Re: Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner
I ordered one L3+ yesterday but forgot to add the power supply 
Which power supply are you using for the L3+? I don't wanna pay the shipment costs twice. Or is it the cheapest way anyway to buy it directly from bitmain?

yOU CAN BUY IT FROM HERE, this is better than Bitmain PSU.

Looks nice, thanks!
Definitely looks like a good PSU option if you have 220v power. Doesn't work over 110v though. "INPUT:180V--264V"
Do you have any experience running two L3+'s off a single 1800w PSU? Each L3+ consumes 800w +10%, so do you have to underclock them to get two to run off a single 1800w PSU? Can you even still underclock/overclock them? I read somewhere that their firmware doesn't allow for it anymore, but I remember mining years ago with Antminers and I could underclock/overclock them as I wished.
You can still over clock the L3+ and under clocking is also possible.
In real life the miner takes around 800W with the APW3+ model. So just the miner runs probably a little less than that.
1800 should be more than enough to run 2 l3+. If you overclock them on 600 MH+ you should definitely run them on 2 PSU
I see. I was just curious because on the Bitmain website under the L3+ specifications it literally says "800W +10%", which wouldn't leave nearly enough room to run two of them off a single 1800w PSU.
Check out this video. It shows the actual power usage for an L3+ with 220v as well as 110v.
