I've got a Corsair CX600M that worked flawlessly with a single S1. Now I drive 2 S1 off a single Corsair HX1050 with plenty of power. My S1s are over clocked.

PS - don't start!!!! Grin

+1 for Corsair CX600M

I've got exactly the same model, and it works well for me too. AUD$118 from ebay with free shipping.

I think I'm seeing a trend here.

Hey BTCTalk!

I need help choosing a PSU to work alone, meaning, 1 miner, 1 PSU. If history taught me one thing is that it's always the best way and I like to do things the right way, the best way, from the get go, so it leaves nothing on the table. To me, the PSU is as much an investment as the mining machine itself. Well, there like a million PSU's out there and I'd like to buy in BitCoin but I find it hard to find sites to buy computer and mining related stuff you can buy with BitCoin. I would be bound to believe that every computer and nerdy type store would take BitCoin but alas...

I guess a drawback of being a pioneer. I been reading this site for long but never needed to comment nor ask anything but looks like miners in this industry are very similar to miners in the Gold industry in which I also have mining assets.

I'd like suggestions and like anything, I want to get the best bang for my buck. I value reliability and durability above all.

I have my eye on a few but I'd also like to avoid the gross retail markup. So far, I found this to be the best bang for my buck:

CoolMaster S80 PLUS Gold RS550 PSU

I think it's a good deal right now and it's single rail from what I read... which one single S1 will run will run on one of those right? It puts out 550 Watts but I don't know the company CoolMaster; first thing that comes to mind is MasterCraft - CanadianTire mid quality crap. Or well, on paper it should but I'd like to hear out if anyone used those for one single S1. If someone can save me the headache by either saying, that it works well for them or to run in the opposite direction then it could look like I could have a decent source for those because the deal is half decent and they seem quite mass produced.

I know this PSU debate is never ending... computers are my thing and I have this OCD called perfectionism... lol

Thanks in advance for insight and advice in advance. Please, no "don't even start" crap, it's fair to say everyone in this site was probably told that at some point lol. I have time and I'm not money hungry either, I'm a professional war gamer and developer, BitCoin to me is the easiest game I ever played... It just happens to pay a lot better than any other game I pay to play. I also happen to live in a cheap energy nation. Lucky me eh, so why not.

Peace out!
