What are the good brands of power supply?

[R0land]

HP Common Slot series (DPS-1200 FB A for example) server power supplies are very robust and usually quite reasonably priced.

But you need to know what you are doing and buy some additional supplies if you use a server power supply in a GPU rig.

The DPS-1200 FB A will have a reasonable noise level if you are not having a 100% power capacity load.

I also use HP server power supplies. But you need  6 Pin PCI-E risercards and a picoPSU to connect the mainboard. Also a breakoutboard with power switch helps. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Power-Versorgung-Breakout-Board-Adapter-DPS-1200FB-Ethereum-Mining-ETH-ZEC-top/232645500070?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
The most hp server power supplies have a high power efficiency (~94%) !

Yep. Exactly what I meant by saying 'additional supplies'.

I am running ~80 supplies by Rosewill. The only ones that have been somewhat problematic are the 750-watt PHOTONS... I have 750 Quark, 850 Photon, and 850 Quark and extremely limited issues.

Even within the 750 PHOTONs that I had issues with RMA service was awesome.

What is Server's CPU?

Some says it's good option.

What that you mean server's PSU? Am I right?

Server's PSU is PSUs that used for powering server (a server computer). Since server typically running 24/7, need Power Supply Unit that has good durability and good enough efficiency to handle server devices. And that was good to powering our rigs, but a bit noisy than consumer's PSUs.

Seasonic Prime 1300w Platinum

This is one good PSU, it has 12 6+2 pcie cables.  perfect for a 6 gpu rig, 12 years warranty, platinum rated.

For 260 euros its best price for what you are getting

[smoolae]

My rig consisted of 2 separate PSUs. 1. was for the MOBO and other peripherals and the 2. one was purely for GPUs and for watercooling pump.

The PSU I used for MOBO was Lepa 800w Gold 80+ rated and never had any problems. The PSU that powered GPUs was 2400w server PSU from Parallelminer. This was a BEAST - silent, cool, cheap and put out so much power!

[Zorg33]

just my 2 cents

For mining server psus are the best, they are robust and built with better components than the most expensive ATX PSUs.

This still holds true. I lost a few of the "weak" supplies early on but I haven't had any of the remaining 750-watt PHOTONs give me any trouble even in the summer heat. I'm going on a year or more on quite a few of these supplies with 24/7 mining.

You research on the specific model not the brand with PSUs. As popular brands can have a very low quality PSU model.
Personally I always go with Antec. Their good PSUs are made by Seasonic, I tested their warranty when 3 months ago 2 of my PSUs died (due to my mistake) so I went to Antec service center next day and they gave me new models immediately. I just bought two Antec HCG X 1000 and they look really cool in gold.

Price tell everything. Even good brands have different levels of psu.

[Super90]

Dark Power Pro 11/ EVGA 850 P/ EVGA 850 G2 my personal choice.

[Salty yor]

There is no one best brand. If you want the best quality. Buy a Tier 1 rated PSU. They use the highest quality components. Linked is a list of models from Tier 1 to Tier 5. If you stick with those models listed as Tier 1 you will have the best.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Personally I would get one which is 600W or higher so that you have plenty of headroom.

This Corsair RMx 750w is excellent quality. It also has a 10 year warranty. It is 80+ Gold, so it is extremely energy efficient.

The EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650 is another excellent choice. It also has a 10 year warranty. It is 80+ Platinum, so it is even more energy efficient.

good luck finding them

here is a delta 2400 watt

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-DPS-2400AB-Server-Power-Supply-with-breakout-boards-cables-for-220v/292651597102?

good price with breakout board and cables

[adaseb]

Enermex is pretty good actually.

Still got one doing some GPU mining that I got with my Antminer S2 about 3 years ago.

People complained about the Enermax being crap because Bitmain used 1000 Watts and it was a 1000 Watts PSU, and certain units basically ended up dying as a result of running at max wattage over long periods of time.

I ran mine at max 80% and it still runs good. Only had an issue with 1 fan, which was easily replaced with any standard 14" computer case fan.

[lunobird]

Evga t2 titanium is the king and better than server psu.
96 efficiency. Been runner mine 24/7 for about a year and no problems.

My second pick would be bitmains apw power supply

For power supply the first on the list is the leadtex superflower. However depending on region PSU preference defers form user to user here in east and south east asia Seasonic is the most preferred since we do have huge quantities of it here, in the US its Corsair, be quiet, and EVGA. What I would suggest to is to check reviews of the PSUs of each manufacturer as they have pros and cons and jonnygury has the best review out there.

Jonnyguru has good reviews.

He also sometimes posts here.

I forgot his tag here but he has posted here.

Super flower?

Enermax sucks

For mining?

Segotep?

I don't quite understand why most people say Enermax sucks,
Can you guys elaborate?

I've been using 4 Enermax Platimax 1700W platinum PSUs for 3 years now and had no problem with them whatsoever since the first day I put them to work.
I mean you get 100W-200W more power then your usual top of the line EVGA (1600W) or Corsair (1500W) or other competitive psu manufacturer,
It's at least +100€ cheaper than the competition and has been for years for the pretty much equal build quality and performance as far as I can tell and jonnyguru confirm which is a huge plus.

The only disadvantage I can think of are shorter pcie cables(50cm) than the competition, also the only thing I could see as a deal breaker if you really need those extra 10-20cm more.

Now with all that said, would you kindly tell me why Enermax sucks compared to other PSUs?

EDIT: to be fair I'm talking about Enermax' Platimax series, I'm not familiar with the cheaper line up as cheaper models usually suck whoever manufactures them.
