Mr. Mining Chamber, really appreciated your videos, which are very technical / detail oriented, they saved a lot of time, and solved many potential problems for me. Thank you for being so helpful and informative!
9:44 here in Argentina the standard is 220-10A and that Powersupply uses 220-13A. It is something to keep in mind just in case since the common connections being 10A can cause something to burn. Just one detail!
I'm a relatively small miner right now but this changes my thoughts on getting atx psus for future builds, definitely going to try a server psu on my next idea!
You are so thorough! And thank you for introducing me to Cursed Mining! This is exactly what I need to feel prepared for my first build w/ Server PSUs!
I love this video. It is very informative. I had one comment about your statement at 17:15 seconds. You said the meter showed amps but all the breakout boards I have seen, the meter shows volts so you can't use the meter to calculate watts.
Ordered a psu from parallel miner with your code and just got it running , It works better then expected only need 1 psu for the 6 cards on that rack and its still running in quiet mode, was expecting a loud fan but its not even kicking on!! Definitely recommend server power supply's now 👍👍
dude you're the first person I hear talking about Server PSUs being too loud to have in your bedroom or livingroom. I'm surrounded by gear and I was thinking of stacking all GPUs and HDD into one server and adding a server PSU in my bedroom. I'm glad you talked about it being loud. I'll try to figure out how loud they are before I purchase one. Thanks again. Subbed.
They are small jet engines. You will not be able to sleep. Trick is to keep them under ~70% load so they don't kick on the fast rpm mode. So like the 750s you don't want to go above 500w too far. The 1200s run on 110v only do 900w, so don't go above 630w or so. If you run 240v you can run them up to 840w before they take off.
For those who thinks about getting a server psu, here are a few questions i had when i first got mine :-) -How loud does it gets? They can get loud but it depends on the load and ambient temp. Its a high pitch whining noice when it runs on full blast. If you have just half load in it, you probably will hear it but i was surprised how silent it was then. But as i got more cards and used more power it got louder. It depends on what you can tolerate. Btw, the fan runs on low speed whenever its connected to power, and turned off. This is normal and will help cool it when you turn off your rig. -How hot does it get? They get hot, i was concerned at first but turns out its just how it is. I can easely meassure about 40*c on top of it when running. When you first start up, it will run silent, but as the temp rises, the fan wil ramp up to full blast until the temp goes down, and then it will gradualy reduce the fan speed. I meassured the temp from the exhaust, and when it reached 44-45*c it went on full speed. I designed and 3d printed a shroud for mine where i have a 80mm fan blowing air directly into the back of the psu to help feed it with air, this reduced the fan noice a bit as it helped with cooling. I was thinking of uploading it to Thingiverse, but havent got around doing it yet. I went straight for the server psu, i have never used one before, but it was really easy and CHEAP! Btw, the display on my breakoutbard shows volt, and not amp/watt.. But that would be awsome if it showed watt! And when it starts up and nothing using any power, it shows 12.1, when its running and the gpu's mining, it will go down to 11.9.. Kind of weird and i dont know if its normal.. Edit: Apparantly its normal. I made a video of my PSU, and different sound levels, also how the fan shroud i made helps to lower the sound of the fan. Video: ua-cam.com/video/wuPqBd300EE/v-deo.html Fan shroud on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4790083 If im not allowed to post links here, tell me and i will remove it. :-)
@@MiningChamber Thanks! Just a few thoughts i had when i started, tried to google it but not much info to find on this, guess its not something most people think of.. I always find my self having weird question that never has been asked online. Hehe
@@davidanthony1816 Yeah if you have a small load on it its not bad at all. But as the load increases it gets louder. Think i have around 800w on mine, and its pretty loud, not asic loud, but its winy so to speak.
Thank you for another great video! I started from zero but now have 2 rigs running and all Thanks to your videos! I bought from Parallel Miner a 1200W HP server PSU. It is only able to power two RX 580s (can't power 3). It can't power a single RX 5700 XT. Wall voltage is 120V, most likely 15A (so it should be outputing at least around 900W). I am contacting Parallel Miner support but wanted to know if anyone else here had this problem.
Thank you! Really nice to hear ⛏️⛏️ As for the PSU, you should be able to power 4. 4 GPUs undervolted will be at 140 watts at most each so yes I'd recommend checking up with them!
I was able to figure it out. I had an ATX+server PSU setup that was linked together. Turns out I have to turn on the server PSU first (wait around 5 seconds) before turning on the ATX.
