So I was just doing some browsing...
If I went with the APW3-12-1600-B2 on 220V to power an S9... How many would I need?
One has 5 6pin connectors. So you need two of those PSUs to power one S9 right?

Also I got confused,, the site said "Separate power supply to control board: there is one additional 6pin PCI-e connector on the IO board which must be connected to the PSU to get power.".
So does that mean you need a third PSU just for the board???
Or do you just put your one left over cable into it?


What powersupply would you recommend? (Preferably under $250)
I assume you can provide 240 volts
links coming  
okay  three people  can help :

First of all, thanks for the links.

Secondly,
Does it have to be 240V, or is 220V enough? Cause I see lots of people saying 220V and many others saying 240V.
And if I went with the bitmain, I would need 2 of them to power 1 miner right?

no 220 = 240 for all intents and purposes
not the bitmaintech comes with 10 wires and will run the s-9.

so if you have 220 you are good.

as for what 120 volt psu will do the trick.

the evga 1600t2
the evga 1600p2
the evga 1600g2 

  will all work but they cost $$$  400/350/325 they do have a ten year warranty.
they come with 9 cables  but you can use a 2 plug cable one jack to the controller and to the closest board.
I have photos of all the psus except the bitmaintech
