Title: Re: What power supply in stock can run 5 280xs?! Post by: crazyates on February 04, 2014, 05:01:31 AM For our 5x 280x rigs, here are our power numbers:
At stock volts (1.13), our rig pulled ~1450W. After undervolting (1.01), we pulled ~1250W. You don't need a 1600W. You can get away with a 1500W. We use 2x 750W Rosewill Capstone, and they work wonderfully. Two smaller PSUs are usually cheaper than one large one; We got our two for $100/each. |
