Yeah, if you really want to bee like 100% sure you have the psu's ready before the miners arrive, then you can buy them from a different source.

These HP server power supplies are great, for example.

Nice price, thank you!

Actually, you need to order the PSU's 2-3 weeks before....it has been the case they arrive after your L3+ or D3

Exactly. This is the problem. Therefore, I no longer consider buying a power supply from a bitmain, I'm late )

PC power supply is not a good solution. Why? Cause L3+ works continuously. Cause needs 9xPCIE.
Good 850W/230V computer power supply is 87% efficiency (80 plus GOLD), so only with Gold, Platinum Certificate. But power should be greater - do not use 90-100% power supply limit. However, good power supplies can handle it such as the Corsair CS850M, which has a continuous power of 850W for 12V line and peak power of up to 935W. But what if it has only 4 PCIE slots?
Better use power supplies for servers. So APW3++ from Bitmain will be ok.

Thank you!
Yes, I was planning on taking the gold version. There are 8 PCIe connectors. Another one from the Molex through the adapter.

PC power supply is not suitable for continuous operation generally and even if you have a strong 12V line you will probably need to restart it at some time. So be careful with that choice.
