Title: Power usage - dual mining ETH/DCR Post by: PcChip on May 16, 2017, 03:43:09 AM Please tell me if I'm getting good efficiency:
I'm using two PSU's, one is titanium and one is just "80plus" (Corsair ax1200i , old Corsair tx850w) four 480's, two 470's I'm getting these speeds with 1180W at the wall: https://i.imgur.com/2hJ2b3d.png is that decent or do I need to swap out that old PSU?

The 850 has a review on jonnyguru.com It does 82% to 84 % So what is it running on the setup? If it runs the mobo and the CPU it is not using much power. But if it is doing that and a gpu it is using maybe 300 of the 1180 watts. Which means a loss of 30 watts.
