BTC - 37 - D37 -S37 Power supply choices and connecting tutorial - Server PSU - PC PSU

[@webguy125]

Thanks for creating these videos very helpful. I would like to point out one thing not mentioned about the HP server power supply. I did some research the 1200W is only available to people who are running at 220-240v. This makes sense since the servers that the power supply was made for are found mostly in data centers where 220-240v is readable available. For people in the USA running these from home on the standard 110-120v they will only be able to reach a max of 900W. If you pause the video at 10:19 you will see the voltage and wattage specifications clearly written. They are as follows: 100v: 800W 110-120v: 900W 220-240v 1200W As I said your videos are very helpful, and I am definitely going to buy one.

[@hobbylounge7960]

Great insight, well spotted, thanks very much and I will mention it in my next video

[@cgooch_]

240 in the US simply requires a 2 pole breaker and a proper outlet. Easy fix.

My set has arrived today. It has the BTC-S37 motherboard + big steel case (chassis), 256gb ssd with win10, 8gb ram, 2000w power supply, 3 case fans. I tested it briefly today and plugged in a wifi dongle, which worked immediately! The power supply is very noisy though, so I will swap it out for something around 1200watts. This week I've bought 7 gpus for it. 4x 1070, 2x 1080, 1x 1080Ti, all used for gaming but never used for mining. I'm excited to start mining with the rig but It will take me another week to get a smaller power supply... anyway, thanks for your videos. You have given me so much helpful information.

[@hobbylounge7960]

That sounds great, very nice setup, just get a wall power meter before buying smaller psu and check how much power all those cards will pull. Nice one. Thanks

[@thequietkiwi]

@@hobbylounge7960 Ya, I bought one of those. The main thing where I live is keeping the noise down. I might only be able to run 5 or 6 card in that rig but I can fit some in another pc. I have 30 roommates I don't want to upset :)

@@CabroAR i had it setup where i ran each slot powered by a single psu. those pci connections on the mobo each need power when you have a gpu installed in it. then each gpu needs its own dedicated power. for me, my gpus total power usage was less then 1600w and i had enough pci on the psu to run them all on the single power supply. then i powered each of the mobo's pci connectors from another psu.

@@CabroAR basically you need 35-40w per mobo pci express connection that has a gpu installed. you need to know a lot more then just which pci express connector needs power but whether or not you need to split the differences based on max wattage of your gpu. its a lot more complicated.

Bit of a noob question. If using risers, does the motherboard only need just the one power connection to slot one to power the board, then power each riser and graphics card, or does it need power to every six pin slot on the mother board plus the riser and card connected to that slot?

HI There. On the BTC-S37 motherboard there is a "STBLED" light. Do you have any idea what that light means?

I took all the cards off and it's still making the noise, and the light is on even with the board not powered on. I have tried googling my ass off, but can't find ANYTHING about the STBLED light. edit: I think it means STANDBY, which means it has power but it's not powered on. When I power it on, the fans spin, but it beeps at me 15 times, then a quick pause, and then 8 more times.

Hi, it's in the description. Thanks

[@oilarea8788]

ask to be sure S37 or D37, if using Psu server or Psu PC, just plug in the 6 pin - 8 pin power supply of the graphics card and the 6 pin power supply on the board and it will turn on right?

[@hobbylounge7960]

Hi, yes, just plug in one 6pin to mobo plus whatever for gpu and it will run on those 2 mobos, t37 needs 24 plugged in. Also if you using pc psu you need to short pins in 24 pin cable, only for 2 you asked about. Thanks

Hay man great to see some content on these motherboards , good job! Have you tried running windows 10 on the motherboard yet?

[@hobbylounge7960]

Hi, thanks, and no I didn't run win on it, but couple of subscribers did and it works but eats RAM, try HiveOs, it's really great

[@tiico1996]

It runs perfectly. This motherboard problem is that these pci-e x16 are “fake”. They’re actually pci-e x1

I have read your comments and you said 3060 will not work on it .. is that the normal 3060 or do you even now that the ti will work on the board?

You obviously didn't read them all, and certainly didn't watch all my videos, since I own 3060Ti and showing it in my videos hashing at 63MH/s, 3060 non Ti will hash at half speed

Hi, not sure my friend

[@deletd7368]

Does the xfx pro 750w work of the s37?

[@hobbylounge7960]

It will but you have to short the 24pin, as I showed in hardware setup, and you'll probably be able to run two cards, because you'll need 2 6 pin to power the board, unless you'll do some extra cable convertors

[@martinthomann75]

Does anyone know why I can't plug in more than 6 X 3060? From the 7 card the CPU fan turns on for 1 second and then it's dark. Do I have to change something in the bios? I have not found anything. As a power supply I have a Bitmain APW3 with 1600w. That should be enough power.

[@thequietkiwi]

Not enough power. You shouldn't load a psu up anywhere near the rating.

[@daitran4533]

Great videos you have on mining topics! I'm trying to figure out how I can combine 2x 650W modular ATX PSU to run 4x 3060 ti on a BTC S37 mobo as the S37 uses 6pin for power and not 24pin. Not sure if this was covered in the video.

[@hobbylounge7960]

Hi, in the hardware setup video I think I show what pins you need to short in 24pin, but for two psus you would special cable that combines 2 24 pins into one, you should find it with a bit of google, I think then you just short the pins in that 1 24pin connector, but can't be sure as didn't try it.

Is the server psu noisy?

[@hobbylounge7960]

Hi, yes it is a bit noisy, it has very small fan so it has to work hard if you load up loads of cards and if you have high ambient temp, putting it on some kind of damper helps and if you have high ambient the cards are noisy too so it kinda blends in :)
