Hello.

I bought a bfl single sc (60ghs) on ebay for 25$.
althought it will take some time till i get the money back, which isn't important for me because i just want to mine for fun.
well, it comes without the psu. so i want to ask which atx psu i should get.
i dont think to expand it. but the main probleme i have is, that the original psu has an output of 13v instead of 12v of an atx psu.
will it still be ok? and which min. wattage should i get then? or simply search for an original psu from ebay?
thanks :3

anything > 350w and you will have some headroom.

however... the BFL singles are no longer profitable, I understand that you are mining for fun so it's OK, but you will be spending more on electricity than the box will mine. Unless, of course, BTC price takes a jump.

ok thanks :)

no worries, i still have 2 running here at home, winter is coming in and these space heaters were pretty well designed to be no-hassle miners.
I actually run mine using an EVGA 1600 80+ which may seem a bit excessive, but while I wait for my SP20 to arrive, i might as well put it to use! lol

normally I just run 1 x BFL single on a CM500.

the better rated PSU you use, the better efficiency (at the wall) you will get.

best luck with your mining endeavours!

Thanks man :)

May im gonna use my old Block erupter as additional foot heater with the single sc? xD

what ampere rate should the 12v rail have? heard they consume 240-260 watt, that should be more than 22 ampere on the 12v rail, or?

sorry, that's more technical than i can answer  :-\

nvm, found it out myself :)
