 3/4H inch

If you want to run the entire rig from this single PSU, you would also need the 160w ATX adapter. During testing on one of the 8x 1080 Ti rigs, we found that the ATX adapter was only pulling 25-40w, so 160w is plenty to run the motherboard, CPU and 1x SSD. This is assuming that you are running powered risers. I have provided direct links to each piece below if you would like to order.
