would this suffice for an antminer s1? it says it needs 360w and 6pin pcie(i ordered the molex to 6pin)

If that is all you are running but my advise is to total everything else if there is other things that will run along with your antminer it has 480w

Yes. I use a single instance of cgminer v3.9 with multiple USB blocks that include antminer u1s, bpmc red furys, and block eruptors.

The instructions say that a 450W power supply is the minimum required. My power supply has 650W, so it's never been an issue. As for compatibility with the Dell motherboard, I would be quite surprised if that was an issue. It fits into a PCI slot, which seems pretty standard these days. It also requires supplementary power from a PCI-E connector, but an adaptor is included that allows you to get that power from standard MOLEX power connectors -- the kind used to power hard drives before SATA came along. By the way, I've been quite happy with this card!

Do a very quick google search with the words "antminer setup guide" and the very first link it gives you will walk you through the setup process. I hate to say it but mining is not meant for people without at least a basic background knowledge in computers.

for a single card they recommend a 500 watt power supply, so if your running 1 you should be fine.

bfgminer (all your other setup options here) -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=xCODE ...and substitute "CODE" above with one of the following 4-digit hex codes. See key below:0981 = 2.0GH/s0A01 = 2.1GH/s0A81 = 2.2GH/s0B01 = 2.3GH/s0B81 = 2.4GH/s

Hey man, the best advice I can give is go to pcpicker dot com and "build" your computer within the website. It should tell ya if 300W is enough. :) That is what I did when building my computer!

They should be the same, both have ~330MHash/s and I cant see the difference, except that the other is 2x the price ... I have mine working for about 14 days now and works great....

It does run as a stand alone, but will require a computer to set up first. I use MultiMiner for other miners, but it will display the S1's status. As far as noise level, I bought replacement fans that were higher flow and low noise. I'm overclocking mine so I use two fans. One fan should be fine if you're not overclocking yours.

depends on how cheap your PSU is. If you buy a good brand you should be fine. I prefer Antec.

Yes. Ensure that at least one pci-e slot is available for the fan card when connected to the molex cable.

I already have a wallet and use BTCDig; So all I need is this USB to start Mining? What is a recommended fan?

Will it support it; Yes. Also under full PC load you will be around 500-550w (the cards alone pull 400w together). This will put you right in the efficiency "sweet spot" (92% at 120v). Looking at the graph you can see efficiency starts to decline over 50% psu load. Your idle load will drop below the efficiency "sweet spot" but only by 2%.

You will need multiple power supplies on two home power circuits. Most home circuits cannot handle one massive PS (1800+ watts) for 6 cards. Figure 300 watts per card x the number of cards (when mining). Most suggest a 750+ PS with at least a 60 amp 12 volt rail to support two cards running non-stop. If you want to support more than two cards per PS, then choose a 1K or above PS for the 290(x) but I wouldn't recommend &gt;3 cards for a 1200 watt PS. To use multiple PS with one mining rig use a PS splicer (sold on Amazon) or use g00gle and search for "using multiple PS in one computer". There are free methods to start up PS without an adapter.

I am using an Antec 600 watt now with no issues at all. Be advise this card needs Vsync enable to avoid screen tearing during video playback.

I own two of these cards. They have an 8 pin and a 6 pin for the molex connectors. Does this answer your question? If not let me know.

No, I would recommend at least a high efficiency 450 or 500 Watt, it may power up but you can damage the card with not providing it enough power or damage your mother board. You may find some calculator that says other wise but I wouldn't risk it. (I burned up this same card and ruined my mother board pcie slot, not for running to little power but my power supply shorted giving unstable power, to little power would be unstable.
