Hi everybody
I have been mining non-stop 15+ days in a row with the following setup:
PSU corsair CS750M, powering up two Apollo units working in ballanced mode, all the other values set in auto (default) and via ethernet LAN.
I am very satisfied with their simple setup and robustness (restart and mine again in case of power off etc).
A few days ago my 3rd Apollo unit arrived, this one is not for me but it's a gift for a friend of mine who has an absolutely non-technical soul so it has to work unattended, forever
I bought a brand new PSU, this time a smaller 450 W corsair VS450 and prepared the initial setup as before but with only one unit attached.
To my surprise, afterwaiting a few seconds for the initial system load and get it reg/green blinking, the PSU shuts off.
I suspected a power surge or something coming from the 3rd Apollo.
The shut off happens after doing the full load and not before.
To start isolating the problem my workaround was using my former rig with the older, bigger PSU feeding all three boxes and let it run overnight. The whole system went on mining whitout any problems.
When I did further crossovers - e.g. using one of the older units with the new 450w PSU, the sudden shut off happens again so it seems that it is not something from a specific miner - unless I'm wrong of course.
I judged too unlucky that the corsair PSU could be responsible of the problem as it's a quality brand.
But the issue is driving me bonkers. I do not know how to go on.
Atm I was about to order a PSU replacement but I'd like to share with you here in case I'm missing something or there is a known incompatibility or other issues I may have oversighted before returning the 450w psu to the shop.
Your ideas will be much appreciated - Thanks in advance!
