oh really?

it's correct, it says on the box of belkin itself

i'm from malaysia, i bought this for MYR129, about USD31,   Undecided

i'm afraid because i found on the various forums saying should look at joules, should look at amps, but none of them stressing out on looking at the watt itself
so i'm very confused now.. Huh

There are two aspects of the surge protector you have. The first is its function as a surge protector, which is described by its ability to protect the connected devices from a surge (and perhaps other irregularities at the wall). The Joules rating will tell you about the energy it can dissipate before failing.

The second is its function as a power strip. For example, if you took any old power strip and tried plugging several powerful vacuums into it, you'd probably run into problems. (Well, you might also have problems with the circuit breaker, but that's beside the point.)
The watt rating tells you where the cutoff is. (Usually keep the actual below about 70-80% of that, if you want to be safe.)

The Belkin surge protector should be able to handle both of your power supplies, assuming the rating is correct.

If you added more GPUs, you might cut it close depending on which you select. If you stick with 1070s, you'd be fine. If you go with 1080tis, you'd be going too far. However, at this time, you can only utilize all 19 slots if you have 6 P106 dedicated mining cards.

first of all i'm sorry if this topic is in the wrong place, i dont know where to start, i'm a newbie

Situation: i have a BELKIN surge protector. it says

250V/13A/50Hz/3250W

max energy dissipation
918 Joules

max spike current
36000 amps

max spike voltage
1.2KV

i want some help from the gurus here, to tell me, can i use this to mine ETH with

12 unit of MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X

with a support of 2 PSU, both masterwatt maker 1500w, powering 6 GPU each, I have an asus b250 mining expert, i3 7100, 8gb ram trident z gskill, wd black 2.5 inch 1TB

i just happened to have all of these now, so i planned to just use these for a while..

can my BELKIN handle 12 GPU with these 2 power supplies? if i want to add another 7 gpu to fill up my mobo in the future, can my BELKIN still handle it?

(most miners say gtx 1070 only use 130W average, decreasing the power limit using MSI Afterburner)
