Title: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: billybit on June 12, 2017, 07:31:15 AM i have been sourcing for PSU for S9.
i had bought 3 PSU Delta 2400w (with breakout board) from Paralellminer/Centrix. Very high quality product however they cost about USD109 (exc courier) / USD140 each (including courier). ;D very happy with these products except for the price. http://www.parallelminer.com/product/2400watt-200v240v-power-supply-kit-for-2-antminer-r4-platinum-94-efficiency/ i had been browsing through Alibaba and they seem to have dedicated Antminer S7/S9 PSU. Approximately USD88 each (exclude transport). One company in particular seems to have a PSU division for mining ! ::) http://aplus-powersupply.com/products/bitcoin_powersupply quotation for S9 PSU: "S9 S7 Power supply (12V 140A 1680W) High quality industrial grade electronic parts&components to promise 24 hours long time working -100%New -Effciency 93~94% -Including 10 pcs 6pin PCIE connectors -Six months warranty EXW Price:$88/pc" i wanted to see what is your opinion on using these PRC PSU suppliers. ??? the key attraction is of course the price but question marks about the quality.....any feedback....

Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: Rabinovitch on June 14, 2017, 08:03:30 AM I use AHF-2DC-2100W PSUs with my S9s. It's cheap (if you're in USA), it's powerful, and it looks to be reliable (I used PSUs of this model with Alcheminers). I also use 2 of such PSUs in GPU rigs.
Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: billybit on June 15, 2017, 08:03:30 AM thank you Rabinovitch
i was looking to connect it to S9 but i guess the challenge would be looking for the break-out boards....for this particular model...thanks for responding anyhow. Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: Sandal_Hat on June 18, 2017, 07:54:03 PM I wouldnt risk buying that from alibaba as they can fake alot of items there.
Quality is important here. Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: leowonderful on June 19, 2017, 12:53:37 AM Buying noname brand PSUs has always been a bad thing and will always be a bad thing until someone comes up with proof the PSU works. Stick with server PSUs with BBS and trusted brandnames for PSUs. A bad one could mean a dead miner.
Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: billybit on June 19, 2017, 02:20:06 AM i was reading about PSU from Johnnyguru (http://www.jonnyguru.com/). so many things can go wrong for. especially so if running a 24/7 farm.
thanks for the reminder to focus on quality. anyone got any idea how long a decent server psu (delta/hp etc) can last ? Title: Re: PSU for Antminer S9 Post by: QuintLeo on June 19, 2017, 08:27:20 AM Server power supplies from reputable makers can last a very long time.
Delta isn't as well known for their power supplies as their "OMG THAT'S A LOT OF CFM BUT LOUD" fans, but they have been quietly making some of the best in the business for a long time - and many "Dell" "HP" etc server power supplies supplies are Delta-built. |
