How to SAFELY use multiple power supplies for crypto mining (4 ways!) 24-pin PSU splitters, Add2PSU
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- In this video I go over the 4 different ways of how to use multiple power supplies in one mining rig. Using 2 or more power supplies in the same crypto mining rig can be a great way to save money, as it is usually cheaper to buy two lower powered PSUs than one high powered PSU. For example 2x 850W PSUs will usually cost less than 1x 1600W power supply. And with the techniques I show you in this video, you will be able to plug 2 or more power supplies into your PC or mining rig safely. In the video I go over the techniques from worst to best. The most basic and "worst" way is just using a paperclip or exposed wire to trigger the 24-pin circuit on your secondary power supply. The second technique is very similar just using a cap for the 24-pin instead. The third technique is very common, using a 24-pin atx psu splitter cable that lets you plug 2 PSUs into the same motherboard. The fourth and recommended way is using what is called an Add2PSU-chip. These clever little Add2PSU chips lets you daisy chain multiple power supplies together safely and works by letting your primary PSU trigger your secondary ones to start instantly. Finally, I also go trough how to safely plug your components in when using multiple power supplies in your mining rig.

If you have any questions about how to use multiple power supplies or how to plug your components in, then please post them here in the comments! I also recommend you watch my video on how to safely power your mining rigs here: ruclips.net/video/MIW0i7SlIYI/видео.html And also here's a video of me building a mining rig from start to finish: ruclips.net/video/TUtr9S4b2T4/видео.html
your link doesnt work internationally
@@pearlrival3124 unfortunately I only have american amazon links so far. I'm working on making it international.
@Tbird 2013 I’ve had some really high temperatures in my mining location recently and the have held up flawlessly. Since the actual chips barely use any power at all they don’t get warm really, just the temperature of what is around it.
@Tbird 2013 i use molex on all my rigs. maintain good connections (like you would in any electrical situation) use new psu's (2005-above) you are good.
Can you help, i tried this powering my extra rig using this method but the fans start screaming, and LA on hiveos keep climbing, i though its going to explode lol.
Man I love how you explain like teaching a kid not to play with fire and what are the consequences. Seriously ur great at what you do. Pls don't change the way you make videos. Cheers mate
Hey thanks for this very nice comment! I’m so happy to hear that you find my videos helpful :)
I second that. Very well explained
Yeah great video. Your explanations are awesome. I love how you say things twice to really help articulate the point. You probably have saved people from burning their houses down
Really enjoy your content. Your intro, as humble as it may be, is one of my favorite parts. You'll go far my friend. Keep it up!
my garage is finna be 300 degrees thanks to you. You're such a tech wizard man! I wish you taught me in highschool
Both ran multiple ATX PSUs in chain and installed a dedicated 240v line for server PSUs. Chaining ATX PSUs is SO much easier if you can get them for good prices. Great video
Thank you so much for explaining the setup in simple and plain language. I learned so much from this video and now know how to properly connect my power supply and GPU(s). Thanks!
Thank you for this, I bought through your link! Channel is fantastic, and you seem like a very down to earth guy! I’ve just reached 150mhs so I guess I’m now taking mining seriously, and no doubt I will be hitting the bell and learning a lot more from you! Fantastic content, keep up the great work!!!!
This is an excellent guide for using multiple PSUs. Many thanks for creating it. If you're taking requests, I'd say another great beginner's guide would be cooling. Like how to use the fans (back or front), which way to blow air, how to use external fans as you have in your setup etc.. Thank again for the great content.
Cool I’ll add it to my (long) list of potential video ideas :)
This was exactly what I needed to know. I especially appreciate your extra tips about keeping the GPU and its riser on the same PSU. Thank you!!!
❤
Thanks so much Seb… I stumbled on this issue and this video is exactly what I was looking for. And I also want to thank you 🙏🏻 and it’s because of your videos I have been able to put my first mining rig today!!! Thanks a tonne man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌
Wow brother, the way you explained everything is so good...im going to build my first rig with two 3090's and im glad I found you...I'll be following all your vids for my reference. Lots of love from India ❤️
Hi Sebs, great content! The timing of this video is perfect. I'm a noob miner just recently building my first rig. Safety is top of mind for me mining at home. I've been soaking up all your vids on how to mine safely. Especially with the summer and family vacations being away from the house for extended periods. I'd rather focus on enjoying my vacation rather then being worried about the house burning down. lol I am planning on putting an extra fire alarm and a wireless CO2 extinguisher for extra precaution. Keep up the great work!!
with lhr cards there is no vacation at all 😀😁😂
Good vid, the only thing Id like to remind people is that there is actually small current running the paperclip, and that you can just cut it shorter and cover it with electric tape. The tester cap is probably more safe.
Good Morning Miners! Great Video Seb! Keep this fantastic content coming!
Cheers mate, will do! Thanks for stopping by! :)
@@SebsFinTechChannel of around 100 rigs I made this year, only the secondary psu died with the plug (that comes with some seasonic and some evga psus). I will now go with the sebs aproved method
Just as I was trying to figure out how to run a 1000w,850w and 650w without plugging into the asus b250 mobo, Thanks Seb you have helped in my journey, I look forward to your next video man and great work on this one.
