Title: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards? Post by: BBitcoin92 on March 14, 2022, 01:48:43 PM Hi All
I am looking to run an Antminer S9 with just one or two cards, reduce fan speeds and use a quite ATX style PSU instead of the loud 1600/1800w server type with blaring fans. I have been searching and i also have a 750w ATX psu at hand but they only have one 6 pin PCIE style connector and a load of other 5v/12v sata connectors i think they are? Is there an ATX PC style PSU available with 4 or 7 PCIE plugs on it (i will try with one card first so 4 plugs will suffice/1 control board, 3 to hash board). Does anybody know of one and what wattage would need for 1 card or 2 cards/fans/controller. Thanks Title: Re: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards?

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm1000x-cp-9020201-na-1000w/p/N82E16817139273? I suggest you program the unit with braiins. and set watts to 1100 thus you will use. ⅔ of 1100 = 720 watts it will work Title: Re: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards?

Another question which i think i need to start a new thread on is what is the best position for the boards when you have bank 6, 7 and 8. I find ALL my S9's fail on board/bank 8 (furthest away from pcie connection on control board). I also don't think placing them in banks 6 and 8 with a missing board in the middle would be better?? Anyone checked this, i have searched but no answers. Thanks for advice, much appreciated. Title: Re: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards?

I have found they all pretty much fail any way they want to. But I only had about 50 s9's with under 10 bad boards. Title: Re: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards?

It runs at 3.4Th at most. Is it worth me installing Brains OS and reducing the voltage/power? Also shoul i install Brains software on all my other S9s as i only use Slushpool because it has a great UI. Thanks Title: Re: Anyone recommend an ATX powers supply for an Antminer with 1 or 2 cards?

Thanks The purpose here is only for noise reduction. Power usage is not a concern. Just noise. So basically looking for one card set up using an ATX supply. Anyone done this, the main misuse are going to be the miner fans now I presume. Brains software and want to set it at? Any mods to make physically like adding a inlet/outlet muffler or are they snake oil? Using ducting is not an option. Thanks again |