Thank you all for watching!! **Correction!** - That meter on the breakout board is not for measuring amps, it shows the voltage, silly me 😅 (Credits to the awesome community)
Another type of power supply that you could use are ASIC power supplies. If they have a 6-pin, they always run off of 12 volt and are compatible with GPUs. My rigs all run off of 1 Bitmain 1600W PSU and 1 ATX PSU. I have recently ordered a few Pico PSU's wich will end up replacing my ATX PSU's Another great place to order mining rig parts from is Alibaba. You are for the most part ordering a lot of the same components which makes them really cheap Great video as always and congratulations on 10k!
Here's an idea for a video, do a what to avoid or what to buy when it comes to ethernet switches! I've only got 2 ports on my satellite but I'm going to soon have 3x rigs! And the last thing I want to do is buy another expensive satellite. Love the videos so far, keep it up!
1st thing: Ohms law. Use 220/240(depending where you are) whenever possible. 2nd thing: In older homes with smaller panels, let's say you're running 1 server supply @220 and an atx from an outlet. You should probably be aware that during summer months when electricity use is high and many, many homes have this, you will get line drop on one leg. Now, your server ps? It's on both and the neutral, it cares not! Your atx that you plugged in and maybe power 1 or 2 cards off of? You can see where things could get funky and if you hang a scope on either leg to neutral/gnd or to the chassis of the rig for that matter, you will likely see some wild transient spikes when the AC kicks on with the microwave or something. I think if you CAN, then run the ATX on 220 as well. That way the whole system is balanced, spikes are absorbed much easier and your reference is going to be the same to gnd/neutral, this can save cards and especially motherboards. Plus, all that said, it is ALWAYS better to run higher voltage at lower current than vice versa. I mean, look outside...........Imagine if those lines carried 500v instead of 15k to 500k+? They'd be thick as a tree trunk to bleed of the heat generated! Great video, thanks!!
Great demonstration thank you. I have a question. When it comes to connecting power to my gpus (dual 8pin) why would I use a splitter. The break out board cables are 6pin - 6+2 so could I not use 2 of them for the 1 GPU and then 1 more for the riser?
great video. Do you have a link to a pico unit you recommend? I haven't really seen any examples of folks powering their motherboard from a server PSU and no direct links to the PICO board setup they used. Thanks!
So I'm building a 12 1660 super rig. Each gpu should pull 78W. and only needs 1 8 pin. Per my understanding, it would be safe to connect a single six pin to a server PSU and split it to power both the GPU and the riser. Is this correct or do you think I'm missing something? It's the question that has been bothering me, any advice would be appreciated. THANK YOU
Two things the 75w 150w max has two do with two things. Safety factor which is just how much you want to bake into make the product safe from over use or poor manufacturing. But I believe the second part of this has to do with the NEC or IEE standard for plug and arc flash spacing. The more power the greater the risk of arc between two pins creating a short and a fire. This again is sort of a safety thing based on engineering analysis for failures for a component and design. I can get into a deep dive of this later offline in an email.
Thanks for this video! I just ordered several server supplies for my rigs. I wish to run them in tandem with my ATX PS but it's not clear to me what cable I would use between the ATX and the break out board. Can you clarify for me?
Man. Here I was making an ass out of myself at every forum and comments o UA-cam thinking a 6pin carries 75w and an 8 pin carries 150w because it states that online everywhere like it’s carved in stone. Now that I see that I can easily reach 200w with a 6 pin cable I’m not paranoid to power my cards with the server psu 6pin breakout ports as I only have 1660supers and they are undervolted at 80w tops. So glad thanks man. Ps.: I hope I won’t burn the house down.. I’m renting tho so give it a try 😂😂
So if i understand correctly the 6 pin connectors from the breakout board can provide only 75 and not 150w (as the normal 8 pin ones on atx psus can)? So i would need to use 2 seperate cables (2x 6pin) ? or do the 6 pins provide as much power as normal 6+2 pin ones (150w each)?
thanks for the info! When HP server PSU is connected to ATX PSU by mini 4 pin molex, I noticed that there is an on/off switch button on the break board. Do you need to toggle it on before you power the main ATX PSU that connects to Mobo?
Wow, brother very good… I have been waiting for this video for a long time. I finally got it. very good explanation. i really want this PSU, but i am living in India, what should I do? bro plz suggest me
New to mining. So does the 4 pin connector from the ATX psu to the server psu power the server psu? Or does the server psu need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well? Appreciate the video!
Great video man, im havin some issues to make a server psu work. can I use 2x 6 pin to power a GPU or I must have a splitter so I can use only 1x 6pin?
Amazing video as always! I had one question, can i use two separate 6 pin to 8pin wires to power mu dual 8pin gpu? Or do i have to use the splitter for it? Replies are really appreciated :) Love your work mining chamber! Keep up ❤️
Power a single GPU and corresponding riser from the same PSU, don't use more than one splitter per cable (Don't split a splitter), and never use sata to power riser (even if you're using sata to Molex adapter). Also good practice to avoid using Molex to power riser IF you can (but that's not always possible). So to answer your question, using two separate 6 pins is okay as long as they aren't from different PSUs.