Thank you Seb! Just ordered the SATA version of this for my new ATX power supply for my first multi-GPU rig!! It’s made of 3090s (I have limited space so it’s worth it for me to get high hashrate cards). I also used the TRex absolute core clock on them to save 55W of power on each of them thanks to your other video. Keep up the good work.
I would not recommend using SATA for mining.
Great explanation. This is what we need. Keep up the good work.
Omigod Seb you have done it again! Thank you for this video. I am going through every single one of your videos and the posts in Discord Chat with Seb channel and am learning so much! This old school 1980s cobol programmer/desktop builder granny loves getting her hands back into PC components via mining. Day job is management, haven't been a programmer since the 90s. I miss being hands-on! I've been slowly putting my rig together and by trial and error/watching your videos/readings (not always in that order), I am getting things sorted out. I just realized the my 3070 that has 2 8pin connectors should NOT be using one power cable. Thank god I just bought a new psu yesterday so I could hook it up. Unfortunately all I have is the jumper for now, but I did just order your top 2 recommendations and will switch over to one of them when they arrive. I've been getting some weird issues causing my rig to crash that I think will settle down using 2 power supplies, plus its definitely got to be healthier and safer to power my 3070 the right way. Thanks for all you do, you are awesome!
best tutorial on how to do this, I was going to go down the cable route before watching this video. Instead I've ordered via your link, cheers bro
Thanks for explaining connecting multiGPUs in a rig in simple yet best way. I am from IT background and i really appreciate your way of connecting multiple GPUs for minig rig
Hi Seb, great in depth video you have made. Lots of great information which I didn’t know. Thanks and take care from the UK
Ive been searching this video in my whole time. Your explanation very clear. BIG THANKS !!!
Glad you liked it! :)
You’re perfect thanks fir all those information ℹ️ you’re giving… i’m here in my first steps to start mining and I think your tutoring is enough for me to go all the way through making my first mining rig…
Much respect ✊
You are just the best, thank you so much! You literally saved me from big house fires multiple times. THANK YOU!
One of the best tech channel I have found.
The best video i have seen since I started mining one year ago. I got rid of my server PSU. It was very efficient, but way too loud and hot. I got ten rx5600xt gpus and got myself one RM650 and one RM750 for 100 Euros. Both are very quiet, the system is stable. Since the rx5600 runs on lower watts, I can use one cable to run two cards and two risers!
Building my first rig and going hard with 6 3060tis, thank you for the great explanation and safety tips!
My question: how did u get the 3060 tis
Great video. Thanks! Just ran into this problem on my third card. Cheers mate. Keep these videos rolling.
Thumbs up for you man !! Very nice explanation and useful information. The way you explain also is class ! Keep up the good work !!
Great info the beginner like myself! Thank you for all you've produced to help us all out!
Very clear and informative love your patience great work!
Realy great video bro. Everything explained perfectly, thank you!
Thank you very much. I didn't know that your number one (chip) exists. Such helpful videos!
Thank you very much for your kind and clear explanation! You're great at making content! Cheers!
Very helpful and easy to understand. Ordered PSU Chips using your links! THANKS! :)
Seriously man damn good explanation! Kudos I love watching your videos and everyday I'm learning something new!
very very nice your just a hero i was looking for exaclty that information in the whole web but didnt find the full explanation but you nailed it
keep going with your amazing tutorials 🤘💪👌
I used your link today to buy one of those Add2psu adapters, waiting on another card and there is not enough connection on the PSU for many 30 series cards.
On these EVGA 3080ti cards, they went berserk with power requirements 3x8 pin and 450w 😲
Great educational stuff man, keep it up 👍🏻
Awesome video man, my personal favorite was atx psu and server psu combination. It works well. :)
Yeah that’s a really good combo for getting more watts cheaply!
Uppskattar dina videos väldigt mycket! Keep it up!
Excatly the video i needed, perfectly explained Seb. Thank you for this.
Man I love your chanel. Much appreciated for everything you do...
You are explaining it so easy, thank you, you earned a subscribe!
I learned something today. Thank you.
this guy is a legend went from 0 knowledge about mining to a 4 graphics card rig.Very good videos!
Perfect video, showed me exactly what I was hoping to learn
I've always used atx psus. Never used power on adapters Always use Asus B250 mining boards to plug them in . Easy peasy.... Great vid as always Seb!
Yeah those board are great! I forgot to mention those in the video!
This video is so smart it hurts. Love it and it gave me really useful tips!!
thanks man i love your videos! you're the best hands down. you fixed my power supply issues :'D
I like they you explain every this important in a slow a delicate way. Good job brother. And awesome informative channel
Cheers
the best and easy to understand video imho on the issue multiple power supply for pc and additional gpus
It's a perfect tutorial, I am very grateful for it, thank you so much...
Excellent and illustrative video! Thank you!
