Title: how can I power my antminer s1 Post by: retrojka on May 29, 2014, 04:18:47 AM I got 2 antminer s1 in the mail today but am still waiting for my PSU. Can I use the psu in my other mining rig that has free connectors. The reason i ask is because the PSU in my mining rig is also powering the raspberry pi and motherboard that's running the rig. I know I have plenty of extra power in that PSU to run the 360w S1. Thanks

but sometimes some psu is not accepting 2 mining rigs at the same time like what happen to my corsair AX1200i i plug 2 s1 antminer to it and it will only run for like 10 to 20 mins and then shut down that i why i plug my 3 ants to a 3 different PSU Title: Re: how can I power my antminer s1 Post by: jonnybravo0311 on May 29, 2014, 05:49:25 AM you can why not? but sometimes some psu is not accepting 2 mining rigs at the same time like what happen to my corsair AX1200i i plug 2 s1 antminer to it and it will only run for like 10 to 20 mins and then shut down that i why i plug my 3 ants to a 3 different PSU The Corsair AX1200i has more than enough power to drive 2 S1s. I currently drive 2 overclocked S1s on a Corsair HX1050 with absolutely no issues. What else do you have on that PSU? If you're running your S1s at stock, that AX1200i can run all three.

If you're running your S1s at stock, that AX1200i can run all three. i dunno and observe it very carefuly for the past 2 days i will run perfectly for more than 10 mins and then shut down when 2 s1 is plug on that ax1200i but when i remove the other one then it will run continuesly i dunno what is the problem cause but i am also running back and forth to the shop and they gave me a 3 unit of ax1200i already before i decide to get a 3 different psu Title: Re: how can I power my antminer s1 Post by: jonnybravo0311 on May 29, 2014, 06:29:18 AM Odd... and to have it repeated through 3 different PSUs... you sure the guy at the shop gave you new ones, and didn't just hand you back the one you returned? :P
At least you managed to get your miners running successfully.

each blade separetly.Runs fine althoght not the ideal but can be done (not overclocked) Title: Re: how can I power my antminer s1 Post by: retrojka on May 29, 2014, 05:52:49 PM I am also short on one PSU and found two really cheep older free market bought PSUs and I power each blade separetly.Runs fine althoght not the ideal but can be done (not overclocked) I was wondering about that too. Can I use 2 PSU to power each blade in the s2? And why do you say its not ideal? Thanks |
