Title: What to mine with EVGA G2 1600 PSU?
Post by: YabaDabaDoo on July 14, 2017, 03:53:32 PM
Hi everyone,

I have few PSU that I want to switch from using with Avalon 741 to start mining altcoins.  I have friends who bailed on me from hosting Avalon 741 (free electricity) and I want to see if I can find something else I can use the PSU for & mining.  I want something that's not as loud as Avalon 741 and that doesn't generate as much heat.

I hate to break it to you, but a PSU will not mine any coin by itself.

I'm not sure what's hard to understand from -

I have few PSU that I want to switch from using with Avalon 741 to start mining altcoins. 

Since I state I already have PSU & Bitcoin miners I am looking for alternatives coin miner recommendations to use 1600 watt PSU.

You can mine anything you want as long as you have a GPU mining rig or an ASIC that uses less than 1600W connected to your PSU.

Get a few RX 480s or GTX 1070s and mine ETH/Zcash.

That power supply might be enough for a 1TB hard drive running BURST.

Have the system with 8 GTX1070 on the same PSU. GPUs with downvolt, about 150W per card power consumption. Works fine enough
