Title: Two Antminer l3+ on One APW3++ Post by: ra11e on February 22, 2019, 02:18:40 PM Hi there,
I am currently browsing for the option to use two L3+ on one APW3++. basically i own one Antminer L3+ with Blissz Modified Firmware, so it uses 600 Watts for 460 Mh/s. Since my PSU has 1600 Watts i started thinking, Could i buy 9 PCIe Y-cables, attach them to the apw3++ and then hook up two L3+? I did find a video that Bitmain once sold the apw3++ with 18 connectors, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KdaXc0zNOM Any thoughts, tips and tricks ? :) Cheers Ralf Title: Re: Two Antminer l3+ on One APW3++ Post by: fanatic26_ on February 22, 2019, 05:37:54 PM This is defintely possible but you need to make sure you dont daisy chain too many splitters and try and run too much power through the initial connector coming off of the PSU.

5 to one and 5 to the other. do not split. and down clock just a little bit try to do 550 watts + 550 watts = 1100 watts it comes to 110 watts for each cable and if you were mining the s9 it pulls that per cable you simply do not need to split the cables. the pcie jacks can do 150 watts each the cables can do 120 watts each so you will be fine.
