Title: What's an ordinary power draw from a Saturn?
Post by: faizaa123 on December 13, 2013, 05:32:32 AM
My Saturn is pulling 475W from the wall.  my 600w psu seems to be fine, but i am getting a little bit worried.

it's hashing @ 330GH/s... what kind of power/rates is typical for a november saturn?

I didn't measure mine sorry....running a Coolermaster V850 because that's what they used for hosting.

Based on hash rate and temps I would say it isn't pulling excessive amps.

My modules are running 48C and 58C and I'm hashing 284.5gh stable since Oct 18th.

Edit: Sorry mine is an October Saturn.

hmmm, interesting.  did not know they were using the coolermasters.  maybe i'll switch mine just to be on the safe side.
thanks so much for that info!

Of course it depends on the firmware one is running but my Merc was drawing 140 watts at the wall I think but I upgraded with a second supply and a single module and that add-on module is less efficient so the end result is now (looks at the kill-a-watt) 361-362watts with two non-computer switching supplies and a BBB wall wart.
