Antminer S1 Anyone have a actual Wattage???

[mindtrip]

My antminer OC to 200GH is pulling 445W at the wall on a seasonic 680W Cold Rated power supply

[Acejam]

I have (4) S1's coming in shortly. I currently have a 1300W EVGA SuperNOVA G2 and was planning to use this to power (3) S1's. Bad idea?

I will need to purchase another PSU to power the 4th one, so perhaps I'll buy one capable of powering 2 units. That way I'll have 2 off each PSU. I'm hoping to overclock them a bit to about 375 mhz. Any PSU recommendations?

[mindtrip]

I would split it on 2 unless you get one of those manum 1500W PSU's.

Personally I have my ant running on a gold rated 680W PSU runs great never had a problem with it. Recently I got a good deal on some 780W Platinum units for same price i paid for the 680W gold so I was going to put my 2 Incoming Ant's or I can use those for my other script rigs and throw 2 on my spare Platinum rated Antec 1300W Unit.

Personally I have used:
Enermax
Antec
Seasonic
Evga

So far my level of happiness from best to worst is this order
Seasonic (Great quality but nothing really over 1000Watts) They do OEM for many other companies
Antec ( i had 1 fail in the process of doing an RMA now but my other 2 ran great maybe it was a bad apple)
Evga ( I have 2 Running great never had an issue)
Enermax ( first one blew 2 days ago parts actually fell out of it when i picked it up totally Dead)

Thanks for the info! While I could probably run 3 off my 1300W PSU, if I were to split them, I'd probably need to plug each PSU into a different outlet, right? I'll have to look at the breaker in my apartment.

if its a 15AMP Breaker You shouldn't go over 1800 watts total on that breaker so 3 ant on one breaker is ok as long as you don't have anything else on it and blow the breaker when your making toast in the morning ;P

Corsair RM 550 (80 Plus Gold)
Overclocked
421 watts according to a Belkin monitor.

See my sig for setup guide and PSU advice.

[frankenmint]

my oc ants are pulling 690-693 per PSU when I use two of them to power 3 units.  I am using corsair CX750s.  So that makes it 1386 for 3 units or approximately 462 Watts per unit.  All Overclocked.  I love these PSUs.

Bump to this.

I have (3) Ant's running off (1) 1300W EVGA SuperNova G2 gold psu. Stock 350 speed, no overclocks. I have a 4th Antminer that I want to run, and I want to overclock all of them to 375/387 or so. (~200 GH/s) Will a second 1000W PSU be enough? Ideally I'd run 2 ant's per PSU.

I'm also hoping that I can plug each PSU into a different socket on the same wall receptacle. Bad idea? I think this socket might be 15amps. I'll need to overload/trip it to verify as my condo's breaker panel isn't very well documented. (It just shows "General Receptacle")

Running server PSU with great success. Right now a mix of Dell Z750P(750w) with breakout boards by sidehack (http://gekkoscience.com/products/server_supply_breakout_board.html) and DPS-1520(~1400w). Cheap and efficient.

[sidehack]

I'm working on a DPS-800GBA board right now, and we'll be selling the Z750P boards again starting Thursday (including full kits, with the supply). Haven't tested the DPS-800 on Ants yet, but it should be more than enough to run two Ants on overclock.

We tested two overclocked units using this

https://minersource.net/products/dell-750w-psu-slash-adapter

At the wall it pulled ~870w, and never crashed.

After we finished the test to make sure they don't crash we only hooked up three hashing boards per dell PSU.

Hey, that's my board! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379677

What were they overclocked to? I had been not recommending people run two overclocked units per board, because my measurements suggested it would run the supply at almost 100% capacity. Three boards would run 75% then, which these supplies should be able to handle approximately indefinitely. I've been running Ants and Cubes off them for a few months and the only one that failed ran at about 85% capacity (two Cubes with custom overclock) for a week with basically no airflow.

Yep, your boards. I'm not sure exactly what it was OC'd to.

Like I said 2 on one was just a test but we actually run 1.5 per dell in the OC setting we used.

[sidehack]

I've got four OC'd Ants running 400MHz off three boards, load-balanced and daisy-chained using one board's On switch to control all 3. Should be able to run at least 5 OC'd off that setup without any problems. It's too bad the current sense isn't accurate on this board version or I'd have good cumulative data on power draws.

I took some time to take some pictures of my rig setup and the wattage meter for you,

I hope this helps!!!



These are my 3 AntMiner S1 Rigs , + 1 Dyson Fan(100Watts AVG)

I am also using a wattage meter,

I run my antminers in pairs of 2 connected to corsair rm1000's.

Power at the distribution unit where the power supply plugs in is: 3.6A~750watts @ 208V power.

When you purchased the 1000 watt corsair to power 2 antminers, did it come with 4 PCI-E cables, or did you have to purchase them separately?

That's the beauty of this power supply! It ships with 4 cables, each has 2 PCI-E connectors for a total of 8 connectors.  Plus, it has 83A on a single 12A rail.  Some engineer at Corsair must have been a miner! lol

STOCK, they usually pull about 380W.
