Re: [Antminer S1 open for sale again] The last round before the Chinese New Year

Hello guys ,today i got my miner finally from the customers Shocked

, its my first time setting Bitmain miners,and i am going to buy the PSU now, so i just want to get sure that any PSU with 450 W will be good right? , also i will get an antena to make it work in wireless.

is there anything else should i consider ?

Thanks in Advance.

Bro get a bigger PSU.
Something like 600w+

You might want to overclock at some point.

Also make sure it is a good one as power quality matters a lot.
Get a Gold one.

Mine failed to boot up using a 500W. A fuse just kept blowing in the PSU. Everything fine using a 600W.

BITMAIN stated 360W, I bought a 750W for 2 miners. That makes me worry now... Are there measurements available somewhere? Normal and over clocked?

Depends on how many amps are available on the 12v line on your PSU. A 500 w PSU with a single 12v rail spec'd for 32-33A will likely be ok as it can handle near 400w; one that does 25A will only do 300w will not work. It's all in the specs! However if you have multiple rails on your 12v line you'll need to combine multiple separate rails to power a single ant unit or several any units (i.e. 12v1 [30a]+ 12v2 [30a] = ok. 12v1[30a] + 12v1[30a] = overload).

Here is an example of a 860W 80plus platinum powersupply that'll work just fine for 2 units:

and one that is 1200w 80plus platinum that will require power from multiple different rails:

Notes:
Stock power consumption is approx 360w and approx 400w-ish for OC power consumption.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S. a Corsair CX-500 will work just fine with 1 ant miner (42A on the 12v line; same as the CX-600).
