Hi,


do you think it suits S3 + has? for a while

2006 year PSU Be quet Dark Power Pro P6 530W

Be Quiet 80+


do not use it.  it is a 2 rail   each are 20 amps but the combined max is 34 amps   34 x 12 =  408   watts

it will burn up..   maybe just maybe if you down clock to freq 175  or 200 it will work.

thanks answer!

355 W rated power? 

antminer s3+ details:
Code:
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78J/GH on wall


while the ant miner will draw  355watts on freq 218 or  freq 225  that is based  on a quality Gold rated psu.

your psu is rated 20 amps per 12 volt rail    and 34 amps combined for its two 12volt rails.

  If I knew  that each pcie wire drew from the separate rail  1 + 2  you may be able to do freq 200.  But many times your lower quality psu  will use one 12 volt rail for both pcie's and the other 12 volt rail for  the motherboard.

I also am pret sure your  psu is bronze not gold so it will use 385 watts not 355 watts.

So I am trying to keep you safe by saying try the freq 175 setting not the stock 218 or 225 settings.

If it runs 2 days in a row at freq 175 bump up a little higher.
