Is here someone who is not using a Bitmain PSU?


I am looking to replace one PSU until I get a new one from Bitmain warranty  Roll Eyes

Any ideas? I have no clues about PSUs other than Bitmains lol

I have rock solid experience with HP server power supplies.

Sidehack has a power supply kit including breakout board and 10x PCI-E power cables for sale for only 80 USD.

See the DPS1200 PSU Kit in that thread.

Antminer L3+ needs roughly 800W power.
This has enough power capacity in both 110-120V (max. 900W) and 220-240V (max. 1200W) mains voltage systems.

I am unsure about this. I tried using an 850 EVGA SUPERNOVA P2 PSU and apparently it does not work. The problem is that PSU only has 4 connectors for PCI which means you get twice as many in 6-pin connectors, leaving you with the need for one additional connector which requires either a Molex to PCIE or CPU (8pin) to PCIE adapter. I tried the first option and it doesn't work as it does not draw sufficent power, I will give the second option a go and see how it works. But consider this a warning if you'll decide and go for an EVGA power supply less than 1000 watts. I am currently running the 1000 watts variant of the same PSU while looking for a solution and it's running like a charm.
