1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Power Supply Selection on: August 09, 2015, 04:07:09 AM
I'm looking to purchase one power supply that we can confirm will work with 2 Antminer S3's, each over clocked, with 8xPCI-E 6 pin power connectors to power all 4 rails.

I was reading on the Corsair cx750M that it can power one Antminer S3, possibly even two, but not over clocked.

I'd rather not fumble around, should I get a corsair 850, 1000, or something completely different?

Cheapest and most efficient would be preferred.

If you could point me to the right model # that would be great.

Thanks for your help Smiley

I'm hoping this thread is in the right spot Smiley

I've had two brand new Antminer S3's (w/ no power supplies) just chilling on a desk for the last 8 months doing nothing and just now putting aside the time to devote myself to figuring out this whole Bitcoin mining thing. Yay!

So this is my first post Smiley

I'd like to get some beginner information such as the best places to start learning exactly what I need to learn and what to avoid with the intention to have the shortest possible learning curve and get up and running as soon as possible please Smiley

So far I've read this AntMinerS3 Tutorial a couple of times and have an idea what needs to be done.
http://www.rubicite.com/Tutorials/AntMinerS3Tutorial.aspx

One area I am hung up on is the power supply.

I would really like to just buy one really good power supply that can support both Antminer S3's, each over clocked, and of course with enough cables to power all 4 rails.

So yeah, that pretty much where I am at...

I'm looking forward to learning lots about this and making it work!

Thank you so much for any and all wisdom that you pioneers have to share with a newbie such as myself.

Thanks a ton!
