How's the  PSU's sound levels at 1/2 and near full load? Looks like they use the little turbine fans.

IT is good at 1200 watts or 1 unit/.

it is why I got 5 psu's as in house it is a bit too noisy to run two of them on one unit.

That is one serious fuckup... You and your gear are very lucky the PSU crowbar'd - I believe you mention that it was discovered on power-up right?

Ja you have it right - the same color wires connect to the same side of the plugs on the ends of the cables. Even if they get the blk and yel sets reversed when compared to other cables what matters is that both ends MUST be the same.

yeah  the delta psu did its job  or by by avalon 741

five of these on hand the psu's are great.

phil, whats the average profitability you are seeing mining bcc per TH?  profit in BCC is fine...

Might make it worthwhile to use the old S7 as a space heater this winter.

Are you pointing them at altcoin pools or solely a bcc pool/nicehash?

been using viabtc.com

i do pplns

and I do some solo ------  about ½ day  the other ½ I point at mmpool.org  then I go back to 6 days of bcc at viabtc.

I am hold some bcc and some btc

I cash  some of each.

I mine some btc.

A move will be made here  with bcc and btc

I am straddling by mining and holding both

I ordered one  pdu  55 for that is good price.  looks like I can turn it on and off

I'm sure you will like it. Just tested one of the PDUs and it worked fine. Can manage and measure via telnet/ssh/snmp or built-in web server. Has DHCP enabled by default. Needed to reset to factory defaults to regain root access. http://www.baytech.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Reset-Modular-Horizontal.pdf

One other unit I opened randomly had its management board cable unplugged. No idea why.

He cancelled my sell.

Oh well.

I contacted the BayTech these units could solve allot of my fine tuning issues , they linked me up with a local supplier and I'll find out what the price is for new/refurbished units .

He said they also provide Metering for Panels, and individual outlets , could be interesting.

Another good, but more expensive option for a PDU with switching+metering for individual outlets is the APC AP8641 (that particular model).
http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/Rack-PDU-2G-Metered-by-Outlet-with-Switching-ZeroU-30A-200-208V-21-C13-3-C19/P-AP8641?isCurrentSite=true

I have two and will be getting rid of them because they are too large and simply overkill for what I use them for. New they go for about $1,500. Sometimes pop up used on ebay for $300-$500. There is one brand new unit going on ebay right now with a good low starting price. If that one goes for well over 200, you can shoot me a PM and we will see what we can do.

I have plenty of pdu.s
The one you linked was a good price.
I don't need any at 80 or 100 or worse yet 200

No worries.

Why Can't you tell the approximate ROI for a giving country and electricity price? Seriously, im just curious don't get it.


Coins can shoot up' in price .   So if you mine and hold. Your roi is speed up a lot.

Coins can crash in price . So if you mine and hold . Your roi is slowed down a lot.

Coin can shoot  up in price. So if you are mining and selling your roi is slowed.

Coins can drop in price. So if you were mining and selling your roi is not as slow.

All those variations  are just a small reason. Why prediction is hard.

I never go past a month.
All I try to do is keep miners that earn more then the power cost.

So if a miner makes 1000 a month and the power cost is 200

I am 800 plus. I put 400 to paying for the gear. And keep 400 in the coin.

It is a juggling act.
It becomes easier if you are ahead.
My gear is paid.
So if I
Earn 1000 and power is 200 I have 800 profit.
I would cash 400 and hold 400 in coin.

The cash in my case is profit not for paying off the gear.

phillipma1957 - you are the bomb!  I did not explain myself completely.  Luckily I have just been in "talks" with the electrician and he has not done anything yet.  Also, I havn't purchased the PDU yet.  My only real fuck up was purchasing the two 120v power supplies from minerwarez.  Ugh, oh well, I can probably just throw them on Ebay.

Ok, you have set me straight and I appreciate it!  I will talk with the electrician about running two 30 amps.  btw - he did recommend using 6 gauge wire for a 50 amp.  Anyway, I will find the PDUs I want and show them to the electrician.

I am a noob starting an in-home mine utilizing 5 Avalon 741s.  I've posted previously and gotten some great feedback.  But now, I'm realizing that I don't fully understand something which is probably fundamental.  Here it goes...