Great video! Clarification please - I am using a break out board and ordered multiple 6 and 8 pin cables from site you mention in video. But I am 4 cable short - Can I use 6 or 8 pin cable that came with my original (thermaltake) psu in the remaining slots in the breakout board for either power to riser or power to Gpu? I believe you said it’s ok to use but not ok to interchange cables with different PSU’s....
Thanks for the video!! But im curious why there is no 8pin’s on board instead of 6 pin? I think it would be more efficient maybe... and one more question, can i use one riser for rise the another riser something like that. Does it harm?
@@MiningChamber im sorry i wrote riser instead of splitter. What im trying to say is how about using a splitter to splitter, instead of powering 1 riser, we can connect a splitter into that 6pin which is going to riser and we can power 2 riser. Is it safe to do? Or is it logical?
@@FunFunello ah yes definitely doable but if your already powering a high consumption gpu that is 150 watts and up and then your going to power 2 risers and 1 gpu with one strand that might be too much! Not recommended in a way
in strategy number 3 are u sure it safe to do with a 4pin to molex cable then attaching the EVGA Molex Perif Cable, ive heard stories of it frying the HP server
@@MiningChamber I forgot to ask you, if u used the 4pin to molex connector to sync PSU n server, does it matter if the ATX PSU is using all the vga ports, my psu has 4 vga ports and each is powering a gpu, so is the 4pin to molex is still safe in this case?
They are very small, and the fan is also small, so it takes some rpm's to move the air through it. :-) I made a video to my post here that shows the fan noice etc. ua-cam.com/video/wuPqBd300EE/v-deo.html
Great video - One small question though. Cursed mentioned he powers risers with ATX 6pin>molex cables and uses them on a server PSU. My question is can I use an ATX 6pin>Sata in the same way? My front fans have to hook up to a hub and that hub will only accept sata for power? I tried using my Thermaltake Smart RGB 6pin>sata strand on the server PSU and it didn't do anything, im wondering if this is at all possible to achieve or is it only atx molex cables that work with server breakout boards?
So let me try understanding this… is there no need for the big thick power cable to be plugged into the server psu? Only the small 4 pin cable from the atx psu?
I was wondering how do I add more gpus to my rig if my atx power supply only has enough slots to power 3 gpus. By connecting a server psu to the atx. Thanks to your video. It's informative 👍
well you did talk about everything, but what about plugging it in the wall what do i need for that? i like in the UAE so our wall plugs are like the UK.
Greate video. But I have a question. I have 2 RTX 3090 running at 315 watts each. Can I use the HP DPS-1200SB to power them? They take three 8 pin cables + 6 pin riser each GPU.
Hey Mining Chamber, is it cheaper for you to buy an 3D Printer for $230, and then just print out frames as much as you want? if you gonna get more and more riggs.
Mr. Mining Chamber, really appreciated your videos, which are very technical / detail oriented, they saved a lot of time, and solved many potential problems for me. Thank you for being so helpful and informative!

Thank you!! I have always been here 😛
Grateful for the info brother, much appreciated! Just what I needed to see before I order my server PSUs over the weekend. Thank you :D

@@MiningChamber is it recommended to buy rtx 3080s from alibaba?
New to mining. So does the 4 pin connector from the ATX psu to the server psu power the server psu? Or does the server psu need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well? Appreciate the video!
Great video man, im havin some issues to make a server psu work. can I use 2x 6 pin to power a GPU or I must have a splitter so I can use only 1x 6pin?
I saw a Barel jack but where is the 6 pins for the server PSU?
Hey, thanks for the video. What is the HP Power supply model number please?
Amazing video as always! I had one question, can i use two separate 6 pin to 8pin wires to power mu dual 8pin gpu? Or do i have to use the splitter for it? Replies are really appreciated :)
Love your work mining chamber! Keep up ❤️
Power a single GPU and corresponding riser from the same PSU, don't use more than one splitter per cable (Don't split a splitter), and never use sata to power riser (even if you're using sata to Molex adapter). Also good practice to avoid using Molex to power riser IF you can (but that's not always possible). So to answer your question, using two separate 6 pins is okay as long as they aren't from different PSUs.
@@typodapsycho1734 can you give me an explanation why my 6 pin to 6+2 connected to ide/sata on psu cannot power my riser ? (Pc won't boot)
Hi great video if i want a PSU Server but which break out board do i need for powering motherboard and so on ???
