For a PSU-- What are the actual amp requirements for 12V? I am considering a Corsair CX 430M (12V@32A) or maybe a CX 750M (+12V@62A) to run two dual unit AntMiner S1s?

depends on the spees you can overclock but will use nearly 500w for about 420 ghs divide watts between volts .also can underclock for more efficient ghs over watt . the 750 is better shot for both but best use at least ome of 850.also seasonic is far better than corsair. search in foruma also have good tips and advices

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

You need true 12Vdc 360W 30A but also its very important the quality of power Supply there are some junky power supplies even 460w or 600W may will not work or shut down every 1/2 an hour etc.
910707
No way you need either 2x600w or 1x1000 minimum bronze certified for overclock or 800w for regular clock or 2x 500 bronze cert min

EVGA states the minimum power supply is 600W with a minimum 42 amps available on the 12v rail, but the minimum power supply required would depend on power demands of the rest of the system. That said, if you have a name brand 750W power supply from a reputable company, it should be fine. Please do not use a power supply that came with your case. It will not be sufficient regardless of advertised wattage rating.The most I have been able to get my system to draw from the wall during general gaming is about 500 watts, but usually the power draw is closer to 400 watts during gaming. This is with a heavily overclocked I7 and Single Titan.

The EVGA Hadron Air's PSU is 500w with 40A on the +12v rail. For this card it is recommended to have a minimum 600w power supply with 42A on the +12v rail, so the Hadron's power supply appears to be slightly underpowered. I would say just upgrade your PSU, but it seems you might possibly have another issue as well in dealing with the physical size of this card. This card is somewhere around 10.5-11" long (at least my 780 Ti ACX Superclocked is that size) and I believe the Hadron Air supports a graphics card around 10.5" which is cutting it kind of close. I'm not saying it wont fit, its just something to keep in mind if and research further if you have your heart set on this card. Also, I know this product is listed as 12.8" long, but I think thats the packaging dimensions as my 780Ti's box it came in was 12.8" long.

Check out the Corsair CX series. I got the Corsair CX600M from Newegg for ~$80 and it is a fantastic power supply.

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

I have a single unit (not overclocked because I don't wan't to void the manufacturer's warranty) powered by a Corsair RM750. It's a well-built, gold certified modular psu with a massive heat sink. I've had it running 24/7 and have had exactly zero issues with it.

Your best bet is to google "PSU Calculator" and because they are all slightly different plus the components into each online calculator and see what they give you for a wattage count. Usually they are configured to calculate a 90% load. So whatever wattage you get is usually on the high end of your system running at near max conditions. My system running two of these with the FX 8350, 16gb RAM, 1 DVDRW, and Corsair H60 uses about 600w. However, start overclocking those cards and you can jump the wattage up quickly. I went to 850w psu to be safe but ran cards at stock clock

No worth the chance. This thing is absolute garbage. I lost a heck of a lot from this, but I should have read the feedback. I found later most power supply's cannot carry this kind of current. I returned it for a EVGA 1300 watt 80 plus gold supply that cost only 190$. I can live with 1300 vs 1600. But if you need that mush power I don't know where you will get it on a single rail. I would probably go with something external like a server grade. Good luck.

The PSU has 2 six pin plus 2 connectors on the same cable. I used it to fire up a i7 920 with 1 HD6450, powered by the board. there was not enough juice. Removed it, and have not found a use for it yet. You should be in the market for a single rail, 750-800 watt, with 60 plus amps on it. This power supply doesn't produce good numbers after 35% load.

Depends on how may, since one miner has 2.5W at 5V, that means it consumes about 0.5A of current, so you need usb adaptor that can supply 0.5 * num_of_miners amperes (it is usually written in the description) and also it'd be good if you took one with some reserve .. say 0.5A - that way it would not run at maximum power all the time

Another mentioned he is using a 300 watt power supply in the present reviews. At present, my computer setup is using the following: Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX500) The one that is being used at present for this setup is performing great and is ultra-quiet as well. Overall, very satisfied with the power supply in use. Cannot guarantee that a 300 watt power supply will work as desired. Can state that the one in use by the computer here has had no power issues or cause any errors for the operating system.

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W

Well, I've seen power draw benchmarks of 2 Crossfire 290xs range from around 600-750. So I would would say a PSU thats a tad over 1000 W total. Don't cheap out on your PSU either, get something with a reputable OEM. Would hate to see your cards go up in smoke.

Hi Laura, thanks for asking! The 1 Th/s BTC miner has 1000 Watt power supply. It will need a 20 amp circuit to operate on safely. If you need help setting up your miner, I offer technical assistance. I hope that helps you. If you have any other questions, please ask.

Search 'Corsair PSU calculator' and it will tell you appx what you need. Nine of ten experienced users, builders would advise spending a little more and getting a 6, 650 or 750W minimal.

This card has a TDP of 115W, thus a PSU of at least 450-500W* would be recommended, leaving some wattage for other components and upgrades. *Standard PSU warning: Watch out for outdated and/or mislabeled PSUs (such as this one: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=324 ) - some PSUs do not deliver their rated voltage, or are rated on their 'peak' output wattage (the wattage they can provide for ~10-50 milliseconds before catastrophically failing)