So, I've talked to an electrician.  Because I will need to consume about 5500 watts for the 5 Avalon's, and because I would like plenty of room for expansion, we agreed to run a 50amp 240v line from my subpanel.  If my math is correct, this should provide 50x240 = 12,000 watts, right?  Now, here is where I get lost.  Rather than having the electrician create a bunch of outlets for me, I want him to install a PDU.  My questions are:

1) I don't know much about PDUs.  Can I throttle each "outlet" on the PDU to be 6 amps X 240v to give 1440 watts per outlet?
2) If I go this 240v route, does this mean I cannot use two 120v Avalon power supplies which I already purchased?  My power supplies will have to be rated for 240v, right?
3) Can anyone recommend a PDU to plug into my 50amp 240v line?  Should I be looking for 1 or 2 pdus?

I'm kinda lost on PDUs.

Thanks,
Steve



FIRST.. you cannot plug your 120V Avalon power supply to your 240V electricity supply.. you're gonna fry that in an instant. Check first your AVALON POWER SUPPLY if it is auto volt (110V ~ 240V). IF it is not, then you will be needing a step-down transformer (240V-120V) in order to operate your 120V avalon power supply to your 240V electricity. OR you can change the avalon power supply to be a 240V input supply. Check which way is cheaper.

Check also the power rating of the PDU how much power it can handle. Do not overload it, it will blow its fuse, worse burn it. Just follow the post above of philipma


missed the 120 volt  psu's  


op link them please.

avalon listed these at 176-264 volts

https://canaan.io/product/sorcerer-power-supply-unit/


minerwarez have these at  110-120 to 200-240v  I know these work ate 120 and 240 I have them

Hi, I wish to start mining some coins, I have just purchased some Gridseed 5 miners. It is not my intention to stick with these but I want to use them to learn my way around.
I have had a stroke and I struggle a little with retaining stuff that I used to take for granted. I have signed up here and hope to join a pool when I am up and running. I am not expecting the miners to be profitable, but I am already burning 1.2 - 1.5 KW to heat my studio so I will use the heat generated buy the rig for heating the place.

My question about the PSU. I would like to be able to run 20 Gridseed 5 chip miners. If I understand correctly they are each 12 V 6 Amp and 60-70 watts
I do not want to run 20 individual PSU's. I would appreciate it if  someone could point me to a PSU that will run 10 miners or 20 miners. I do not mind if I need to buy a single unit or 2 units.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Lol.  Yes, I probably did fuck up.  But I thought a PDU had the ability to fan out power?  TO basically control the amount of power to each outlet on the strip, no?


no  that is really costly and not needed for mining.


did he put in the circuit?
did he use 6 gauge wire?
what does the receptacle look like?

Let's go slow.

You fucked up. ------- slightly

Give me a minute to go to a real pc.

You need to understand this very simply a pdu is basically a power strip.  that safely derates  the circuit breaker 20%

so a 30 amp circuit uses a 24 amp pdu  which allows for   5200 to 5500 watts safely


there are endless quality 30 amp pdus on ebay  for 50 bucks

they will do  about 5200-5500 watts safely  30 x 240 = 7200 x 80% = 5760 watts max   4 avalon 4's at full power  5 at -1 or --2 setting.

if he put in a 50 amp circuit   you need   a 50 amp pdu  and did you see if he used 6 gauge wire to do it?

50 amp pdu's cost big money  if new  over 300.

a 50 amp circuit was a mistake but you did it.

but luckily  here is a 40 amp  pdu  for sale

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-417587-D71-PDU-40AMP-High-Voltage-228481-007-376274-001-/152703430194?


it can safely do 40 x 240 = 9600 watts


and since you are 50 amp circuit  50 x 240 = 12000 watts  x 80% =  9600 watts

so that works

now  look at that pdu  and buy it   show the plug on it to the electrician and have him hook it up.

then buy 4 of these

these can do 2400 watts each  2 avalon 741's each

http://www.parallelminer.com/product/power-supply-kit-for-2-antminer-d3-dash-miners-94-platinum-high-efficiency-200-240v/


so that is 4 x 2400 = 9600 watts


the fuckup you did is not too bad.  but I can not see  the plug on the pdu   to tell you what plug to use.

I told you get the 24 amp pdu's  but you did not listen.


If you really wanted more power he could of run a 60 amp sub panel  with  two 30 amp fuses

you then could have had  2 pdus  each doing 24 amps  total of 48 amps or 48 x 240 = 11520 watts max

how about we just tell everyone that ask this to buy coins instead? probably better for the ecosystem as a whole and far less time consuming
second best answer or maybe first best answer.

Depends if you game or if you don't game.

Every gamer should mine.

And if you don't game and have no gear on hand  buy a coin and hold.
