Best 1500w+ PSU

[amelen]

What's the best 1500w+ PSU? I currently have a EVGA 1300W G2 and it's been great - been pushing 1400W without any problems. However, I need a bit more power and preferably more efficiency. Should I just jump to the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2/T2 or is there anything else better out there? Also, I read that the P2 comes with 14 PCI-e cables, can anyone confirm? The 1300G2 was only 8.

If you have 240V power available have a look at the larger PSUs that j4bberw0ck, sidehack, or Finsky have for sale.  They have some high wattage server supplies that are platinum rated and can push 2k+ watts.

If you only have 120V available or need something quieter(like if it's going to be in your house, for instance) you could look at two of the 1100 platinums in my sig unless you need to stick with a single supply for some reason.

Anything that you get from any of the 4 of us will be significantly cheaper per watt than platinum ATX supplies of that size.

On 120V - otherwise I'd be using server PSU's (we have tons of old ones laying around). Sound isn't much of an issue, neither is form factor (doesn't need to be ATX).

Is 1300w the highest they go for the ones you're selling?

I only have one 1300w left, it's a slightly different model than the ones that you see in my pics, but still platinum rated.

The rest are 1100w units.

What are you powering?

EDIT: I forgot, I do have one more 1300w, but the fan is straight wired so it's a bit loud.  but since that doesn't matter to you, it's perfect lol

Just S5's for now - but working on some prototypes based on the S5 that need a bit more power. I think I'd need slightly more power than 1300W though - I'm on 1300W now and pushing the PSU about 5% over that, and still need a little more. Platinum efficiency would help, but I think I'd still need a little more.

You could spread the load out.  3 S5 boards per PSU.  As long as you don't connect a single board to multiple PSUs it should be fine since they're electrically separate anyway.  You just wouldn't want to have a PSU fail and suddenly a single board is trying to draw all of its power through a single PCIe connector on the one that didn't fail, not cross-pollinating prevents that.  I used to run S3s that way with smaller 660w seasonic supplies.

Good point. Let me look into that and circle back with you.

Why not have a single power Supply for each new miner. I don't see the big upside of a single 1500W power supply, compared to two equal quality 750W supplies, or perhaps larger.

[Finksy]

If it's even remotely in your capacity, I would convert the 120V lines to 240V. Regardless of what PSU you are or plan on using, they will all gain efficiency on 240V. Not to mention, running the higher voltage will allow you to run some PSU's higher in load, and in my opinion strains the PSU's less, giving you better longevity.

It is in my biased opinion, server PSU's are superior to ATX PSU's in all aspects when it comes to mining. In the ATX world, you have to choose 2 of 3 qualities: Value, efficiency, reliability. You don't have that dilemma with server PSU's.

I'm using Super Flower Leadex Titanium 1600W for my 2 overclocked S5s. 4 fans + 2 S5 @ 400MHz are drawing ~1350W from the wall thanks to the PSU-s extremely high efficiency. It also handles voltage drops without any effect to the miners. It happens in the area where miners are that voltage drops from 230V all the way down to 180V. So far miners were never affected.

How many PCI-e cables does it come with? Do they sell them in the U.S.?

i think the evga 1600 t2 is the same unit.

it needs 230 volts for best results.

It comes with 4 cables, enough to power 2 miners. They should sell them in U.S., but I suggest some research on that.

I suggest spending less than $400 on a PSU   

There is about as much to be gained in efficiency by going from 120V to 240V supply, as there is from going from Gold to Titanium rated PSU's on 120V.

even if he stays at 120 volts he can get 2  server psu's plat for about 225 they will put out 1000 watts each at 93%

they will do 93.5% and not be crazy loud at 800 watts each.

or he can get some one to change his line to 240 volts and buy one of your 2880 watt monster psu's

are you doing a fan control on them?

either way is better then the 1600p2 or 1600t2 from evga/fsp

Gigampz sells a breakout for the DPS-2000bb a 2000 Watt supply.  If you are looking for the best deal out there as far as wattage and efficiency goes though check out the 1200 Watt 80 Plus Platinum kit.  At $113 it is hands down the cheapest and most efficient unbelievable quality for the price PSU out there.

yeah since he wants 1600watts and it seems like he has 120 volts 2 of yours would give him about 2000 watts.

if he pulls 800 watts on each one they are fairly quiet.  As an owner of your  gear and the platinum evga supernova 1600 .  I would tell him to get two of yours.

Actually, I can beat the price on that 1200w setup.

1100w platinum supply, breakout board, and 4 24" 16G PCIe cables for $92.

well I know :
 sidehack
 finsky sells USA/Canada for J4bberwock
 pete m
 and you all have pretty good server psu's

he should not get the big highend plat atx psu's unless he plans to  repurpose them later in a monster gaming rig.
