Hello Guys, i was just wondering if is possible to overclock a Antminer S3 usiing a CX500m Psu?
The CX500m Has only two pci e connectors. I have read that people says that you need 4 pci connectors and other people says that can be done just with two....

My S3+ are overclocked w/ 4 using a 500watt.

You won't be able to and should not overclock with a CX500M PSU... return for store credit if you can.

Other solution is, you buy new wires... the same ones they have on modular 650's, they have two connections per wire.

However, I find that too much feed for 500's though...

I would not recommend it, heck, I wouldn't even recommend using 500W PSU on an S3 at all...  I use 650 Watt'ers...

If you want to overclock definitely then you should get a stronger PSU, I think running 500's on S3's is just pushing it for nothing.

On the flip side, I run 2 S1's (The Previous Model) with 550W's and 2 with 650W's; The 650w powered ones make more coin than the 550 ones.

More power feed, the more power the S3 can use and the more coin it can make for you too; and greater your power bill will be too.

In the last 3 months, I've made about 15% more coin (Conservatively) by using a PSU at least 100 watts more than the Miner's max settings @ OC.

In Bitcoin, coin loves speed... it loves power too, give it both.
