I've poured my free time looking into PSUs, and I wanna bounce off my finding to y'all.
"Supposedly" their efficiency only starts to kick in when they're 50% under load. Some actually are advising running two PSUs instead of just 1 "if" you are starting out with 2/3 outta 6.
Another difference is between Gold and Platinum. I see quite a few say that their is little difference, or "not" much different between the 2. 2% worth the plat between the gold?
Any thoughts?

I see many vids on YT, and general searching pertaining to breakdowns. They make it a point that you should figure these in when you're looking at your total profits.
Through searching around, I can't seem to find a list of the most common breakdowns that occur, and cost of fixing them.
In truth, the only thing specifically I've heard are GPU fans. That makes sense to me while I think about things further down the line in my mining career. Fans seem fixable, but a pain to do so. I'll have to deal with that when that happens.
I wanted to see if there were really any other common issues that you "guys in the know" deal with on a regular basis?
If GPU fans are the main issues, how long should I expect to start having problems with them? I know we can't pinpoint exactly, but just a rough guesstimation would be helpful.
I am sure GPUs themselves prolly have a life expectancy in years/running time. Is there a guesstimation out there of the most common life cycle of GPU running? If I can get info on that, I'd also both non OC, and OC'd.
If I'm asking something that is commonly asked all over these boards, I apologize in advance. If there are some, I have no problems doing leg work and reading through them if a link is provided.
Any information would be helpful and I thank you for your time.

Yeah, I was worried a 1k was going to be the answer..
What would you suggest for running 3 and also 4?
I'm just trying to get an idea of the range between them.
I see what they pull, but If I go by that, a 750 will only run 2.
Thanks!

I am currently working on setting up a stand alone rig to mine.
Right now, I have 1 1060 6gb and I'm thinking of adding another 1060, or adding a 1070.
I may add more down the line if I happen to run across a good deal, but for now I'm going to stick with just two.
I see lots of vids showing 1000wat + running 6 1060s/1070s, but I also see some running 750watt.
I'd like to buy a PSU for further down the line.
Would a 750watt be the best choice if i ever got to the point of running 6 mixmached 1060/1070?
Thanks for the help!
