NOTES / UPDATES:
--------------------------------------
The HP 1200 Watt Server Power can provide 1200 Watts when its using 240 Volt, but only 900 Watts when its plugged into 120 Volts.
Clarification: I do use the HP 1200 server power supplies in my home to power mining rigs, but I don't use them in primary living areas like living room, bedrooms due to noise when under heavy load. I typically use them in the garage, basement or spare bedrooms.

older video but still you are the best channel out there. Your aren't condescending towards the users, you explain things clearly and with good instructions.
Thanks, I have a background in IT Development and have done a good bit of training.
We are ALL Noobs to things every day - there is always something new to learn every day.
I recall when I started Crypto it was very hard to find people who explained things in a way (at a level) that I really understood.
BTW, If your looking for ATX Power supplies since you were watching this video EVGA currently has a Sale on their Supernova G2 1300 watt units (and their 100 watts uits too) - its like $ 100 off w free shipping in the US - so its like $ 209. I have never seen them this low. Plus you can get extra 10 % off with our EVGA associates code. PL7Q1P3PAGVTOS3

Thank you for making this video, great information given. Getting my first gpu mining rig together and this video confirmed to me I'm making a great choice getting the Seasonic gold 1300w fully modular psu, as it's super similar to the 1300w Evga psu you showed.
Great, I have not used the Seasonic gold 1300w (yet) but I would love to hear about your experience when you get it.
This Channel is a little gem. Nice work.
Appreciate the compliment
Thank You
What an amazing and informative video! thank you sir I appreciate you and your efforts :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video buddy lots of information for us all lol im kinda new in the mining game any way can do a video on how much power a wall socket can take as in 1500w 3000w I'm getting confused haha
I'm not an electrician or a pro so I don't advice, just share my journey.
My understanding from what I seen and read is to only use up to 80 % the electric capacity of a circuit.
If I have 1800 Watts circuit, then I only use 80% of it for continuous use so I can only use 1440 watts maximum
Thats my understanding, but please do your own research - this is not advice and I am not a Pro.
Great video with far fewer likes than it deserves. Really useful information on important topics. Would have saved me money and grief if I knew that modular cables are not interchangable as they can actually have different polarity. I fried 2 pcs of 10TB hard drives which will be very expensive to replace given I will have to pay data recovery services as these were mirrored drives holding archived personal photos...
Thanks and sorry to hear you have accidentally friend 2 hard drives - I learned some of my lessons the hard way too.
@@CryptoMiningInsider yeah I haven't yet had the data recovered from them yet but did one harddrive some years back and it was around $800 for one drive.
@@carlnakamura4861 Ouch - Expensive lose
amazing video as always
can please you make a video mining rig using bunch of lower tier psu so that people that are starting mining using their home pc can learn to use multiple lower end psu in single rig?
This is how i started... ruclips.net/video/nEarDo3Q3j0/видео.html
@@CryptoMiningInsider Amazing video, I already watched when published, I was asking in the sense that make a build using consumer grade hardware.
ATX motherboards have 2 x16 & 3/4 x4 slots usually. people normally have 500w-700w psu. so you start with normal gaming pc and add some gpu & psu to it. I think it'll be a great idea.
Ofcouse, if time permits.
PS - I've decent knowledge of mining and I don't need such tutorial but that's how I started (I only have 2 gpus in my system, started mining recently, but I had knowledge for about a year.) Also, thanks for always replying.
@@CA.AkshayRajvir Great idea to do budget build and reuse hardware. Let me see when I get time what desktop pc parts, etc I can find to make a good video
Great video. How do you sync the server power supply with the atx supply?
The Server power supply comes with a sync cable depending on the Breakout board. Some breakout dont have sync so just turn on server PSU 1st then turn on the Primary PSU to boot motherboard
hi, thanks for the content
I can connect a server power with an Atx supply using Dual PSU Connector
I usually manually start my Server PSUs but some have breakout boards have a a remote on/off plug that can be powered by a primary ATX power supply (Believe its Molex)
Is it possible to connect more than 2 psus together using the adapter you showed in the video or 2 psu are the max number I can use in one rig ? Oh also fantastic video, thanks for putting everything about psus in one video and sharing it.
Thanks I really appreciate your compliment. I remember when I started building rigs there was a lot of information but it was scattered in different places- I was hoping that by doing a 1 bigger video that covered multiple Power supplies it would be more beneficial for everyone to see them side by side and and simplify their comparison and understanding of them all.
Honestly, I never connected more than 2 ATX PSUs with a Multi PSU Adapter. I have done 3 using an adapter and a Dummy Tet Plug for my 3rd and it was only on a test rig temporary situation Hmmm. now I'm curious, I will test it !
Yes you can connect more power supplies, even more than 3 if you want.
You say that server psus run more hot than atx ones, does that mean they dump more heat into the room per watt too?
Server PSU are very efficient generally but have small fans than run high speed to exhaust the heat. The GPUs generate the majority of the heat from a mining rig.
Hello
Thank you for your great video
I was wondering , Can I use the maximum amount on a Platinum Server PSU?
Say I have a 1200W Platinum HP server PSU , I have a 240Volt electricity , Can I use the full 1200W? Or should I stick to 80% rule and not use more than 960W?
I don't care about the noise on PSU fans.
Thanks
Hi, I'm not an electrician or pro, but It's my understanding you can use the full amount of the Server PSU wattage (I recall reading this on a post), but should still should stay to the 80 % rule of the electric circuit.
You should contact Parallel Miner about the PSU limit and consult an licensed electrician if you have questions about your circuit load, wiring, etc. to be safe.
@@CryptoMiningInsider Thanks a lot man
Yeah of course nothing you say can ever be considered any sort of "Advice" in anyway - specifically legal manner -
And I appreciate the input
Yeah what I've heard is also in line with exactly what you said
Thanks again
@@mohsenk1438 Welcome
what about use power supply pc for asic miner?? i think its safe miner for long time
I believe ASICS uses some of the same PSUs (or very similar). I don't own any ASICS (yet).
how do you switch atx and server psus in parallel in one rig
I generally just turn on server PSU 1st, then start the rig on an ATX, but the server PSUs have breakout boards that can accept a remote power source like Molex cable which can start it.
Is it safe if running parallel psu with different wattage? Like 1000 watt combine with 850 watt
I run dual PSU at different wattage using a 24pin adapter to switch them on / off together
One PSU will power the motherboard and maybe some GPU, the other PSU will only power more GPUs - the PSUs don't power the same devices.
I power each GPU and its riser usig the same PSU.
I'm not a pro PC / Rig builder so I can't answer if it's safe, just saying I do it and never had an issue.
I use a 1500 watt server psu. I pull 700 watt and its getting really hot. Is that normal ? Fan seems to spin at idle speed. How safe are breakout boards ?
I mostly use 1200 Watt models on 240 volt and they get very warm to tough when using at 75 % load or more - it gets basically to hot to touch. Contact the seller / manufacturer if you don't think its right or safe.
80+ gold is 90% efficiency or higher. Regular 80+(or white 80+) is 80% efficient. I think bronze is 85%+, silver is 88%+, platinum is 92%+. Those hp server power supplies are 94%!!! So good for so cheap!
Good Point - I love the HP Server PSUs too - great value, only issue I have is when I run them on 1200 Watts unit on 120 volts they only put out 900 watts and get noisy if you put them under load so I can't use them indoor living space under high load (Whistle / whining fans).
very nice video, I just bought one from PM.
Great - Curious Which one ?
1200w with the break out board
@@r2motorsport783 Great - There is 1 point I see was missing from video to know - the HP 1200 Watt Server Power gives 1200 Watts when its on 240 Volt, but 900 Watts when its plugged into 120 Volts.
Well OK I did not know that
@@r2motorsport783 The HP 1200 Watt Server PSU are one of my favorite Units.
They give only slightly less usable wattage than the 1300 Watt ATX Power Supplies when using 120 volt outlets (based on 80% rule) based on my research.
*** I'm not an electrician or Claim to be a Professional - Please do your on research ***
I think you’re the first person I’ve heard say you don’t have to use the 80% rule with a server power supply.
I added a comment to the video description clarifying the HP 1200 Watt gives 900 Watts when using 120 Volts and 1200 Watts when using 240 Volts.
As far as the 100 % Load...
See Parallel Miner website - it says in bold on the Page "Unlike standard ATX power supplies, server power supplies are designed to run 24/7 for years, even at 100% load."

