It says two L3+ can be connected at 220v. Does that mean you need to get a splitter for the 9 cables?

No idea dude. I just ordered mine today. As i have ordered also the machines. New to all this. My main problem here is the noise guys. I am living in an apartment and although i will sacrifice a room for mining, i need to find a solution. I;ve seen people on youtube putting the miners in some cooler boxes with holes for the air in-out and tubes taking the air out. This reduces the noise from 79dB to 55dB which is really good. People could also add soundproof foam pieces to make it better too. The temp inside the cabin stays around 24 degrees and the machine is same temp to the touch whther it's inside or outside the cooler box.. What you think guys.. thanks

I think this cooler box idea is really a smart solution for noise! How much units will you run in that room?

I will be running 3 L3+ in that room. The point it , i could rent a space and do it there. But it will cost about 400EUR a month for the rent , the internet line, and some additional costs. So this would actually brake my whole operations, even if it is all still profitable after all. So i was thinking to "sacrifice" a room, but i want to maintain a certain quality of life lol I am not into changing fans for quieter ones because i believe that if BITMAIN chose those among hundreds of others, it means that they been testing them all and came to the conclusion that those are the best. I don't want the machine to run on custom aftermarket parts etc... So i am just looking for a way to isolate in a healthy way the original machines...
Another L3+ owner told me that the noise doesn't really come from the fans themselves. They make some noise but it is normal and not disturbing. ALL the disturbing and loud noise comes from the air flow going through the machine, parts, cards etc... This makes sense. If you blow with your mouth just like that , there is minimal sound. If you blow with your mouth on a piece of paper really close to your mouth it will make noise...
So i have about 2 months to plan all this so this is why im asking around etc..
Much appreciated!

id pay for sound proofing foam and attach it to the walls of the room. I couldnt be bothered to make 1 cooler box for every machine, not to mention the piping for air flow would be impossible to deal with in a small area. alternatively, buy a server rack with sound proofing, although, thats the more expensive option.

Yeah i know. I don't mind building MDF crates with foam etc.. For the server rack, yes it costs a lot. I never heard the L3+ in real life. Most cellphones and cameras are not accurate. I took a video of my blow drier with my phone, and it sounded like armagedon. So maybe the noise is not that bad.. But 90% of people say it is really bad. Some even sell the machines because of the noise lol. So an accurate input here would be appreciated. thanks

I'm in almost the same boat, but in July batch waiting for 4 L3+s... I will run only 1 unit per 110v/15A circuit. How will you run 3 L3+s in the same room? Do you have a 240v outlet there?

It says two L3+ can be connected at 220v. Does that mean you need to get a splitter for the 9 cables? It has 9 pairs of cables so 18 connectors total ... no need for splitters

I am located in Greece, and we have 220v here. So basically each new power supply will feed 2 machines. I really wish i could have the machines sooner as i will have to wait until the end of August... But on the other hand, it gives me time to plan on how i will setup everything. Do you also have space issue? I've heard that 1-2 machines will create a room temperate of 38-42 degrees pretty fast. So the tubes for the air flow are a must in any case. My main problem is the noise. I believe a custom crate for each is the best solution. Made of MDF, with foam on the inside. 2 holes for the airflow in and out. Well sealed to eliminate the maximum noise. Now, people could add small 5w USB fans inside the box to give an extra air flow on the inside of the cabin if it fits.. That's just what i have in mind. here is a link so you can see the difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWZVRT6XLn4

I don't have so much space here, but I think its enough to 4 L3+s... Surely I will only have a better idea about heat/noise when I start the experiments here

Out of stock They have many PSU's just ask what they have in stock. Delta 2400W was recently and you can power two 2 L3+ with that PSU.

Doesn't a EVGA 1600W G2 work for the L3+?
1) One 12V rail
2) 9 PCIe connectors
3) resale value
4) Designed to be low noise @ moderate load.
5) Available.
