No.

Use invididual PCI-E cables for all connectors.

You should have one more modular PCI-E cable to use it in the power supply's "VGA3" connector

Would this PSU work for 1 Avakon 741?

http://www.parallelminer.com/product/2466/

It has 10 x 6 pin PCI E cables. The  A 741 only needs 6.

There was a lot of psu issues with the APLUSPOWER power supply back in the Antminer S4 days, I would not recommend it.

You would be much better with the HP DPS-1200 FB A server power supply http://www.parallelminer.com/product/1200watt-psu-kit-for-avalon-721-80-platinum-high-efficiency-at-94-120v-240v/

You need the mains voltage 208 V or higher with this particular power supply.

Yup- I have 220 volts and a 30 AMP PDU.
Yes, I was considering the HP DPS-1200 FB A server PSU. Does it have enough extra watts to run an 1150 watt rig?

Reason I ask is that with ATX PSUs, most say not to exceed 90 per cent of the PSUs capacity.

Server power supplies are a different story.
They can actually do the 100% load where as the ATX can't.

Run it a day at -1
Run it a day at -2

Run it a day at 0

I found that with 240 volts

The hps-1200. Likes -1 best

Long story short: I bought some Chinese low quality PSUs and the Avalonminer 741 runs fine, but the PSUs are failing very quickly. I proceeded to buy https://www.deepinthemines.com/collections/power-supplies/products/bitmain-antminer-s9-94-platinum-1950w-psu-power-supply-complete-kit-120v-240v from deep in the mines and they are running perfectly.

The question here is: I can power the Avalon741 miners with only the one PSU of 1200W and the breakout board? Did I wasted that extra money  ? Also have you tried powering them with that same PSU (only the 1200W one)?

I have 240v outlets.

You need the AvalonMiner controller.

Are you certain I need the controller? I was thinking in setting up a linux server with CGMiner to have more granular control over the miners instead of using the Raspberry Pi.
