Topic: New Mining Rig Build Review (Read 525 times)
The supplies seem to have ok reviews and the spec seems decent enough, I wouldn't use them personally but you could definitely do worse. Still seem suspiciously cheap to me. I'm going to take a punt and say they probably aren't made by Enermax and are probably OEM supplies using the name.
I am building a quad 7950 setup too and got mostly that same hardware setup, I would go with a better psu for sure. I did a seasonic gold plus, but that was almost as much as one of the cards.
Even for $50 more than your projected cost you can get a decent 1000w single psu

Sounds like a really cheap power supply to me, I know Enermax are a decent brand but those sound like budget supplies which are the last thing I want in a device running 24/7 with expensive gpu's. Do you have a link to the power supplies you are looking at?

This super cheap build.. I am going to back the super cheap power supply with a UPS just to ensure the power is clean.
