Title: best 1000w to run 3 antminer off of? Post by: precrime3 on March 16, 2014, 02:34:11 AM Seems like best is the xfx pro series 1050w. Guaranteed continuous operation at 50c, etc. $180, so cheap too. Is this the best option, or should I get a "server grade" atx psu?

If you are good with electronics and want to save some money, perhaps sacrificing some AC-DC efficiency, you can get high wattage PSU such as IBM bladecenter or HP or dell blade system power supplies very cheap (second hand) on ebay. Maybe some even sealed in new packaging for a good price. 2000 watt bladecenter PSU regularly on sale for $50+postage where I live. Title: Re: best 1000w to run 3 antminer off of? Post by: precrime3 on March 16, 2014, 02:04:00 PM I have been thinking of that, and there are some interface boards that have shown up, but I don't really want to take the risk. I know corsair, seasonic psus are good, but I need one that can run 24/7 at near full load.

I know corsair, seasonic psus are good, but I need one that can run 24/7 at near full load. I've run over a dozen Corsair AX1200 PSU's at near full load 24/7 for months at a time without a single failure. I've run 4 BE Cubes off one for over a month overclocked which is right about 100-110% load. Title: Re: best 1000w to run 3 antminer off of? Post by: precrime3 on March 16, 2014, 03:42:48 PM Picking a great PSU is easy, but im on a budget.... :P So im left with either getting a Tier 2 psu or several low wattage psus, like cx 500m. It seems like my best option is getting two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438007
Only problem is, the multi rail design. 4 rails, each 20 amps. Im only running 3 antminers though, each pull 28, probably more OC'ed. SO would it be reasonable to get each psu to run one antminer, then each psu power one blade of the third miner? Title: Re: best 1000w to run 3 antminer off of?

Inglewood and a few other members offer 10-20% off amazon purchases if you pay with B. If you want stability and reliability budget is not the way to go. If you want budget power you do usually get what you pay for :) Server PSU's or straight 12VDC supplies may be better for you if price is your concern. Title: Re: best 1000w to run 3 antminer off of? Post by: precrime3 on March 16, 2014, 04:17:30 PM Could you show me where to find these people? If I could get a discount by paying in BTC that be great xD also I'm not going ultra budget, I really only need a psu that can run 2, and then will be buying another one with profits. It be nice to get one that can run 3, or even two, but if that's not feasible I'll just stick to getting one psu to run two miners, then buying another one when I get the other antminer.
