Title: Whatminer M3 Post by: midorsey7 on April 19, 2021, 10:17:24 PM I just bought one today. What is a good power supply to use.
Thank you Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on April 19, 2021, 10:43:16 PM For a start, how power is it rated to pull? Do be aware that if it uses more than around 1,100 watts you will need 208-240VAC to power it.
edit: Miner needs 2,200w PSU so Bitmain APW series will not work. Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: midorsey7 on April 20, 2021, 04:37:52 PM Mine hasa whatspower P5 installed . But when i plug it in to the wall it does not turn on.
Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on April 21, 2021, 04:52:00 PM That is a 2,200w PSU which requires 208-240VAC power. Is that what you are feeding it? It will NOT work if fed 120v.
Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: midorsey7 on April 22, 2021, 03:53:26 PM I tried ot plug it into the wall and it did not turn on.
I can not find a power supply for it. Which one should i buy? Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on April 22, 2021, 05:04:50 PM Again, what voltage is the wall socket? 120vac? 208-240vac? The voltage MUST be over 208vac or the PSU will not start.
Even telling us your country would give a clue as to what your common voltage is... As for replacement PSU's you need to check with the manufacturer (https://www.microbt.com) because for the past few years most miners are using custom built-to-spec PSU's that deliver non-standard voltages (not just 12v) to power the miners.

Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on April 23, 2021, 10:59:58 PM I am in the United States and I have a standard 15 amp outlet Then that is your problem.Normal power in the US is 115-120VAC and as has been repeatedly said the miner requires 208-240v. Find an unused dryer or stove outlet (which are all 220-230V in the US), get the correct cord and I bet it works.... Not being snarky but -- if you do not even know that normal power in the US is 120VAC then things do not bode well for you with this venture...

I know someone who use an inverter with 2 truck batteries connected in series. He has 2 servers running 24/7. I dont know more details yet and hope to get some answers about it. Next week I'll check that out to see how it works. Title: Re: Whatminer M3 Post by: Peripatetic on June 04, 2021, 09:07:16 PM I just bought one today. What is a good power supply to use. Thank you Hello, From where did you buy it?? Expensive? Cand you provide more details?

Which one should i buy? i have a few m3 and what i know is that they dont turn on if you are not using whatsminer own psu provided whit the miner. the miners psu has a cable connected to the controller wich allows it to controlll fan rpm and something more. you will need to get a m3 psu for it to work , they only work for about 5mins and shutdown whit random psus. |
