Good Morning.

Can anyone confirm which PSU is ideal to run 2 x Antminers OC'd?

Thanks for any help!

I'm running 2 Antminer S1s OCed to 400MHz with one 1200W Thermaltake TPG-1200M and it's not breaking a sweat. I plugged it into a Kill-a-watt and it's pulling about 800W avg at the wall. It's not the cheapest option, but it will do the job.

Thanks for coming back to me.

Out of these, which one is best for 2 OC'd Ants?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-091-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2464 - Single rail

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-161-TT&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2464 - Dual rail

Or any other suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks Gents & Ladies


In my view, the first one. Single rail every time for me now.
Unfortunately the current shortage of high power PSUs is a pain in the neck.
I am awaiting delivery of one of these Corsair 1200i's myself.
When it arrives I will put it on to my KNC Jupiter and move the EVGA 1000P2 from that to my pair of ant miners.
At present I'm running the ants on an OCZ ZX series 850W PSU which seems to be working fine but is too close to 100% load for my comfort.
I have already killed a Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 850W on them (was multi-rail) - it lasted 24 hours the went short-circuit across the mains and tripped the ring-main circuit breaker.


Thanks for the advice - Appreciated Smiley
