already got a 500w power supply.
btw one thing I forgot to mention is that those numbers were taken from the energy meter. GPU-Z is showing about 30-40w less for each card. which of these is right when measuring power for the PSU?
Topic: 930~960w on 1000w psu. safe or not? - page 3. (Read 1665 times)
If you are gonna be running for a short time than its ok which you probally won't be doing since you are running 24/7 and so in that case its better to reduce the load to around 80% -this is the sweet spot - beccasue no one wants to see that one say their psu is dead , its better to,run a little less at stable the run more at a risk.
Ignore all the naysayers, a 1000W PSU is BUILT to be run AT 1000W Output
Standard ATX type power supplies are NOT designed or built for 24/7 operation at full output.
Even the GOOD ones.
"SERVER" specific power supplies are a different story, as the units they are designed to go in NORMALLY are operated 24/7.
no buy ONE and make it a 12-1300. Always better to use one.
Or you can simply buy one 650/750W psu and "bridge it" 
it will still do the work
it will still do the work 
If you wanted to run your mining safely better to buy much higher watts.. around 1200w to 1400w is ok and you mining are safe ... i couldn't tell if you had PSU of 1000w and running 930-960w it will be still depends in your PSu if your PSU was good in condition maybe it can handle 930-960w better to check if your PSU is really too hot so you know if better to use more than 1000w to run in safemode..
No.
Get a 1200w PSU minimum.
Unless ofcourse you want lower lifespan on all of your hardware and PSU. And constant crashes/reboots.
Don't listen to metroid he's a mega troll.
hehe.
And i though thats real. Get a 1200w PSU minimum.

Yes very safe, a 1000w psu maximum output within the computer is 1000w which is 1100w at wall. So if you are using 960w at wall then that means 87% of total power the psu can handle.
So 80% from what we got from wall is safe? Kind like for 1000w psu for 880w on wall?

That is defo not safe, it is better to underrun equipment that overrun it, once you have seen PSUs of any sorts explode / go on fire, you will learn to respect these capacitored filled beast, also, some can even go on fire... It is also worth paying for good hardware, especially PSUs, not only are they tested for electrical frequencies, and balanced, but also are efficient and safer that cheap, no names..
I did it for more than 6 months on a shitty old cooler master silver psu with no failures, but that doesn't mean its a good idea.
Only psu I've ever had burn on me is a thermaltake, and that was a 750w running at 300w

It is better to use picopsu or low-power (350W) ATX power supply connected to the main power supply through the synchronizer.
Of course the more links in the chain the more chance of problems. But it's better than using Your power supply at over 90%.

I use corsair 750w 80+ and max 500w of them ..7/24 ..I hope they live 2 years..
PSU is EVGA 1000GQ. running 24/7.
Ignore all the naysayers, a 1000W PSU is BUILT to be run AT 1000W Output and the warranty covers any failures - most PSUs that high end come with 5+ years of warranty.
What you measure as 930-960 is at the wall or INPUT, so the output is most likely 930x0.9 or~840W - a perfectly safe number.
There are ofcource some other considerations like temperature (most PSU ratings are at 45-50C) and the input voltage - on 110v most PSU's get like 80% of peak rated power output. SO if youre running on 110v or in a very hot room with no cooling, better get a 1200-1300W PSU, otherwise a 1000W is just fine.
For mining not safe at all. But lots depend of quality of you psu and temperature in that room where is mine.
With 930-960 power consumption you must go to 1200w psu, and try to go on platinum.

always better to be safe, no one wants a fire 
alright. guess I'll go take off one gpu and get an extra psu. 
not safe at all, we operate between 70-75% load 80% max.
pretty not
