I have 3x EVGA 600 Bronze PSUs.

Can I power an Antminer S7 safely with them (1 PSU per board)?

Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Not really...
1st you only have 2 PCIE plugs..one PCIE plug can handle only 150Watts....
2nd the PSU has 2 12V rails not one.

You are wrong the EVGA has ONE 12v rail but thats irrelevant as the psu has not got enough connectors and would require adaptors which are just not worth the risk really.

Ups...they should write it more clearly..

I thought the 2 columns stands for 2 different rails...
In this case, you can mod the EPS Plug....

Yes you can use 3 PSUs if you want. Just make sure the PSU powering the controller is turned on last or you wont see all 3 boards.
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.
