I guess this is also no go since it outputs 15A. I can get some quality 900w codegen psu problem is im too anxious i waited for the machine more than 2 weeks, and for psu i need also to wait whole week to get it so i thought if i can put it to work with one of those 2 that i have with me right now.

A word of wisdom for you... Spend some extra money and buy a Corsair CX500 (32A/456W) on the 12v rail which is perfect for a single Ant + overclocking headroom, can't beat it for $60 from Newegg.
Don't buy cheap on PSU's, clean steady power makes mining much easier when you don't have to worry about it being an issue.

No good.
The spec of 12v1 & 12v2 is 14 and 15 on that PSU.
Which is just a notch 1A above the required 28A.
A minimum safe bet is at least 17a per rail. Or 34a combined.
You could try to get by i was using enermax naxn 500 with 12v1 24a and 12v2 21a and boy the cables are so hot to the touch.

um that power supply is probably a no go
rail 1 has 14amps and the rail 2 has 15 amps
if im not mistaken you need about 16 amps per board or 32 amps per antminer s1 using 12V

So i got my antminer s1 today, it's from bitmaintech 180GH and it have 6 pin connector on it like this one from the picture

And i have one chieftec power supply of 400W, and it says it can deliver 390w max combined. Here's the specs of power supply.

But as power supply have only one pci-e connector and antminer requires 2 i have one extension cable but extension cable have only 2 yellow wires and 3 black like this one.

But as antminer is requiring 2 pci-e connections and 350w power i was wondering will my power supply be able to power antminer? and can i use one pci-e connector from power supply and another from extension cable?
