Title: [WTB] Power supply, Single rail design, 80PLUS Gold or better, 1200+ Watts
Post by: ssateneth on December 09, 2012, 10:00:41 AM
Looking to buy a Rosewill Lightning 1300W power supply, or other high-quality, single-rail, high-capacity 80PLUS Gold/Platinum/Titanium power supply, shipped to 54501 USA. Looking at about $150 shipped. This is pretty reasonable seeing as it was selling at newegg for about $160 after a promo code a little while ago, but didn't have a reason at that time to get one. Not-so-recently got the same model PSU from rjk for $160 shipped and was very happy with it, and need another one to replace/expand my little mining operation. Yup, still GPU mining after the reward halving.

Edit: I picked up an OCZ ZX 1250W for a scant $135 free ship from a major retailer Amazon a few weeks back. I'm very happy with it, but I could use another one or two. Still looking for about $150 each shipped to 54501, USA

Still looking for a power supply. A PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III 1200W is a very attractive option since it's 80PLUS PLATINUM, but a little out of reach as far as money goes.

I have a ABS III 1100 watt (80 Plus Gold) for BTC8.75 plus shipping.

I have 1200W Corsair PSUs (many). They are higher quality (therefore slightly costlier) than what you are asking for, but I can do 14.85 BTC per PSU shipped to your zip. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122187.0

I'm going to pass on the ABS. It had a "fail" grade when reviewed at HARDOCP (http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/01/22/abs_majesty_mj1100m_1100w_power_supply_review/1) and I would rather not fry my expensive video cards because of the awful DC output quality.
I did reply to mrb's thread about getting an AX1200 though. If it falls through though, I am -still- looking for a quality power supply.

Well there is a lot of controversy about that specific review but regardless, mine has been in service for 9 months without issues, I believe it was a build quality issue on some of the batches.  Newegg has a bunch of reviews you can read from many owners.   Either way, thank you for your consideration.

I needed a power supply -badly- so I just went looking around on the web. I settled on an OCZ ZX 1250W for $135 shipped from amazon (The 1KW version had good reviews from hardocp)

Another bump, interested in upgrading my heavily abused HALE90 750 watt PSU that's powering 7 GPU's. Got about 25 watts left of headroom on it; It's pulling 835 watts of power at 120 VAC, though I'm feeding it power from a dryer socket now. Multimeter shows 254 VAC last I checked, so it's probably in the neighborhood of 815 watts at the wall.

I have a 800gs corsair. Used for a month(running like half time). I ran 3 5970s, AMD A3500, and 4gb of ram. Draw was 800 watts at the wall.

5970s were undervolted at 1.000v and memory turned down. I found that with a good case fan I could lower my overall power draw.

I would take $100 for it plus shipping.

60+ amps via one rail.

Also have the board, cpu, and ram i could let go of as well.

Bumping again. In need of another power supply. I -had- bought 2 Rosewill Lightning 1300w from yochdog, but the postal service lost it.
