I ordered a Bitmain B3 miner, and I'm trying to find a suitable PSU for it. Unlike other Bitmain miners, it only requires 328W to run, so I'm looking to get a smaller and cheaper PSU than the APW3++. However, I need find a PSU that has a least 7 6 pin PCIe connectors. Is there such a thing on the market? All of the smaller PSUs I can find don't have enough connectors.
Do they really require all 7 PCIe connections though?
I know that with some of their Antminers you need every connection because it would shift the current and they would start melting but since you are using only 328W then no more then 4 should be necessary.
The Antminer S3 had 2 boards and each had 2 connections but most of us just used 1 PCIe per hash board and it ran fine.
It used around the same amount of Watts as this B3.
