Corsair CS650M  Semi-Modular 80+ GOLD Certified Power Supply
not expensive
quiet
80+ Gold
2x PCI-E

You mean CX600M?

is there a 2nd PCI-E cable and where do you connect it?

No, the CS650M is a different power supply with a different topology. There are two PCIe cables.

guys should I make payment for new order to Bitmain without signing the message on my bitcoin client?
it wont let me sign as it says the "Private key for the entered address is not available"  (and Im entering bitmain's address)

sorry for the second message but need to do this now or never
thanks

CX750M has 2 PCIE. OC no problem.

Yes, but it is a bit overkill for me. I wonder why they didn't make the CX600M with 2 cables as well.

You dont need to use PCIE for 12V. As long as the other blade is powered by separate cables, you will be fine.

I know, but I see no other option. Even if I use 2xMolex to 1xPCI-E adapter all the current is being drawn through one cable again, because there is only 1 Molex cable with CX600M.

You can use the 8pin 12V thats suppose to be for the CPU. Either cut it and use 3x12V & 3xGND or look for a adapter.

You shouldn't have to sign anything.  Further, you can't sign a message with someone else's public key.  You sign messages with one of your own private keys.

I bought 6 Antminers, so would rather buy PSUs that can be used without any modifications.
And because I will probably mine for 1-2 months and then sell them I need 6 PSUs and not 3 big ones.

If you still wanna use CX600M. Buy extension cables, and cut them instead.
You can wire Antminers with only cables too. Doesnt have to be PCIE.

No issues thus far.

Oh nice. So 3x 12V and 3x Ground are needed per board = 6x 12V and 6x Ground in total?

That means I can just remove the CPU connectorand attach 3x 12V and 3x ground to one of the boards, right?

Im not sure if you can remove it without damaging the connector.
But price wise. CX750M doesnt cost much more than CX600M?

Yes, that should work. Thats how they setup before they added the PCIE connector.

I am running using a corsair 550M without OC it only has 1 PCI cable with 2 heads, running a month no problems.

A friend runs 10 antminers using 500w corsair, 2 sperate PCI cables, running no problems without OC.

No cable or connection gets hot

I hate to muck up this thread but, is it a TOTAL NO NO to use the cx600m to power an OCed antminer s1 with the included pci-e connection? Thanks.

My opinion is is that using one cable with 2 connectors to power an OCed antminer is not recommended, because that is up to 48Amps per 3x12V circuits = 16Amps per circuit, which is a lot for an 18AWG cable I believe.

But if you use 2 cables, that should be OK = then only 8Amps per cable.

Btw am I correct with my numbers, specifically the max OC current being 48Amps? What is the max overclock of these in terms of chip Mhz and GH/s?
CX600M might not be enough then?

Is there any other way to pay, instead of BTC? It will take 3-4 days before I can get enough coins into my wallet and by then the sale will be done.

Thanks.  Now, are we talking fire hazard or poor performance?
