I'd give a lot more to ck and kano. Just about every piece of ASIC hardware out there uses cgminer. That's for a reason.

divide by 0.92 to get a more accurate at-the-wall

I haven't found the ~0.9 divisor to be accurate. I used 0.9 to estimate running two SP20's off one EVGA 1600 G2. The ASIC Stats page showed ~620W each—and they ran, though one took a few tries to boot. Then I bought a Kill-A-Watt - and what I calculated (1240/0.9) to be 1378 at the wall, actually measured 1620 (120V). I now run 3 SP20's off of two 1600's and like the increased headroom, but have since been pairing new SP20's with 1300W G2's, which I find the best bang for the buck.

To get an accurate estimate you need to look at the loading estimate for the PSU, off of 120V on a higher load the efficiency will fade fast... I outfitted my house with some 240V circuits last year and run all of my PSUs off of those circuits, nets me over 10% in power savings..

Ah, so I might have had that 0.9 'efficiency' powering only one unit, but I lost efficiency as the load increased with the second SP20 - netting me closer to the rated 0.8? Got it, good to know, thank you!

No good PSU should drop down to 80% at full load. For something like the EVGA 1300W PSU, tests show it getting ~91% at 50% load and 87.5% at full load. 3.5 percentage points is still a decent drop, but nothing like 10%.

You're right, I looked up the 80 Plus spec, 80 Plus Gold is 90% @ 50% load, and 87% @ 100% on 115V. So the difference in wattage reported on the ASIC Stats page versus ATW is not PSU, or not solely, but a mix of PSU and miner 'other'? I'll have to do some more kill-a-watt testing...

Thanks again for the GB. Just grabbed another 4 units. Not sure where I'll stick them yet, but these last few days have shown me that these are quality units and the SP-T support folks really put forth an effort to help.

Quick question: When the ASIC tab shows its using 890 watts, do I need to divide that by .8 to get an approximation at the wall assuming 80% efficient PSU?

I don't know how it's doing it, but at stock with 2 Corsair HX850, one unit is running 1683 @ 890w. Seems pretty good to me and close enough to 1.7T.

No the PSU is only delivering 80% of what its pulling from the wall to give you 890Watts, its closer to 1120W at the wall

K, I figured I needed to to divide by .8 to get the wall pull. Just wanted to make sure.
