Hello
So I have 4 x S3 miners coming next week and Im just about to buy the power supplies. I was thinking two Corsair HX850 (850Watts), only snag is they have 6xPCI-E 6 connecters and the miners take four each. Would like to over clock them abit and concerned the wire will heat up to much.

I know they can run on 2, Im wondering if I could connect three to each miner or will it only work in arrangements of 2 or 4?
Looked at this guide which is great but isnt that detailed.

Its better to buy an server PSU wich is more efficient more reliable and much easier to exchange when the break down. All you need is a server PSU + a breakout board.
I have got an IBM DSP2000 PSU wich can go to 2500W or 200A on the 12V rail.. no PC-PSU can beat that (bought it for $ 45)
Interesting, are the server PSU's even better than the 80 Gold Rated ATX PSU's. I have seen on youtube some guy tested a crappy PSU against a Corsair and the difference in power usage at the wall was 120watts! The crappy one was pulling 470watts and the Corsair was pulling 350watts thats alot if your farming.
Do you have any brands of server PSU and breaker boards...im in the UK.
