[GIXXER]

Are the Server Psu's the best way to power the S1's?  Im thinking about ordering 13 more because they're so cheap now.

Could you post a link where are you getting them in quantities?

They work great. run 2 s1 no problem.
Using 10 for 3 weeks straight only 1 failed couple days ago (my fault).
Cannot complain - 10 bucks each, cannot beat the price.

Dude where are you getting them from?
A link would be grat

It is the same as of the guide.

If you want more links let me know.

Each can power 2x S1 over clocked OR 4x S1 under clocked.

Awesome. that was the only thing really holding me back.  I thought I was going to have to spend aprox. $1000 on PSU to power them all.

The only disadvantage is that they are a little louder than the pc psus.

Made a few more. The local store had 6pin plugs for sale. So I went out and bought them, as it turned out they're twice the size of the pcie plugs I'm used to.
So I had to improvise.





All is working well tho

thx for the guide op love these
yes one supply can run 2 oc s1's
however for noise sake and equipment life
i run one per s1 at 16.00 bucks apiece shipped works well

heres some pics

two s1's hooked up to one supply mines great but very loud



the single supply per s1 pretty quiet









14g 12/2 romex style wire with center ground wire pulled out for pliability
the short wire runs = no/low heat

[tzortz]

Nicely done.

I have heard that many use only one per S1 because of noise issue.

what lugs have you been using?

[BillTech]

thx buddy
same lugs in the link for home depot ones
i just turned um over and rotated the pinch collar
so the angle part cant bump psu case

[tzortz]

Excellent condition, still working like a charm.   

[chek2fire]

Any advice what can i do to reduce the noise level of psu? Can i disable it or i will dmg the psu?

[BillTech]
