Title: Power for my S1's
Post by: Ace_Of_Fades on March 05, 2016, 02:41:49 PM
So I found a guy selling two S1 AntMiners on kijiji for a really good price. I purchase them both and now I'm in need of a power supply. I have two questions. Would I be able to power up two miners with one power supply? Would this power supply (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007) do the job? As I have one laying in my basement. Any information will help, thanks.  :D

Thats more than enough. I assume you know youll make a loss or have free electricity.
Those things are built like tanks, so you can overclock them because your psu provides so much elec.

Lol I'm going to build the rig in the corner of the warehouse at my work, I asked my bosses and they don't care. So I won't be paying for the power. xD I've though about overclocking them but I hear it increases the errors that you receive?

Stock setting on an S1 is 350MHz/180GH but a typical rig will push to 400MHz/205GH pretty well. The extra 13% hashrate more than makes up for the extra 1-2% errors. So your bosses are okay with adding $50 a month to the electric bill so you can mine $5?