Any thoughts on making a video on troubleshooting? I have a Windows 10 5 GPU mining rig that crashes efter 15-40 minutes. 1x3080Ti 283W, 1x3080 250W, 1x 3070Ti, 1x3060Ti 1x3060. I ran it on a used MB so first step was to test with new MB/CPU, same crashing, next suspected China no-name 2000W ATX mining PSU, changed to a quality PSU, same issue. Now awaiting new v011 GPU risers. Can you share any experience or insights with issues using cheap GPU risers?
I would start by looking in the Windows Event Logs to see if there is any info at the time of crash captured.
@@CryptoMiningInsider Thanks, I did that to no avail (I'm an old MCSE certified IT Pro). I have a second 5 GPU rig running next to it which is running very reliably 2x3070 (non LHR), 3x3060 LHR with a Corsair RM1000x PSU. It's running with another brand of GPU risers. I guess I could start swapping cards into the stable rig for troubleshooting but other than that I'm down with the GPU risers as the culprit so I thought I'd ask if you ever experienced any issues with cheap ones... Thanks for taking the time to respond, I'm very grateful 🙌🏻
@@carlnakamura4861 I recently have a MOBO issue on a PC that after 30 minutes - Froze Up (Couldn't even power down from switch). needed to Unplug, then it went down to 15 minites, then 10 minutes - I had BestBuy Total Tech so I gave it to them so they diagnosed and swapped MOBO I chose - Paid for MOBO, but no labor cost.
@@CryptoMiningInsider the stable rig is running an old left over Asus Z97 Pro MB with 6 PCIe slots old 4770K with 32GB DDR3 RAM (overkill but had it laying around). All GPU risers plugged directly into MB. The rig that keeps crashing after a while had an MSI Mate B250 with an i5 7600K and 8GB DDR4 RAM i picked up used for cheap 4 GPUs plugged into an 1-to-4 PCIe adapter plugged into the 16x PCIe1 slot and 1 GPU riser plugged directly into a MB PCIe 1x slot. I bought and swapped to a new H410 MB and i3 10105F CPU. As I'm typing I realize it could be the GPU risers but could also be the 1-to-4 PCIe adapter that is causing the crashes. Well I guess I'll be able to determine tomorrow when the new GPU risers arrive... I only have these two rigs as a hobby and not a big mining operation but it hurts to have had one of the ride unusable for weeks so if I would do it again I would invest in quality gear fit for purpose rather than spending time and money on trying to re-purpose and optimize old stuff.
Will let you know. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience 👍🏻
@@carlnakamura4861 Early on when I started mining I was buying some used items on Ebay to save cash, but after 1 or 2 things stopped working, I changed my strategy and buy new to avoid these types of headaches which are often more costly than just paying extra upfront but getting something reliable. Reliability is key to mining. Every minute rig a is down is lost revenue.
Good Luck and hope you get it back up quick !
10:54 he says its not to hot in the room and the temp is 82 degs lol
LOL, but its true its not as hot as it usually gets in there
