Title: Power Antminer S7 with 3 PSUs: Is that possible? Post by: DinosaurBit on December 27, 2017, 02:20:36 PM I have 3x EVGA 600 Bronze PSUs.
Can I power an Antminer S7 safely with them (1 PSU per board)? Thanks! Title: Re: Power Antminer S7 with 3 PSUs: Is that possible? Post by: hoschi on December 27, 2017, 03:11:28 PM Not really...
1st you only have 2 PCIE plugs..one PCIE plug can handle only 150Watts.... 2nd the PSU has 2 12V rails not one. Title: Re: Power Antminer S7 with 3 PSUs: Is that possible?

You are wrong the EVGA has ONE 12v rail but thats irrelevant as the psu has not got enough connectors and would require adaptors which are just not worth the risk really.

Just make sure the PSU powering the controller is turned on last or you wont see all 3 boards.
