Title: S9 PSU 2880w? Post by: inerax on November 30, 2017, 09:53:00 PM Hey guys, just wondering what PSU's you use for your S9's and any where you source them. I have seen the 2880w PSU that can run 2 S9's. Is this a good idea? Should I buy 1 PSU per S9?
Let me know what you think. I am using a Tripp Lite PDUH20HVL6 PDU with 240v connectors. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2880W-Server-PSU-2x10-PCI-E-Harness-Power-Supply-fr-Two-x2-Antminer-S9-S7-L3-K-/172858177243 Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w? Post by: jbillk on November 30, 2017, 10:11:10 PM I Run EVGA 1600W Titanium @ 240V. From Amazon.
96%+ Efficiency. 10 year warranty. Running great... Have it connected to my Tripp Lite 30A, 240v PDU. Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w? Post by: alred911 on November 30, 2017, 10:39:50 PM your PSU is an overkill and expensive
just go with that it will do https://www.parallelminer.com/product/110v120v-80-platinum-power-supply-for-s9-antminer/ Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w? Post by: jbillk on November 30, 2017, 11:00:10 PM PSU is the most critical component, and doesn't depreciate like miners. Don't cheap out... Get it from a reputable manufacture.

Get it from a reputable manufacture. So don't get something like this? - I was looking to stay away from running 2x psu's per rig. I will be adding 7-12 s9's next month and more in jan. Just wanted to make it simple https://www.ebay.com/itm/1600W-APW3-Mining-Power-Supply-Fit-For-Antminer-Miner-S9-S7-L3-D3-AC-176-264-V/282752209587?hash=item41d55852b3:g:mTgAAOSwk~ZaDV5m Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w?

I was going to run 2x S9s with that. Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w?

Would love to see some real world tests on that before pulling the trigger. Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w?

The link below shows someone selling them but no longer makes the kits. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=966135.0 Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w?

You say that yet you post you are running an ATX power supply. ATX power supplies are not meant to handle near their full rated output 24/7/365. They are a terrible choice for bitcoin miners.

They are a terrible choice for bitcoin miners. And why is that? better efficiency and 10 year warranty is key. Great availability and support. This one is rated to run 1600w continuous. Its running at less than 80% load. Maybe provide a little more technical detail on why they are no good for this application? Its the best option. Title: Re: S9 PSU 2880w?
