Re: Liquid Cooled Miner C1 Discussion and Support Thread

Is Corsair RM850 80+ Gold PSU enough for running one Antminer C1?

Yes, although I still prefer the 1000 as an investment if you're buying a new one.

I can confirm the rm1000 is great with theses. I had a cold ambient temps and PSU was in its "quiet" mode.

I have got conformation I am being sent 2 pumps as replacement's. I bought a molex to fan connector so I don't have to worry about my wire frying boards.

All said it looks like I am losing around 2 weeks mining on 2 C1 machines. Down 2 board fan controller's on 2 separate boards. Lost higher priced coolant. Paranoid and bought 2 extra pumps, and molex to fan boards. With extra parts I ordered I am hoping to lose only around a week, but it came at a premium.

I will know more when I get all the parts from RMA.

I highly suggest 2 things after all of this so you don't lose mining time.

Order a extra pump (I went to ebay to get from closer location)
Order a molex to fan power board (example http://www.amazon.com/Phobya-4-Pin-3-Pin-Splitter-Connection/dp/B007S3T4O0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1415897694&sr=8-3&keywords=molex+to+fan this is just 3 pin, the pumps they use are 4 pin, but they run off two through harness

i really like that molex to fan power board.
those would work great in my pc builds.
this is part reasons why i always read these threads.

It's working great with it. And no chance of fried boards like with sysgear harness (version 1).

One thing to mention is I replaced pump with a 3 pin fan so I was able to do a molex to fan pin board with all 3 pins. If you are using the syscooling pump you for optimum power need one 4 pin for their pump. They do make some with a mix so it's possible to get one that does this.

Why would you change the 4pin connection to a 3? There is a reason why it is a 4 pin. The most obvious is for some kind of control. That 4th pin controls the speed and I'm guessing if it senses a higher temp runs the pump a little quicker. Unless there is no logic in the circuitry of the pump at all. It actually would have been easier for syscooling to keep everything 3pin, but I think the 4pin is there for a reason.
That's why you can't find any molex power boards with 4 pin connectors on them.
