Title: PSU for over-clocked (200GH) Antminer Post by: bigredbutton on January 28, 2014, 12:55:42 AM The Antminer I received did not come with a power supply unit. I believe it is over-clocked to around 200G/H. What sort of PSU should I get? Links to PSU available for purchase online would be greatly appreciated.
I also would like to install another fan. What size Fan does the Antminer use? Title: Re: PSU for over-clocked (200GH) Antminer Post by: tiaremaru on January 28, 2014, 01:54:33 AM I just set mine up today. I am using this:

I searched the forum and saw someone went with this one. Would the 550 be okay for an overclocked one? and it looks like I can attach the power supply to the other end and use that fan. Is that a proper set-up? Title: Re: PSU for over-clocked (200GH) Antminer Post by: ScaryHash on January 28, 2014, 02:59:07 AM Get at least a 600.
Most power supplies run more efficiently at 80% load. If it's overclocked, it's sucking down at least 450 w, which is what mine did at 400 mhz. By the way, some AntMiners get high hardware error rates at 400 mhz (mine did). I clocked it down to 375 and it's still running 450 w.

Title: Re: PSU for over-clocked (200GH) Antminer Post by: bigredbutton on January 28, 2014, 05:30:51 AM So i connected the PCI-E cords from the power supply to the 2 board and no power. Is there a set-up guide somewhere, or did someone already ask about setting up an Antminer somewhere on the forum? I could provide pics if someone is willing to help. I thought the miner would be ready to go out of the box.

I thought the miner would be ready to go out of the box. How did you switch on the power supply? There are setup threads in the Custom Hardware subforum. Title: Re: PSU for over-clocked (200GH) Antminer Post by: bigredbutton on January 28, 2014, 06:01:39 AM Found the set-up thread. Looks like I need to do some reading and tinkering since its a tiny bit more complicated then plug and play. I will redirect my questions about set-up to that sub-forum, thanks! :)