Luckily i watched your video til the end. I was thinking to use the main power supply to feed all the components + GPUs and the second power supply to feed only the risers. I didn't think what could happen if one of them stop working. Thanks Bro!
What would happen?
@@bogslurp3532 It would burn ether the riser or the GPU.
Thanks Bro U solved my doubt in a Simplest way.... U r really good... 👍
I'm new to mining and that was great info!! Thank you!!
extremely informative, and well communicated. Kudos!
Great video, very educational thank you for putting the time to create it!!!
Brother you’re great! Keep up up the good work.
Thanks, great video! Not powering combo riser and GPU from different PSUs makes lots of sense.
Bought an add2psu through your link and appreciate the video.
Nice Video much needed and informational. i like the chip method also and will be switching all my rigs ASAP
Cool, glad you found it useful! :)
Wow... You made it sound so easy. Great explaination.
Always great content. Thank you.
This video was super helpful man!
Mate this video is so informative! Thanks heaps :)
Thanks for making this video was exactly everything I. Needed to know
This video was excellent!
Just ordered a 2 pack PSU Chip from Amazon. Thanks!
Awesome video man love it keep posting these type videos
Will do!
Thanks Sebs! This is very helpful!
I must say I always find your videos popping up EXACTLY when I run into issue. I was just thinking about this and here we go… thanks man. 👍
Haha, awesome! What a lucky coincidence :)
Wicked helpful! Thanks man 🤙
Excellent as always. Thanks man. One question, I've got tester caps that came with my EVGA PSU's, is it safe to keep these tester caps on 24/7?
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
Very nice explanation!! Thanks!
Like your stuff, good info, no BS!
I'm new to mining and this is exactly what I was looking for. It's not covered much
Yoo this is amazing brother thank you Soo much you made my day clear
Personally, I think the 3rd way you showed is the BEST way. The using the "Chip" method takes away from an available 6-pin connector you could be using to power up something else. Just my humble opinion. I'm sure someone else probably has mentioned that, but I'm not going to troll through almost 500 comments to find out.
for real，i learned alot from you，real appreciate it dude💪🏿
Fantastic explanation helped me build the rig for AI with multiple GPUs
Very educational video man, thanks!
Thank you for all the info!
Your videos so helpful ! And you help me improve my English =) Thanks a lot!
Excellent! I love to hear that :)
Great video. I´m using dual PCU's for my rigs, going way overboard too. 2x corsair 850w on rig 1 and 2x EVGA 850w on rig 2. both draws about 1000w. they barelly gets warm, and using just a simple cable to short the start on the slave PCU. have them connected on 2 GPU's each(risers and gpu). Also have them connected on different fuses(the 2 corsairs on one fuse and the two EVGA on another). I´m mostly working away from home, and my offtime i usually spend in my cabin, so trying to think about safety(mostly of my neighbours).
Very good! Safety first!! Well done mate sounds very well though out :)
Can we add 850w and 550w psu using Add2Psu chip?
It's a really helpful guideline ! Great !
Very good walk through
Very good information, you answered some basic questions that bothered me. I'm an electronic technician but don't know anything about mining. A couple of suggestions: If you make videos like this in the future, you keep referencing your first choice as a "chip"; however, that is a BOARD and not a chip. A chip implies an integrated circuit and the word chip comes from the actual silicon wafer ie, "chip" that is found on all IC's. So I would use the word circuit board and more correctly you should say relay board because that orange component on the board is a relay that once it is powered on or energized by the main power supply it closes the contacts in the relay that then signals the next power supply to power up. Also when you explain the need for keeping the power supplies separated at around the 13 and 14 minute mark, you mentioned that if one power supply fails and that certainly is a valid concern, but from an electronics perspective, there is always the possibility and I would say the likelihood that no two power supplies will generate the exact same voltage even though the label on the power supply says that it does. You may also notice a plus-minus percentage as well telling you that the voltage will likely not be exact. So the most important reason why we want to keep power supplies apart is so that they don't get into a situation where one voltage is higher than the other supplying the same graphics card. That is a real world and very frequently occurring design issue. Your stipulation to never mix power supplies is well-founded and I wholeheartedly support that. Thanks again! Great video, and of course I gave you a thumbs up.
Thanks man, your video solve my problems..
Love your videos mate.God bless you.
Worst way was the only way I knew after 25 years in IT. Great info.
I was getting crazy why my new psus are not powering on this saved my ass thanks a lot
Great video!!! Very informative but still simple for us noobs!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful :)
awesome vid man, i'm surprised you don't use server psu's, they tend to be much more efficient and the 80% rule doesn't really apply because of this...plus their way cheaper. Are they hard to come by where you live?
Great info Seb!
great video dude and just subbed your channel
Hi Seb. I thought it is a requirement for the GPU'S to have power before the main PSU power the system.
English is not my native language. You’re one of the rare youtubers that I can understand without subs. Keep up with the good content 👌
Fantastic! I try to talk slow because I know not everyone has English as their native language (me included).
Great video and bought some using your link
