Found the set-up thread. Looks like I need to do some reading and tinkering since its a tiny bit more complicated then plug and play. I will redirect my questions about set-up to that sub-forum, thanks!  Smiley

So i connected the PCI-E cords from the power supply to the 2 board and no power. Is there a set-up guide somewhere, or did someone already ask about setting up an Antminer somewhere on the forum? I could provide pics if someone is willing to help. I thought the miner would be ready to go out of the box. 

How did you switch on the power supply? There are setup threads in the Custom Hardware subforum.

I use 650w corsairs and I'm pretty happy.

Get at least a 600.

Most power supplies run more efficiently at 80% load.

If it's overclocked, it's sucking down at least 450 w, which is what mine did at 400 mhz.

By the way, some AntMiners get high hardware error rates at 400 mhz (mine did). I clocked it down to 375 and it's still running 450 w.

I searched the forum and saw someone went with this one. Would the 550 be okay for an overclocked one?

and it looks like I can attach the power supply to the other end and use that fan. Is that a proper set-up?

The Antminer I received did not come with a power supply unit. I believe it is over-clocked to around 200G/H. What sort of PSU should I get? Links to PSU available for purchase online would be greatly appreciated.  

I also would like to install another fan. What size Fan does the Antminer use?
