ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH

[notlist3d]

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.

i will buy 5 S7 in this weekend, but i have 4 coupons, so i still need 1 coupon,
anyone provide this last 1 coupon ?

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..

How do I run one of these bad boys in Canada with only 120 Volts?

How do I run one of these bad boys in Canada with only 120 Volts?

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

[jermwerty]

How do I run one of these bad boys in Canada with only 120 Volts?

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.

The huge thing is not to mix PSU's on the same hashing board.  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.

yea it six rail with 20 and 30 A per rail

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

EVGA G2 1300W PSU............problem solved.  Got 3 powering 3 S7 for the past 2 months, no issues.  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.

You can use the single OEM 6pin and buy good Y Splitter on the forum for 3.5$ per. 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.

The pins are the same, just black. You can paper clip it or buy one of these

and just plug it in. I did the same (paperclip) on my G1600.
