so i'm just a small time "hobby miner". (thats code for "i mine at a net loss because im addicted to crypto" though i suppose most miners like myself probably rationalize their habit with comments like "i just wanna support the network") Anyway... excuse my ignorance and sorry if its been asked (my google search skills are lacking) As i only have 115v outlets available, i was wondering if the built in PSU currently powering my solo S4 would suffice to power an S7? Im thinking probably not but thought id ask here.
I don't think hobby miner is code for that at all. I see home miner as 110-120 volt plugging in where they can. I see hobby mining as a bigger scale with area and proper power. That does not mean profit, but I think size is bigger. Home miner would be what I think your looking for with 115v outlet and a solo s4. You would not be able to do it with bitmain's PSU as it takes 205+ V to turn on. but likely you could do it with a mix of PSU's or a evga 1600 (epensive). If you mix make sure not to mix on hashing boards, only 1 PSU not 2 mixing on the hashing boards.

Whatever pool we use, the fact that rewards are getting less due to difficulty increase makes reaching ROI harder.

The big thing I see is "Six powerful +12V rails with high maximum loads offer great compatibility with heavy-duty graphics cards". If you go EVGA 1600 you get a single rail. I could be nut's but I think that part might cause some problems. And I could be wrong, but all mine have been single rail.

If you already own one you can use it and it will work, I have one myself I ran one from, just be careful how you separate the rails... I went one rail per board, and the 4th rail I used a splitter on and spread across all three boards plus power and it worked fine.. If you are buying something there are much better options, I would just a server PSU myself for less than an ATX option..

Just get one of the 120 V power supplies like the Evga G2 1600 and plug it in. Tada! Bitcoins.

I run mine off 120V, just use regular ATX PSUs that are single rail. However you do need a dedicated 20A circuit to be safe! I use a 1000W PSU (2 boards) + 650W PSU (1 board). Or get an EVGA 1600. I used a 1300W for a while but it was just too close to the margin for comfort IMNSHO!

How do I run one of these bad boys in Canada with only 120 Volts?
First option: When i had only one S7, I ran it with two 850 watt Corsairs. I connected each PSU to two separate 120 outlets which had wattage to spare. I had no probs. Second Option ( will cost you a bit and you lose access to your Stove or Dryer. Hope your wifey can cope with that.): Later on, I hooked a cable to my stove outlet. Then, I ran it to a PDU. Now I have 4 rigs running on that circuit with no issues. Pretty sure, i could run 5-6 S7s with the wattage capacity from that circuit. It cost me about $200 for the cable, male and female connectors and the PDU. However, i got a great deal on the PDU. Another guy had been using it for the same purpose but decided he wanted his stove back. So he sold me the PDU. Third Option ( most expensive) : Hire an electrician to set up a dedicated 240 volt circuit like you have for your stove.

So you need to power entire hashing board via 1 PSU. So it has been kinda common for 120 to use two. One that powers two boards, one does other and controller. It can work. I like all in one but that is a lot harder to do in 120v area as evga 1600's are high priced. Compare to 220/240 server PSU's its a huge jump in price. But I still like one PSU for all if at all possible.

If you are buying something there are much better options, I would just a server PSU myself for less than an ATX option.. so i must see the rail table before connectin to the miner right? v3, v4, v5 in each board, and split the v6 to three board + power no don't buy that pos send me a pm I will send you a 0.05 coupon for an s-7 in the pm let me know what country you are in . I will try to find a better psu setup for you unfortunately i already buy it im in indonesia.

Just buy 2 extra dual PCI-E cables for $40 extra for OEM and cheaper for non OEM cables. I have an extra EVGA G2 1300W PSU at a good price if anyone needs 1. Will include the 2 extra PCI-E cables so you can have 10 connections to the S7 at no additional charge. Just PM me.

Definitively works for S7's, but some S7 really cap out the PSU, so it might make some people nervous to see 1460W at the wall on their 1300W psu. No problem for the G2's anyways.

On a related note, anyone know where to get the short jumper cables for the EVGA 1300 G2? they are the female pins, unlike Corsair 750 that you can jump with a paperclip in the master cable.

Are you asking how to jump them? You jump them the same was as every other PSU, pin 4 with any ground. Tho all the EVGA's i've bought in a while comes with the neat adapter that jump 3 and 4.
