No, the PSU does not have a 1250 limit. The SP3X programming imposes limits, which can be overridden. The override voids the warranty though, if the supply voltage drops below 218V and the PSU is stressed over the acceptable limits.
You might be interested in the best efficiency .. but not everyone is. "free electricity" locations, and/or hosted environments care more about mining stability than performance. If you can make the unit run stable at top output .. there's the setting some other people might be interested in.
okay I read the spec sheet very carefully and I have run plenty of psu's past spec's but as I read the spec sheet from the psu company if you run 1250 watts draw you are exceeding the psu's warranty limits.
Now this means in order to run to the max gh on the sp31 you must be voiding the psu's warranty numbers.
to me spondoolies advertisment for the sp31 is not clear enough for overclocker's.
now I am using this pdf as my guide
https://www.artesyn.com/power/assets/ds1200_ds_1219707774.pdfand it looks like this is the psu in the sp31.
i get that I can go beyond its rating. I just think that the spondoolies advert is not clear enough to say doing that is like speeding down a highway far beyond the posted speed limits.
Personally I am only going to buy sp20's I am at the game of max efficiency .
If you have a farm with good cooling and want to run the gear beyond spec I am fine with that.
I just think the add makes you think you can get 4.7 th or more within the psu's spec's . I would like to see if anyone is running their machine at 4.7th and 2300 watts or even 2400 watts. or if you can show me where in the pdf it reads that these psus can do 1250 watts 24/7/365
I read 12 volts 100 amps max out put so 2 are 2400watts max rating or 1200 each.
So while you may crank the fuck out of the sp31 and pull 2600 watts and get your 4.7th you have voided the psu warranty. to do it.
That's a generic datasheet, and you don't have the one for the PSU version the units are shipped with.
The PSU's shipped from the SPT have special firmware, and were a custom batch of DS1200-3-002. Please find the correct datasheet for reference. When you power the unit at 220V 50Hz, the PSU limits are different than when you power it at 110V 60Hz. Higher voltage means generally less heat .. I was reading here repeatedly that 1360W output when the unit is powered at 220V+ is the spec limit.
The SP3x units have a self-adjusting mechanism, not present in SP20. That is because the software in the SP3x unit "talks" with the PSU and changes parameters at run-time. The override, lets those parameters be changed irrespective of the PSU supply voltage, which may drive the unit outside the spec'd ranges. With your SP20, the power supply is "dumb" and there's no serial communication between the PSU and the unit. That means, that your power supply does not adapt to the required power draw like the Emerson/Murata does in a SP3x.
Moreover, the product was initial designed and tested for Israel/Europe power supply voltages and spec'd as such (where ~220V is common). You're looking at the unit from the situation you're in, using 110V in the average north american household. Hence, the situation is different and maybe that's why (i guess) it is not clear enough for you.
