K guys.... finally got it working.... well, finally got around to properly testing it.

My buddy Tiger was able to get a good deal on these power supplies, and they are 100-140/180-250v compatible.  He left me a free sample to play with.  I see them on ebay for as low as $40 shipped OBO.

Supermicro PWS-1K41P-1R: 80 Plus Gold rated.

In 110V mode they supply 1100W(92A of +12V)
In 220V mode they supply 1400W(116A of +12V)

Looking at the top of the edge connector in the back, the large rail on the right is +12V.  The large rail on the right underside is GND.

If you bridge GND to the pin on the left edge connector that is "cut short" at the end (it stands out from ALL the rest, trust me)...  It will power on the +12V rail.

I think ill be using these on my personal miners from now on.

I am having trouble sourcing board-edge connectors (like block erupters I think, but with small pin spacing) to make an adaptor card to plug into this supply.   I could just hack some PCIE cables and whatnot and solder to the edge connector, but I'd like something that takes a little less time to assemble.  If I had to compare this card edge connector to anything, it's closest to looking like a PCIE slot.  It's a 44 pin double sided connector.


Any thoughts?

exactly;  I need to source those connectors....


Even if that module is bought for $40;  its still a cheaper power supply than off the shelf for the wattage and rating....   I may snatch one of those up to remove the silver rated coolmax 1600w supply in my rackminer and replace it with this one.  I dont think Ill ever put 1600W on this supply ever;  The miners will usually stay >1000W when I build them for versatility sake.

Yeah, I figured i would ever only need to use one PSU;  and my original idea was to populate a connector with a MB power connector and a handfull of PCIE pairs as pigtails.

These power supplies are extremely compact for the power delivery.  Me likey.

I just need to see if there's a nice way to secure it all in a chassis in a not-so-ghetto way.

find the pdf for your model to find out since it is different than this one I am talking about:

My Model:
Supermicro PWS-1K41P-1R: https://store.supermicro.com/1200w-1u-pws-1k41p-1r.html

Your Model:
PWS-1K41F-1R: https://store.supermicro.com/1400w-1u-pws-1k41f-1r.html

They have completely different connections.


No need to pm me and send a message in this thread.... one or the other buddy =)
