I know this is a pretty common issue, but I am ordering multiple D3 Dash miners and want to make sure they are powered correctly.
So the D3 Dash miner takes 1200w power loaded. You don't want to use more than 80% load on any power component for safety. Which means that the minimum amount of power you would need from the PSU is 1500W.  On top of that there is the cabling issues - most PSU power supplies do not support having 10x 6pin Pci-Express power connected simultaneously. From the power requirements of the miners, each 6pin is required to provide 133ish watts to the blade. This means that a standard molex-to-6pin splitter would not be enough given that it provides a maximum of 132 watts and that is almost 100% of the total power load for that connector. Am I thinking about this correctly? I just want to make sure I don't blow up my miners or my house.
