Why is a 1200w not recommended on 3 if it is running at 90% load?

It depends on how efficiently you want to run your PSU. PSUs are most efficient at lower than rated load.

I have a LEPA 1200W PSU, do you guys think three A3 batch 4 will work on one of these units? Is anyone running 3 off a 1000W or 1200W? Would like to hear about it if you are....

You want to run your PSU at below 90% load or 1080 watt. 3 S3s will require 1098 at a minimum. So, 3 S3s can be run with a 1200 W PSU but not recommended.

Why is a 1200w not recommended on 3 if it is running at 90% load?

I have 3 running on a corsair 1200i.  Pulls 1050 from the wall.  Runs great. A high quality 1200w can run 3 S3s NO PROBLEM!

Mine has also expired even with 8 confirmations.

BitMaintech.com  what is going on?  Are you going to refund all the payments your system is failing to acknowledge now that the orders have been automatically canceled?
Yeah, I had 9 confirmations at the time it "Expired"

You guys all need to chill out - everything always gets sorted out. These guys are getting hundreds of orders coming in and have to confirm/verify everything. Let them do their job.  Wink
I'm sure they will make it right, but if I miss batch 4 I'd be pissed.

Further edit.

It is now:
Paid
Unshipped
Expired

Even further edit:
I now have payment confirmation Email, with it still showing expired.

Hi,

Is anyone able to help me out?  I purchased 2 of the S3's and bought the Enermax Triatholor ECO 550W 80 Plus Bronze PSU (one for each S3).  It says the DC output is +12V 42A 504W.  I hooked one PCI-e connector to one side of the machine and hooked up another PCI-e to the opposite side using only two of the four connections.  The machine never reaches over 330 - 340 GH/s.  Do I need to overclock this machine to reach the 478 GH/s, or do I need to buy a bigger PSU, or both?  If I need a bigger PSU which is recommended?



please post your miner status page

I have updated the info to the latest network difficulty.  I will be reducing the expected network difficulty in the future to 10% from the present 20%.
