I would be afraid to mine with this psu |

Do not bother with this PSU or any cheap PSU it will at best break and burn after 3 months.
There is no safe way to mine with 3-4 cards as you suggest, you might get away with 2 if they are low power and you have enough 6/8pin connections (do not use crazy molex to 6/8 pin adaptors).
Buy a 80+ Plat or Gold rated PSU from a high end manufacturer otherwise it will end up costing more in the long run (could also think about a server PSU).
Buy cheap buy twice.

Do not buy cheap PSU always go for @least Gold 80+ unless you get free electricity.
It will pay for itself in 1 year.
For example: I had a 1000 watt no name brand not rated PSU that was pulling 750 watts for 4 RX 470 gpu rig. I upgraded to 1000 watt EVGA 80+ gold for $139.99 which is pulling 600 watt for same rig saying me 150 watt i pay around .11 cents for electricity.
so (.150 x 0.11 x 24 hours x 365day) = $144.50 in just 1 year. Plus more stable less heat and less voltage fluctuations.
Again don't cheap out on PSU

Thanks for suggestions. I got answer from Tacens distributor and they do not suggest use 24/7 so better forget about such idea.
What are the best companies/models PSU for mining?
evga gold
What about:
Super Flower gold or platinum?
Corsair (what model?)
other...?

The best way to do it is to power your video cards with an external server grade power supply. You can buy a mod a high quality server PSU for about half the price of a higher end ATX PSU
While in contact with video card manufacturers MSI themselves recommended not using ATX psus for powering mining GPUs
|
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Can you write examples of such PSU or links? How they are efficient vs gold/platinum atx? How do you connect cards? |

The forum is littered with people selling these PSUs as well as breakout boards and other ways to connect them up. I am not advocating you purchase from this seller but this link just gives an example of how a server PSU would be setup for powering GPUs http://holybitcoin.com/product/hp-1200-watt-common-slot-psu-bundle/ |

You could also check out parallelminer.com, they have all the gear you need to setup a mining rig, including 1200 watt platinum rated server power supplies etc. I've bought from them 3 times now and have had reasonable satisfaction with them so far.

I'm using the corsair rm1000i or rf1000x on a 4 gpu and 6gpu (rx470) rig and works well and stable.
wouldn't buy cheap on this one. On none of the rigs equipment if you ask me for stable miner and long term mining.

evga 850 g2 = 4 card rig
Yep personally recommend EVGA G2 80+ gold from amazon. $139.99 i have the evga g2 850 on a 4 card rig, 390, 2x470, 460. when dual mining it pulls 820 watts from the wall 24/7. cant say thats recommended, but its been that way for a couple months. psu doesnt even get warm. good psu. |

so the best way is to use server psu for graphic cards and second psu for processor, ssd etc? Anybody use HP psu like this or this - such PSU really has more then 90% efficienty? What i need for such configuration to work everything as safe as possible? - add2psu? Is this (1) or this (2) ok? - breakout board for hp like for example this- Corsair CS650M for second (not graphic cards) will be ok or 650 Watts = too many? (not optimal work then) I can buy cheap such psu. |

Sorry, it might seem like a newbie question, but I am thinking (brainstorming) about getting involved in mining. Are 1000Watts ATX (HP) or Corsair Power Supplies good (efficient) enough to run 4 GPUs cards (say R9 480X/490X)? Or should I go for EVGA as a safe bet? Which one would be the best for its value?

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2012/august/80-plus-platinum-what-does-it-mean-and-what-is-the-benefit-to-meyou want gold or platinum rated PSUs. Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic are all good brands of PSUs. I personally use Corsair. ps : google is your best friend and do some research on these forums, there is a shit ton of informations (repeated many times...) |
