Ok, still looking for answer if Corsair VS650 would be good to power 1 S3? I am not good with that stuff, so I will not be modifying server PSUs.
I originally deviated from my corsair cx500's that I used for the S1 and bought some sentry 750w due to the "4 pcie" but those POS won't even power one s3 when hashing starts (it powers off). They would only power half the s3. I am now powering my s3's with some cx500's. My s1's have been running on the same supplies for months... Four are using cx430 which were slightly modified... Ok, is VS650 good to power 1 S1? Because S1 needs only 1 4pin connector as far as I remember.. |

According to the table http://www.corsair.com/~/media/Corsair/download-files/manuals/DC_Cable_consolidation_Rev_28.pdf the VS650 has only one PCIe cable, and therefore is not suitable to run an S3. You need two PCIe cables, four if you plan to overclock (plus higher wattage). EDIT:- above assumes you don't want to use 4-pin molex to PCIe converters. Hmm I dont know then any other PSU good for powering 1 miner, can someone help me? |

For 1 S3 you should be fine. Even over clocking it it shouldn't pull more than 450 watts, which is about only 75% efficiency. Most PSU's can handle 75-80% efficiency without issue, and Corsair has good products in general. Ok good, what about the cables? Is it ok if 2x 6pin connectors are on the same cable? |

Ok ok good, so Corsair VS650 should be good, as I have read it has 2x PCIe 6pin connectors, right?
|
|
|
|
I am planning to run 1 with 1 PSU, so no problem  Do I need 2x 4pin or 6pin connectors to power it without overclocking? |
|

Ok you guys are right. So what about corsair vs650? I have read under specs that it has 2x PCIE 6pin connectors, but those probably wont fit the S3?
|

Ok I understand. I found some really cheap PSUs ( Tecnoware ) 500W PSU for 25€....what you guys say about that? If they are ok to use, I would use 1 on each miner.

im using a 750w to power two without any problems
Really? Thats kinda awesome...but I would like to overclock them a little bit, at least to 480 GHs. |

Ok I have a few questions I would like to ask about S3s.
What is good ( in terms of safety and watts / GHs ) clock speed to overclock my S3 miners?
And what PSU would you suggest me to run 2 miners at that clock speed?
I have already posted my question in one of S3 threads, but my post got behind so fast, so I decided to make a new thread.
Thanks.

So..what PSU are you guys planning to use on S3 units? Is there any PSU that could power 2 of them with enough watts and cable slots (because 1 requires 4 PCIe cables if OCed of course), so 8 in total for 2 units.

Ok here is the exact copy and paste of the path...
C:\Miner\bfg
|
|
|
|
|
Windows cannot find bfgminer.exe
Not sure what that is :O I am sure I wrote correctly..
|
|
|
|
|
Ok thank you, so I wrote cd C:\Miner\bfg and I get \Miner\bfg is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
|
|
|
|
|
I got the directory name is not valid..
|

No, now I get the same error, but the miner closes then.
Run cgminer with a command prompt, and see what the error is. Then we can help. Sorry, how exactly do I do that? |

Ok, I think I know what might be the problem. Right when I open bfgminer I get following message:
Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3
And then it goes on and start mining. One miner seems to perform normaly when the other one has abou 95 to 100 % HW.
Try running your miner as an administrator. Or install the COM drivers and configure them properly. Tried running as admin, same error. Also I have downloaded that driver, computer now detects them under devices on control panel |
