Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Hi everyone!
I got mine. Yeah!#
I searched in the forum but did not get any suitable information about my question.
I have read that there can be fire Hazzard if you connect the Apollo miner incorrectly.
I got a Miner without PSU.
Can I connect the miner with a PSU that already supplies GPU-s during mining.
I have more than two x 6+2pin free and the PSU still has over 1000w power that is not needed, or is that a problem?
I'm not sure...
Thank you for the Support.

Thats not a problem as long as you plug in both PCIE cables from the same PSU to the back of the Apollo, and the PSU has at least 200-300 watts headroom for the Apollo.
Issue come in when you try to plug in two separate power supplies in the back of the Apollo (ie some people think if they have 100 watt headroom in one PSU, and 200 watts in another, they'll just plug in one PCIE cable from each PSU to the back of the Apollo...THIS IS THE FIRE HAZARD). Even a small imbalance in voltage will cause major current to flow between the PSUs and melt the cables/start a fire.
