I've got my 2 S3's!

Can I run 2 of them off of one Seasonic 860 Plat?

Also, I guess I only need to plug in 2 PCI-E on each side?

I've got mine currently pointed at coincadence with all my little r-boxes.  p2pool!



sure, its good too with seasonic 860w
and, u need to plug 1 on each side... no need to plug all 4 slot of PCI-E on S3
so 2 pcie for 1 S3

s3 already compatible with p2pool???



I went ahead and moved both miners to one Seasonic 860Watt Plat PSU and just plugged in 2 PCI-E's like you said






yea, I have mine pointed at a p2pool (coincadence) and it looks like it's working.  I just turned the miner back on after switching out the PSU's in this shot.



Reports for S3s on p2pool are so far very encouraging, expected hash rate being met and very low HW errors, nice work Bitmain!

Glad to have you on my node, If you have any problems or questions don't hesitate to ask Smiley

It's hard to see in your pic, but I think you have what you want. You want a dedicated PCIe cable to each blade (2 blades per miner), so for 2 miners, that's 4 PCIe cables, should not be a problem to run both off the 860Watt PSU.




Oooooo, super cool that you posted to say hi! Thank you very much for setting up the node!  I appreciate your hard work!
