And what are you powering with the supply now? Still the s1 or now an s7 or s9? Please do remember that the HP 1200 CS server supply is derated to 800w when fed 110vac.

The early s7's pull around 1,100-1250w at stock speeds which is at the limit of the HP's fed 220v and powering an s9 with one even if fed 220v is out of the question.

I don't really understand what you're going on about. Asics use electricity, servers use electricity, computers in general use electricity. The main point is that if you have a 1000w computer you don't buy a 1000w psu, you buy a 1200-1400w psu so you are not putting the psu under too much strain. You overcompensate for your needs to avoid premature failures and unsafe scenarios.


I was using a HP 1200 for an old Antimer S1.   The only possible abuse that it might have got is that it was on a wood surface and probably should have been on a grill or had more bottom surface exposed to air circulation.

I was just reading this thread and I was wonder if ASICS can be hard on power supplies.

Server is Killing Power Supplies
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29071814-Server-is-Killing-Power-Supplies

According to a guy who sells HP 1200 revamped for six pin outlets for Antiminers, it could be something
else besides the power supplies that is creating the problem of dying power supplies.
