I just bought some used X3's.  I am using 1300w Gold PSU's.  You might be able to get away with 1200w, but these are a good deal right now.

I would recommend using bfgminer rather than the cgminer download posted on the Zeus Manual page.  Got a lot of errors with cgminer.  BFGminer has been very smooth.

Swimmer63 answered my q.  Thank you much sir, a true asset to the forum


worked out that the following bat file works awesome

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://host:port -u user -p pass --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1 --set zus:chips=16 --set zus:freq=328 -d zus -S zus:\\.\COM3
pause

COM3 needs to change to whatever com port it installed too. This miner is running on a 1200w gold siliverstone.
