What is a good PSU for this unit?
Hello Darthswan and Happy New Year.
I'm a little hungover, but bear with me.
A good PSU for an AntMiner @ 350 MHZ (stock clock) would be a Gold or Platinum 750w to 850W PSU. The lowest I personally now go is 600-650w.
AntMiners @ 350MHZ pull 360-400 watts and 400w/800w = 50% of load on a PSU, which is when a PSU is most efficient.
If you overclock your AntMiner to say 400mhz, your PSU will pull 460-600 Watts at the wall. This variance depends greatly on the PSU you use.
AntMiners @ 400MHZ -> 200-205GH/s --> 520watt/1000watt = 52% load.
Gold PSU are about ~91% efficient @ 50% load.
Platinum are about ~92-93% efficient @ 50% load.
Bronze PSU is usually below 80% efficiency even though they may say 85% efficient (on 125V Circuit).
PSU below 80% rating will pull less than 75% efficiency scores.
Hope this Helps.
anyways there are lots of different psu's but most gold and platinum psu's has still 90% efficiency when they are at 80/90% load(if you use 230v outlet)
The best psu to get are the Corsair ax serie, Seasonic(the platinum series) ,the EVGA 1300 g2 and the Lepa G1600(which is really hard to get in Europe)
