Hey guys - All help is super appreciated!!!

I have a 13gpu (RX580's) set up

I'm powering the motherboard and 1 GPU from a 750w EVGA

and the 12 remaining from 2 x DPS-1200w HP Server psu's

Problem is the server psu's sound like hoovers, when i first powered them up i shit myself and ran to the other side of the room, sounded like it was going to take off/blow up

I cannot remember whats coming our from the wall as I'm at home now but im pretty sure its almost maxing it

This is my first time mining and i went for the server psu as it was the cheaper and more readily available option

The miner is set up in my home office where i answer the phone and I cannot hear or even think when its running Sad

My question is now, do i get another server psu to share the load?? Will that lower the noise a lot? Or do I bite the bullet and get some regular PSU's??

Another arse is the 2 x 1600w i probably should get are out of stock - as are the other option of 3 x 1200w's (probably around 2-4 weeks)

The only thing i can get now is 1000w but dont know how to set that up ( i got a feeling 3 will not be enough) and not sure if i can run 4 all connected on connect 2 together to run 6 cards and andother 2 seperate for the other 6 cards or anything like this

I'm in the UK so each plug socket can take 3KW and my breaker in the board is even larger ththis

Get a watt meter https://www.amazon.ca/MegaPower-Monitor-Energy-Voltage-Electricity/dp/B0108YW8W0/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1518634829&sr=8-10&keywords=meter to track power draw per psu. Is the best way to figure out what the limit is on the gpus.
e.g on a 110v my 1xDPS-1200 is connected 8 rx rig pulls 680watts so i have a bit of room to go until the 900w.
If youre on 220 you'll have lots more room (1200watts).
server psus are noisy because of the puny fan that needs to move copious amounts of air.
If you think thats loud wait till you hear an Asic ramp up.....
