It runs fine for about 1 or so hours and then shuts off.

I have a friend who was using an RM850 to power a couple of BFL 60Gh units and he reported the same thing.


I had a similar problem with an older Zalman 1000W PSU that was running a pair of ASICMiner Blades and a few USB hubs - all 12v.  The Zalman would cut out after 30-60 minutes.  Turned out it needed some load on the 5v rail, so I hooked up a couple of fans to the 5V and it seemed to cure the issue.

In the end up I replaced the Zalman with a Corsair CX750 which runs fine with only a 12V load.  Been running 24/7 for about a month now.

Thanks! I'm using it to power a KNC Jupiter. The Jupiter requires a Molex connection in addition to the PCI-e connectors. I thought I plugged in the Molex to the 5v rail. Which seems like it should draw something???

Last night I plugged a 120mm fan into the Molex chain and set it on top of the power supply and it ran fine all night.

Check your power supply main cable and the cable to the motherboard. Make sure none of the socket is burned.

You didn't even read the OP, did you?  Roll Eyes

Hey All!

I have a Corsair RM850. It's powered on using the paper clip trick and it's drawing about 283 watts at the wall.

It runs fine for about 1 or so hours and then shuts off.

I have a friend who was using an RM850 to power a couple of BFL 60Gh units and he reported the same thing.

He put a fan blowing across the units and said it fixed the problem.

Has anyone else had this problem???

Cheers!
