Title: How many R4s can I run on an APW3 running 220? Post by: Entropize on January 19, 2017, 02:14:13 AM I just ordered some R4s and I have an APW3 on a 220 outlet, can I run 2 R4s on that one power supply?
I have a couple of APW3s so is running one power supply for each R4 better? Should I just bite the bullet and get an APW5? Title: Re: How many R4s can I run on an APW3 running 220?

Title: Re: How many R4s can I run on an APW3 running 220? Post by: Finksy on January 19, 2017, 05:52:07 AM IBM 2880W is not suitable for home due to noise. DPS-4K is overkill for 2 units, but leaves room for expansion if you wanted to go that route. Economically speaking it's a toss-up (in comparison to APW5), but there's nothing wrong with Bitmain's PSU's. If you have APW3's use them!
