Title: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Airwhale on January 20, 2014, 09:42:34 PM Hey guys,
I'm looking for a good 1500w+ PSU to power mining rigs, both GPUs and ASICs. I'm looking for something that is dependable, sturdy, and efficent, and most importantly won't make itself or whatever it is connected to catch fire and burn the house down! I've seen the Enermax maxrevo, and I've actually been running one of those for a month in a rig without any problems, but that model has one too many bad reviews at newegg for me to trust buying another. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194106&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo) Any thoughts on models that people are happy with? Thanks! Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: crazyates on January 20, 2014, 09:44:31 PM 2x Rosewill Capstone 80Plus Gold 750W Modular. $110/each.
Or, a DPS-2000bb. In case you couldn't tell, I don't like paying out the ass for PSUs. Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Airwhale on January 20, 2014, 11:13:35 PM I've heard Rosewill PSUs have fluctuations in power when you are pushing a large amount of power through it. Are you able to achieve stable overclocks though it on GPUs? I've also always associated Rosewood as a lower quality/cheaper brand. How much experience do you have with it?
Do the more industrial IBM power supplies like the DPS-2000bb have PCI-E ports, or ways to put PCI-e extenders on them? I don't have any experience with their power supplies, but that seems like a great option. Anywhere I can read on how to adapt this to commercial electronics equipment? Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Gator-hex on January 20, 2014, 11:46:21 PM The Enermax Maxrevo/Platimax 1500 have 6 separate power rails, you wont be able to load more than 30A per wire. Because it forces you to spread the load over at least 6 cables, you probably wont melt them. They're up to 94% efficient, which is good for your power bill, but note it's really a 1200V PSU as it's 100A max over all 12V rails.
Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Airwhale on January 21, 2014, 12:10:26 AM Hmm, that is really interesting. So I'm reading it would be tight/ not recommended to support two over clocked antminers on a maxrevo (which requires 500w each spread over 2 pci-e connectors.)
Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Airwhale on January 21, 2014, 01:29:21 AM Actually, no, it would be fine, right? 30a*12v= 360w, and each slice of an ant only takes 255ish
Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: HDSolar on January 21, 2014, 03:00:09 AM Easy, EVGA 1500 units. BFL used them for a while and I have had them for many setups. Great units if you need that kind of power.
Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: Airwhale on January 21, 2014, 03:21:13 AM Yeah, That looks like what I am looking for. Thanks!
Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: bclcjunkie on January 21, 2014, 02:56:16 PM it will.. don't worry.. i have enermax and 2 oced ans run just fine... however some psu were able to support 3 oced ants so enermax is not the best 1500w category psu... perhaps you should try evga 1500w..

Great units if you need that kind of power. If them and the 1500w were not so dam hard to find. Title: Re: Good 1500w+ PSU Post by: novymivo on January 21, 2014, 04:45:03 PM lepa 1600 w
