Need help choosing psu for my antminer s7

[runnerman1]

First off I purchased the EVGA SuperNOVA 1300w psu thinking its is enough. This is how it is setup https://imgur.com/Eig0vG4  I have lots of those "vga" 8 pin to 6+2 pin connectors that will connect to my miner. Can I use these? Also is it safe to go from 8 pin to 6 pin? Also some of those 8 pin give 2 6+2 pin giving me a total of 8 possible 6 pin connections to my miner... I just want to not risk burning my miner because I gave it too much power on one pci-e

If this doesn't work, I will buy 2 separate power supplies because I only have an 120v/15amp outlet. So what power supplies do I need to to run the miner?

Keep the evga 1300 run it on 2 boards use all six cables

and then get a 760 watt psu  run 1 board/blade and the controller.

if you want I have a quality seasonic  760 watt platinum used good price.

some will tell you the evga 1300  can do the trick and on the batch 1 or batch they worked you could split cables.

if you have a batch 8 or newer do it right.  I can sell the platinum  seasonic to you cheap. with 4 pcie connectors

you could add a new evga 750 watt http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_5?


this would do 1 blade and the controller

Well my miner is from batch 8, and I don't want to spent more money than I already did for this psu. I can return mine and buy a 850 watt psu and buy your 760 platnuim one. Would that be fine?

I don't know about the 850.... "Power Consumption: 1293W + 10% (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25C ambient temp)".  It seems like you are wanting to push a PSU hard.... not sure why.

Keep the EVGA 1300 its a good PSU.  You can sell it after if you need to when your finnaly done mining with it.  And get the one phil is selling.   I don't see reason to go to 850 to power 2 hashing modules... and try to push the psu.

Good point, but I just want to make sure is my set up safe to run on the miner?

Like i said in PM's, the 1300 is good. Just get a second PSU, even a 650W G2/P2 would do for the last board. Put them on a surge suppressor and power everything simultaneously.

I ran that B8 for a bit like that. Albeit with a 1050GS and a 750G2. Same deal though.

I use evga 1600 P2 power supplies for the most part. I have 1 miner using 2 evga 1300 since they were laying around and 1 using a pair of hp server psu that I picked up from ebay because my normal supplier was out of 1600w psu.

I really like the 1600w p2 plenty of headroom so that you can turn the dial up to 11 for the overclock. I have a kill a watt on 1 of them and its pulling 1450ish watts at the wall.
