Title: Antminer S7 with single DPS-1200FB PSU
Post by: eretron on March 17, 2016, 11:56:56 AM
Hello,

did anyone tried to power single S7 with this PSU, it is rated at 100A = 1200W 12V output on 220V network (I am from Europe so this is what I got at home).

S7 specs says it consumes 1210W from the wall, so it is quite close.

Maybe if I downclock it a bit it would be fine?  Anyone tried this?

Thanks in advance

Hm, strange, I could swear it was 1200W, maybe I have looked at some earlier batch...

Oh well, that clears up a lot. Thanks for pointing that out.

You should downclock it a little so it uses 1300w and try it, server psus can take alot without any problem (still check for temperature to avoid fire hasard).

I ran a 1kw server psu at 1.3 for a few days non stop, it gets hot but works fine. It's back a 800w now and has been doing fine for 2 months

I've got some running on DPS1200 on 208V, no problem. Not sure offhand which batches they are, but I tested a board prototype for a week with no issues on one of the 1293W models. I really like how Bitmain changed the design of the miner to make it cheaper to manufacture and more expensive to own and operate.

You can if you have real 0.25w version (earlier batches).
I run several B1s on ATX 1250w PSUs for months

downclock from freq 700 to freq 650

check all stats .

you should drop from 4700  to  4400  and you should use 1200 watts at the wall.


let us know your hw %  if it is under 0.0100  you are fine with the 650 clock.

set your fans to 45%  your rpms will be 3900 maybe 3700


 if your temps are under 60-62 for all three blades you are fine.

let us know if freq 650 and fans at 45%

work for you.
