Nicely done.

I have heard that many use only one per S1 because of noise issue.

what lugs have you been using?

thx for the guide op love these
yes one supply can run 2 oc s1's
however for noise sake and equipment life
i run one per s1 at 16.00 bucks apiece shipped works well

heres some pics

two s1's hooked up to one supply mines great but very loud



the single supply per s1 pretty quiet









14g 12/2 romex style wire with center ground wire pulled out for pliability
the short wire runs = no/low heat

Made a few more. The local store had 6pin plugs for sale. So I went out and bought them, as it turned out they're twice the size of the pcie plugs I'm used to.
So I had to improvise.





All is working well tho Smiley

The only disadvantage is that they are a little louder than the pc psus.

It is the same as of the guide.

If you want more links let me know.

Each can power 2x S1 over clocked OR 4x S1 under clocked.

Awesome. that was the only thing really holding me back.  I thought I was going to have to spend aprox. $1000 on PSU to power them all.

Are the Server Psu's the best way to power the S1's?  Im thinking about ordering 13 more because they're so cheap now.

They work great. run 2 s1 no problem.
Using 10 for 3 weeks straight only 1 failed couple days ago (my fault).
Cannot complain - 10 bucks each, cannot beat the price.
Dude where are you getting them from?
A link would be grat

Very interesting thread.  I'm really considering moving over to server psu, but scared as hell of tampering with the internals.  I guess I'll order one and go to work on it and see.  I would love to sell some Corsairs.  These are a hell of a lot cheaper. 

I'm looking at the HP 1000W to power 2 over clocked S1s.  Has anyone used this particular psu?  How simple was it to make the conversation? 

Thanks in advance.
