1300 watts seems a bit light to me when you consdier that many say you should calculate at 90% wattage availability. So 1300* .90 = 1170 watts.
Also, the advantage of using 3 smaller PSUs is you can use three different circuits as many of us don't have the capacity to run a large PSU on one circuit.
15 amp 110 is the DEFAULT, that's good for up to a 1600 watt PS based on what companies are actually making.
Also, the "1210 watt" figure Bitmain quotes is AT THE WALL with a 93% efficiency PS.
The actual draw FROM the PS should be about 1125 watts - the EVGA commonly used should have about 15% in reserve, the X1250s I use would have a bit over 10%.
I wonder why no Canuck has set up a huge farm near James bay in Quebec.
I'm presuming that's a reference to cheap hydropower
Perhaps someone has done so but just doesn't choose to advertise?
IIRC some of the Chinese farm locations I've seen mentioned are in "near the Himalayas" areas, those would tend to stay pretty cool most of the time.
I bought 0.5w/GH hardware for 1BTC/TH over 6 months ago
You got S5s for around $250?
MUST be nice to have had the money to take advantage of the price war back then.
(yeah, I know BTC had a small roller-coaster ride this year though mostly down).
Hint - BTC pricing changed since then, 2 weeks ago you couldn't find ANY .5W/GH machine much under about 1.5BTC per TH unless you got VERY lucky and a lot of them were running very close to 2 BTC/TH even USED.
Also, Spondoolies got out of the market entirely so Bitmain lost pretty much any competition on new units (unless you wanted low-efficiency stuff like Avalon 4.x).
