Title: PSU for Antminer C1
Post by: KeiBui on November 14, 2014, 08:46:14 AM
Dear all
I've setup a new C1 with systemcooling kit (http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45) with Seasonic 1050 but the PSU always shut down after 1 minute. Do you guys have any idea?
Tks

Try to load 5V/3.3V line, maybe PSU have some protection and if only 12V line is load it shuting down after a while.
You can use PSU tester - like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Computer-PC-LCD-20-24-Pin-PSU-ATX-SATA-HD-Power-Supply-Tester-/171299715309?pt=US_Computer_Power_Supply_Testers&hash=item27e24238ed) or this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HOT-Black-PC-20-24-Pin-PSU-ATX-SATA-HD-Power-Supply-Tester-/130453267488?pt=US_Computer_Power_Supply_Testers&hash=item1e5f9ee420)
I use OCZ 850W GOLD and its working fine, so 1050W should be enough.

Ask in my C1 thread (http://goo.gl/sL5J1d) or the Bitmain C1 thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=841344.0), we don't need lots of them.

That's a top quality PSU. Have you used it with anything else?

To get 8 PCI-e in one PSU it is normally higher quality companies.  (There are a few exceptions).   But for most part I think people have used nice PSU's.  Personally I gold on most everything.

A lot of people trying to lower cost keep asking about using 2 lower PSU's.  You could buy 2 500 watt with 4 PCIe much cheaper.  But I won't risk using two myself.

check your PSU if its compatible with your antminer C1 or not.
