With a brand name you usually find better components inside as well as better coverage on the warranty. :)

Is it the overal wattage, look at the 12volt rail Limited Edition GOLD fan version of the Alpine PSU Features SLI ready psu with 4 x Sata Silent 120mm fan with low noise technology <20dBA Packaged in designer retail box Quiet fan with thermal control Black coated casing 24 pin; 4 Pin (12V) (Sleeved) ; 2 x 6 pin PCI-e / SLI ready; 4 x Sata; 3 x 4 pin; 1 x FDD Cable length 45cm Meets Intel v2.03 enhanced +12V 230V with rear on/off power down button Over-voltage and current protection +3.3V;+5V;+12V 100% Burn in and hipot tested; short circuit protection EMI Filter built in CE/ FCC/ UL approved ROHS Compliant +3.3V 22A; +5V 32A; +12V 34A; -12V 0.5A; +5VSB 2.0A 34 x 12 = 408 watts . At best I would not use this psu. Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: jbmac1967 on July 31, 2014, 11:36:21 AM Thanks, so using that formula. What is the minimum watt on the 12v line should be used

I just picked up a Corsair CX600M for my S1. On Monday I will use it for the new S3 ... Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: jbmac1967 on July 31, 2014, 11:58:57 AM Also seen it is advised to connect 4xPCI-E slots to the S3, but most of the PSU i have seen only have 2 PCI-E
Tired searching but there is just SO many pages Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: Atomar on July 31, 2014, 12:00:27 PM S3 does NOT require 4 PCI-E. 2 are OK unless you OC' it
Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: jbmac1967 on July 31, 2014, 04:47:01 PM Thanks atomar
So just connect a PSU into each "set" of PCI-E slots on the antminer Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: jbmac1967 on July 31, 2014, 04:49:24 PM After looking at the 12v rail and doing the calculation
What is the minimum power needed to run an s3 Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: jbmac1967 on August 01, 2014, 09:08:52 PM What sort of power is needed after using the 12V rail calculation
Title: Re: Antminer S1 or S3 Power Supply in UK Post by: allcoinminer on August 04, 2014, 07:27:14 PM After looking at the 12v rail and doing the calculation What is the minimum power needed to run an s3 Ideally you only need 340Watts in +12V rail if S3 is running at stock clock. 340Watts in +12V rail means 340/12= 28.33A. This is in theory. But when you run a load for 24hours every day and in practical considerations this 28A in 12V is not sufficient. The PSU sizing may be done by making the rated load to 125%. So, the antminer consumption should be considered as 340*1.25 = 425Watts. So select a good branded power supply were their +12V single rails is giving at least 425Watts or 35A.
