Hi, I wondered if there were any other / cheaper / better PSUs for Goldshell Mini Doge 2 please?
I recently purchased a new Goldshell Mini doge 2 from Goldshell, However I didn’t realise it didn’t come with a PSU… I Believe they are asking $199 for a PSU, which seems alot?
TIA,
Steve.
I’m all for cheap. The mini doge II is 400 watts. The 430 watts PSU for $30 (linked below) will work.
According to the Amazon link it has 2 PCI-e (6+2 Pin) . Take into account the +/- 5-7% draw of the miner (about 30 watts), and that’s the 430 watts on the PSU.
Here’s a link to an older post that has some good ideas/opinions on the topic.
I’m normally all for what u write your normally dead on and a wealth of knowledge but your off on this those wires are not good for mining most recommend a breakout board. I don’t trust them either your better of apw if u can deal with some noise. The computer psu can’t handle 24/7 they burn up within 6 months spend the extra money so house doesn’t burn down. BUT DO NOT USE THE GOLDSHELL PSU you will burn down house with that one
Hi,
One of my Chinese ASIC Suppliers recommended these:- Low noise PSU 750W power supply Suitable for ASIC BTC LTC DOGE miner Goldshell KD BOX ST BOX CK BOX HS BOX Mini Doge A9 Z9mini| | - AliExpress
I see them around quite abit, I don’t know what people think of them?
It’s to pricey, and the cables are soldered to it, so you wouldn’t be able to replace it. And I would not recommend those cables it comes with, as it increase the chance of the miner burning out.
So what I recommend is getting an hp power supply of eBay, 750 watt or 1200.
Then a breakout board that supports the wattage.
You connect them together, then add the wires you need.
I recommend either using
Or
If you don’t like this option, you can get a bitmain psu. Just remember look for a psu that can run on your voltage.
Ah okay, thanks.
I’m quite new to mining etc, so need to read up abit about breakout boards etc I think.
I kind of see what you are saying though… Would an HP PSU be fairly quiet?
I am kind of tempted by e.g. a Bitmain PSU. Unfortunately I currently don’t know the voltage output of their PSU for a Goldshell Mini Doge 2 Miner. I think the wattage is 400. I have asked them a couple of times about the output voltage with little joy… They have sent this across and told me the wires are 10 amp and Input is 110 - 240v. https://www.goldshell.com/minidogeⅱ/
Update:- The goldshell Mini Doge 2 requires 400w at 12v DC, and requires 2 x 6 pin PCI plugs 
Apw3 will work on 110 it’s bitmain but they can be little noisy and u won’t hurt miner or burn down house please do not use GOLDSHELL psu it won’t last and will destroy your asic
Yes, the APW3++ looks nice, I just wondered how noisy the fan was?
Also, what do people think of this PSU… It seems to have a fair output of 2600W and 10 * 5V DC PCI 6 pin plugs? Bitmain Antminer APW3 Power Supply PSU For S9 L3+ T9 NEW Condition UK 2600W | eBay)
Does it seem okay?
I’m in the UK, so 240v AC
