AntMiner S3 PSU question

[JennaK]

Hello!
I'm going to have two antminer s3s
I will never upgrade and I just want a PSU that can handle both Antminer's overclocked.

I heard my EVGA 500W 80 PLUS psu won't work as the 2 pci-e cables are daisy chained? I can't even see if they are or not.
I may return that PSU and try to get either..

EVGA 1000W

or

EVGA 1300W

The cheaper the better.

I was also thinking of getting two
CX600
or
CX750

Please help

EVGA 1000 W for 2 or the 1300 W for 3.

You're going to need 1000W or higher for overclocking 2 Antminer S3's. Get a good power supply, don't cheap out with a crappy one, you'll pay for it in the end.

Recommended: EVGA SUPERNOVA 1300 G2

I'm thinking the 1000w evga as I'm never going to have 3 AntMiners and if I do I'd want them all to be over clocked.
I can't over clock 3 antminers s3 with the evga 1300 can I?

you can oc 3 s3's  i did 3 s-1's pulled 1215 watts for 45 days in a row 24/7

i then moved them and down clocked them

I would suggest using 1500 watt power supply, 1215 watt for 1300 watt power supply is killing it pretty fast...

      3 s-3's will do less the 3 s-1's

     1095 vs 1215 watts

   

it will work well with 3 s-3's

btw

the psu has a 10 year warranty
