Title: 1200w PSU power a 2 board S9?
Post by: A.Delaney on February 10, 2018, 03:40:06 AM
I want to pull the apw3 from it to power a new S9 I just got. If a 1200w hp psu will run it then I’ll grab one of those instead of another apw3.

Probably.
You'll need to read the specs very carefully on the HP power supply.

You must have at least 1000W on the 12V rail.
You must have at least 7x 6 pin 12V PCIE connectors and cables. These are often listed as 6+2 connectors.

The 1200W rating is the total rating of the power supply. Most modern supplies have a 12V internal power rail and all other voltages are produced from that rail. This means all the power is available at 12V but only if you do not use the other voltage outputs.

No worries .

Even with 120 volt it will do the job.