Great video! Clarification please - I am using a break out board and ordered multiple 6 and 8 pin cables from site you mention in video. But I am 4 cable short - Can I use 6 or 8 pin cable that came with my original (thermaltake) psu in the remaining slots in the breakout board for either power to riser or power to Gpu? I believe you said it’s ok to use but not ok to interchange cables with different PSU’s....
Are the psu's on parallelminer brand new or used ones ? Coudnt find any info online.
does anyone know what that molex to 4 pin connector at 18:18 is called?
Thanks for the video!! But im curious why there is no 8pin’s on board instead of 6 pin? I think it would be more efficient maybe... and one more question, can i use one riser for rise the another riser something like that. Does it harm?
I am actually not sure myself! And as for the riser I did not understand your question sorry
@@MiningChamber im sorry i wrote riser instead of splitter. What im trying to say is how about using a splitter to splitter, instead of powering 1 riser, we can connect a splitter into that 6pin which is going to riser and we can power 2 riser. Is it safe to do? Or is it logical?
@@FunFunello ah yes definitely doable but if your already powering a high consumption gpu that is 150 watts and up and then your going to power 2 risers and 1 gpu with one strand that might be too much! Not recommended in a way
@@MiningChamber totally understood, for 5700xt’s i think its okay since its drawing about 90w... im not sure. Thanks for help
@@FunFunello Off the wall its taking at least 130 watts. but if that is your only solution then yes go for it!
in strategy number 3 are u sure it safe to do with a 4pin to molex cable then attaching the EVGA Molex Perif Cable, ive heard stories of it frying the HP server
I believe I did reply to this comment, if I did not sorry! but yes they are meant to be done that way, I have not yet heard of any issues like that
@@MiningChamber ok thanks because my board is the exact as yours in the video so I was wondering
@@MiningChamber I forgot to ask you, if u used the 4pin to molex connector to sync PSU n server, does it matter if the ATX PSU is using all the vga ports, my psu has 4 vga ports and each is powering a gpu, so is the 4pin to molex is still safe in this case?
6:37 hot? how come? aren't they efficient and the noisy fan cools it easily?
They are very small, and the fan is also small, so it takes some rpm's to move the air through it. :-)
I made a video to my post here that shows the fan noice etc. ua-cam.com/video/wuPqBd300EE/v-deo.html
Great video - One small question though. Cursed mentioned he powers risers with ATX 6pin>molex cables and uses them on a server PSU.
My question is can I use an ATX 6pin>Sata in the same way? My front fans have to hook up to a hub and that hub will only accept sata for power? I tried using my Thermaltake Smart RGB 6pin>sata strand on the server PSU and it didn't do anything, im wondering if this is at all possible to achieve or is it only atx molex cables that work with server breakout boards?
That breakout board you showed us doesn't seem to have any slot for powering the mobo no?
The newer breakout boards have 4 pin to 4 pin to turn all on. Also has a button to turn on off
Oh nice thank you for the info!
Where do you get the 6 pin to 8 pin pcie connector cables to use on the breaker board to the GPU?
Does the Molex to four pin adapter to connect both ATX and server power supplies come with the ATX power supply or did you have to buy that separate?
What’s the cable called that goes from the ATX power supply to the breakout board?
Hello do you have a link to buy the 8pin to dual 8 pin splitter?
Yes you can find it in NerdGearz ! link in the description for NerdGearz
Wow! Avesome video ! Thanks
So let me try understanding this… is there no need for the big thick power cable to be plugged into the server psu? Only the small 4 pin cable from the atx psu?
Is it possible to link THREE sever PSU's together?
Yes!
I was wondering how do I add more gpus to my rig if my atx power supply only has enough slots to power 3 gpus. By connecting a server psu to the atx. Thanks to your video. It's informative 👍
And if you need a quiet supply AND 6 gpus? I only have 2 supply ports in the room im in😅
Do the breakoutboards also have connections for CPU fan?
Not necessarily usually cpu fan plugs to board if it's a stock cpu fan
Nice awesome tutorial
Can you plz make one video how to set the best Bios setting for mining motherboard ?
Our 3rd video on the channel slightly covers that! But for sure will do an updated one soon
@@MiningChamber thanks ill check this out :)
Can I connect these HP power supplies in parallel or in series?
well you did talk about everything, but what about plugging it in the wall what do i need for that? i like in the UAE so our wall plugs are like the UK.
Greate video. But I have a question. I have 2 RTX 3090 running at 315 watts each. Can I use the HP DPS-1200SB to power them? They take three 8 pin cables + 6 pin riser each GPU.
Hey Mining Chamber, is it cheaper for you to buy an 3D Printer for $230, and then just print out frames as much as you want? if you gonna get more and more riggs.
Wow, I just discovered that your channel did cover this. Amazing!
😉😉 glad you got your answer!! I am actually going to do a video soon on building homemade mining frame
