Re: High Capacity Power Supplies

It seems to me, pretty much any of the miners I look at, after I buy a couple of them, I'll fill up the capacity of a Power Supply.

One of the things I'm worried about is buying more and more Power Supplies as I buy miners.  For example, if I buy a Zeus Thunder X3 miner that consumes 1200 watts of power - I need a power supply for that unit.  Should I wish to buy a second Thunder X3, I need a second power supply.

What I'd like to do as I move forward, instead of buying lots and lots of PC based Power Supplies, I'd like to buy larger power supplies (maybe units that can provide 5,000 watts of 12 volts - or something...) and connect multiple miners to one larger PSU.  Except, I have little to no knowledge / experience with large Power Supplies.

you don't want to do that.  the zeus x3  units are not that good.   they are very power hungry.


here is a zeus x6 unit

much better power ratings.

 there is an hp thread for a 2000 watt hp psu uses 220 volts it could run 2 of these.
