Title: APW3-12-1600 (S7 PSU) -- mining rig Post by: tiamatt on April 01, 2016, 08:20:40 PM Hello
Is possible to use APW3-12-1600 , (s7 psu) to power a mining rig (4 X Sapphire Radeon HD 7970) ? Thank you Title: Re: APW3-12-1600 (S7 PSU) -- mining rig Post by: philipma1957 on April 01, 2016, 08:27:46 PM Hello Is possible to use APW3-12-1600 , (s7 psu) to power a mining rig (4 X Sapphire Radeon HD 7970) ? Thank you maybe but not really you need to understand how to keep the power from the miner psu away from the mobo and a second psu Title: Re: APW3-12-1600 (S7 PSU) -- mining rig Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on April 01, 2016, 08:30:17 PM Sure as long as the GPU's are using 6-pin PCIe connectors. Many cards are using 8-pin connectors. Beyond that, as long as total power they need is a bit less than the 1600w the Bitmain PSU can supply (ALWAYS give some reserve margin!) yer golden.

He still need a multi GPU setup, since a PC require 4/8 pins for the CPU and 24ATX connector, then the risers need sata/molex, etc. Thus he need to power the risers with the PC's ATX, only then can he use the server PSU to power the GPU's. And he need to power the PSU probably at the same time.

I do have a setup using the 2880W PSUs I sell with 12 GPU and it works..

It would provide power for motherboard etc. and Bitmain PSU for GPUs. So I mean that the 12VDC PC power supply would be connected to Bitmain PSU's 12VDC Title: Re: APW3-12-1600 (S7 PSU) -- mining rig Post by: padrino on April 01, 2016, 09:03:42 PM You can split it with an ATX PSU but if the 12V loads are mismatched it will give the motherboard a real hard time..

(Somehow) That can work, or you can power the whole lot from the server PSU with a purpose built 12V ATX supply, that is what I do.. The server PSU handes 12V duties for the whole system including motherboard..

but is this confirmed to be working safe? i have 6x asus strix oc rx470's that run on 6 pin pcie, was thinking about running mobo/cpu/ram/ssd/pcie risers off a 650w corsair and powering the gpu's from bitmain apw3+ 1600w (s7 spu) .. just dont want to risk fkn anything. or would running dual atx be a saver option? as i have a Corsair 1000W RMX sitting idle atm too?

Perhaps try posting in an altcoin area for an answer? ;) Title: Re: APW3-12-1600 (S7 PSU) -- mining rig Post by: chiminwon on June 08, 2017, 06:38:03 AM maybe it will work.
