Finksy, I've got 2 2880 PSUs powering 3 S7s. Originally I thought I would put one complete S7 on each PSU, then split the third one across the PSUs.
In the end I put one S7 one one PSU and 2 S7s on the other. I figured that two S7s on a single 2880 PSU only take up 80%, so that seemed reasonable. Also this configuration is simpler to keep track of in case I ever need to power cycle the PSUs from the PDUs (this is all deployed at a data center).
Of course one PSU is underburdened, but them's the breaks. I don't have enough physical space to add another S7.
Another potential drawback is that the 2 new S7s that are on a single PSU are both very strong performers. They are candidates for overclocking, but then they're eating into that 20% headroom.
Does the above configuration make sense to you, or are there tangible benefits to splitting the third S7 across the two PSUs?
I would split the 3rd S7 across the two PSU's, as you'll be moving the lower PSU into the efficiency sweet spot of 60-80% load, unless having to power cycle them remotely is something you are concerned with having to do (since you're dealing w/ hosting at a DC)
just a weekend there, we will probably see new batches on Monday or even sunday pm.
If bw will really produce something in winter time, BMT will be pressed to accelerate the 14/16nm rollout.
Only if the 14/16nm performance and pricing beats BMT's 28nm offering. If BMT was really wanting to chase 14/16nm tech they would have, but instead they took the wise road and get something to market with impressive efficiency before anyone else.
