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.

Thanks for this, but im not sure its the best way to go only using two cables pair one device.
Cant wait now to get my gear, going to take loads of pictures and watt readings then post on here.
What do you mean "not the best way to go"? I just gave you proof that you don't need no stinkin' four PCIe power connections to run an overclocked S3 and you don't need an overpriced/overkill PSU either. I'm not sure why you started a separate thread on this subject in spite of it being discussed till kingdom come on the "ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread" when you seem to already know what you are doing and what you want.
