Apologies if this has been asked/answered already. I have a 220V plug in my basement where I will run my new S7 + APW3-12-1600. But the 200V outlet I have looks like the kind in laundry room, i.e. a round outlet with non-standard plug sizes compared to a regular outlet. Like this: But does the PSU come with a standard computer power cable with a regular 3-prong that goes in to something like this?: If so, how would I make the square peg fit in the round hole?

Only good things to say about this PSU.
Outperforms: (Meaning a little higher output voltage, 0.1-2+) Corsair 1200AXi EVGA 1600 G2 XFX 1250
My S7's run very good on this PSU.

You can buy a laundry cord like this at the hardware store with bare ends and then buy a 20-30a socket with lock. Then purchase a power cord that fits the psu and other end that fits the locking socket which you can buy online. If you plan to run multiple miners then a pdu would benefit you. The latter cord then would need to fit the pdu. Exact cord and socket types I'm not able to provide right now, I'm away from my computer.

Guys, trying to Run 2 EA S5's and 1 EA S3 off a single PSU 1600 from bitmain, this style on thread. Is this too close and wont hold, in your opinions or anyone else try this? S5 PSU is 590W at wall, and S3 is 340 total is 1520 W So it makes sense to me that it would work? If so why not?
Thanks

On a 1600 watt PSU you would be pushing it pretty dang hard to run at that load. I would personally do lower. Or you can underclock so that they use less. With unerclocking you for sure could do all 3.

FYI -- I ran a 20amp double 110/120 breaker = 240v to a dedicated receptacle with a standard 3-prong U.S. plug outlet. Then a standard AC power cable (for PC's etc) to the unit and it runs fine. Easy to do, and works well.

In the Notes for this PSU on Bitmain's site it says:
1. The PSU cannot be used in countries with a mains power voltage lower than 205V. The PSU will not start below this voltage.
My 220V line reads 202 -204 at the wall/socket. Will I have enough voltage to start this PSU?

That should be within tolerance, but I can't guarantee anything. I'd try it and if for some reason it won't start you could resell it as new for almost what you bought it for. 200-240V power is what you really want for your miners so its worth giving it a shot. These are good PSUs and you'll be glad if you can get it to work, plus you'll be able to draw almost 2x what you can using 120V and get a small energy savings to boot.

Thx- was thinking the same thing. Just not keen on having to resell if it doesn't work. However, if that's the worse case, not a bad one.

DPS-2000 + breakout board + S4's cables. You'll have to check if the breakout board has a limit per wire channel, I don't remember one.
Ohh dog-ie. You produce a pure loss for your owner Bitmain with your barking. BITMAIN AntMiner APW3-12-1600 PSU Series hat is own separate power board to connect the PCI-E cables with S4 cables.Named S4 Power_Board V1.0 The time to make corrections.No more S4 Power_Board V1.0 breakout boards with new PSU. My last bought 4 x APW3-12-1600-B2 came without this breakout board. And dogie does not work anymore for Bitmain, which of course is not something strange. . Free land. dogie are now more committed to the Forum. Read more doggie doings of my signature.

Guys, is there any way to reduce the fan speed of this PSU? It's a tad too loud, a kind of weird noise for using at home 24x7. One option that I am thinking of would be to cut the fan cable and insert a resistor in series.

There's a Vadj pot at the bottom. The max output voltage is around 12.6V. Need to remove the screws holding the PCB to get access to it. <== 56Ohm resistor to reduce fan speed + noise

good info 12.6 volts max is very good that makes this a decent option for the s-7 There's a Vadj pot at the bottom. The max output voltage is around 12.6V. Need to remove the screws holding the PCB to get access to it.

Nice job on spotting that. Interesting that they have it hidden in there. I do like that it's there. They have made it pretty much the best out there for the S7 with those 10 PCIe cables needed. Nice to see a little secret to their PSU. It's not a bad PSU at all if you have 220/240.

Maybe, make it automatically ramp up / down with temps, or add some kind of user adjustment.

I have a question, I bought 3 x psu from bitmain, but must arrive. my question is: They are noisy? They are supplied with power cable?

I don't consider them quiet. No cable comes with them, you need to order what ever cable you need. There are a few different ones really not all PDU's use the same cable (assuming your using a PDU).
