Title: KNC Miner - Mercury device - which PSU are you guys planning to use? Post by: lateblooming on August 29, 2013, 02:20:51 PM They say it needs 250W...but do you guys prefer a 400-500W PSU or should a 300W PSU really be enough?
Thanks i.A. for any thoughts/suggestions! Title: Re: KNC Miner - Mercury device - which PSU are you guys planning to use? Post by: ASIC-K on August 29, 2013, 02:28:46 PM they just said yesterday that they recommend a 400 watt psu for mercury.

Thanks for the Info! @Bitcoinorama Do I need a PC/Motherborad for that device?? I thought a PSU would be it to get that device running...maybe plug in to a PC via USB for modulate/tune something...but thought its a standalone device? Or maybe my english was to bad to understand what you are saying ;-) Title: Re: KNC Miner - Mercury device - which PSU are you guys planning to use?
