Hello,

I have an S9 and L3+ landing soon and I would like to buy 1 or 2 1600w PSU's

I have a bit of a question if thats ok? I have a 20pin APC+++ and a L3+ aready running of it. However the L3+ is over clocked 10% meaning a draw of approx 840w. The APC+++ as you all know is a 1600w PSU - and able to handle 2 (I think) L3+'s - but will it handle 2 overclocked L3+'s - too risky, be safe enough?

I currently have an S9 and L3+ (L3+ in transit and an S9 arrival 11-20th of Jan) so regardless of the answer to the above I still need a PSU

Pease make your offers inclusive of postage - UK or EU with priority postage. Use bitcointak forum escrow.

Many thanks

Just answering about L3 - 2 units drawing 1680W constantly from 1600W rated PSU will be too much. PSUs are designed to work with 100% load 24/7 not more than that. I guess you could run few hours, days with that load but not constant, you risking shorting life of your PSU. Cheap (but messy) solution is to buy another 500W PSU or anything like that and power one hashboard from it. So then your 1600W PSU will be safe.

Thank you for your reply,

I thought I might be chancing it and really it's not something you out to be risking for the sake of a PSU. I might just run them normally - but even then - 1540w's 24/7 - Bitmain say its grand to run 2 3+'s, but it does sound like a bit of an over-reach on the power supply front, I could possibly under clock them like 2% to bring it under 1500w until a better solution presents itself.

I think post from the US would reach N.Ireland by the 15th of Jan. So opening up the PSU to potential US sellers - just if on the custom sticker you could   decare the price as $40 or so -crazy how much tax we have to pay to get via the States when there seems to be no tax at all on the Chinese PSU's

Thanks again for your help Smiley

Far far too expensive. Please don't mistake my politeness for stupidity. Grin

Any number off APC++ on ebay I can pick up $180 delivered to my door. I am just testing here to see if anyone has one gathering dust and they would like $120 worth of BTC or LTC? Not in a mad rush, just been looking at the 500w to power a hashing board in tandem with the APC+++ and can pick up an EVGA 500W 80 PLUS ATX to pick up the slack on one of the over clocked hashing boards for 2 L3+'s for $60. May not be very neat, but I don't think these efforts are going to win any beauty pagents as it is. Cheers crypto curious!

$120 of coin here for a 1600w APC++ or similar (min gold) delivered to the UK via escrow.

Thanks

I figured it was more. Ok I’ll price match it for $120 for each. Shippings only like $40 I checked. I pulled $120 out my ass for some reason

I wouldn't offer if you weren't from UK, I've ordered on eBay 2x used CoolerMaster 1000W RS-00-ESBA just to have a spare, I can resell one to you once they arrive (I will check it if works OK). I should have it tomorrow of something like that. Price 100 quid shipped to you (I am on UK mainland). PM if you interested in 1kW CoolerMaster one
