Title: Is this PSU good enough to run a single ASICminer CUBE overclocked Post by: Peacefrog on January 28, 2014, 07:53:36 AM I am looking at a few PSU's . I ensured that they both have 2x 6pin PCI-e ports. I would like some input as to whether they are shit or ok
The first is TOPOWER ZU-650W 650W ATX12V Version 2.0 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Certified Power Supply Fans: 2 x 80mm Fans Main Connector: 20+4Pin +12V Rails: 2 PCI-Express Connector: 2 x 6-Pin Model #: ZU-650W Its on sale for almost half off the second is Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2DB 500W ATX12V Power Supply Fans: Dual 8cm Ball Bearing Fan Main Connector: 20+4Pin +12V Rails: 2 PCI-Express Connector: 2 x 6-Pin Model #: RD500-2DB and the third is APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply Fans: 1 x 120mm UV blue LED fan 2 x 80mm UV blue fan Main Connector: 20+4Pin +12V Rails: 2 PCI-Express Connector: 2 x 6-Pin Model #: ATX-AS680W-BL Are any of these ok? Do i need 680w for one cube? Any input is appreciated, thanks Title: Re: Is this PSU good enough to run a single ASICminer CUBE overclocked Post by: raybtc on January 28, 2014, 09:07:27 AM I use a corsair CX600 to run a single cube overclocked and it runs at almost 38 GH/s. You need to check the 12v rail amps the higher the better. Anything above 40amps on the 12v rail should be good. It will set you back about 60 bucks on amazon.
Don't use this crap TOPOWER. There's a reason its on sale.

I couldn't really find extensive info on how to choose the power supply, it was kinda disappointing. You gave me some info that no one else provided. I'm probably gonna grab the same one you have since I've heard corsair recommended quite a few times as a good psu. But i'm gonna look around a little bit still.
Thanks ray Title: Re: Is this PSU good enough to run a single ASICminer CUBE overclocked Post by: jamesc760 on January 28, 2014, 06:15:56 PM You can even run a single cube, overclocked, with a Corsair CX430, only $45 at Aamzon. I have my cube hooked up to a CX750 and am planning on getting a 2nd one soon.

Been running a cube OC'd for a month without issue, along with 22 Antminer U1's and 4 Arctic F12 fans - Good PSU :) |
