Question about Power Supplie

[sebasimp]

Hi! I have a Sentey 1000W 80 PLUS Bronze with 75A in the 12V rail (only has 12V rail) and i have 2 XFX R9 280X DD (scrypt mining). My question is, can thaT PS support also an AsicMiner Block Erupter Cube?

Thanks!

Is anybody there?

Safe to assume you can get 720W out of 12V line (12*75*.8 | .8 is for "safe" guesstimating). 280 will consume 250-300W. BE Cube will consume 200-280W. Total draw on 12V line will be ~700-880W.

So... maybe. Wouldn't count on it being reliable if it works. With other components (hard drive, CPU, USB gadgets, motherboard components, RAM), there's a good chance you're over 900W overall.

Block Erupter Cubes are VERY fussy about the power supply used, and they also have a huge inrush current which pisses off most PSUs.  Sentey sounds like a piece of crap chinese box-shifter supply, so I'd guess you don't have a hope of using it do do what you want.

Also make sure put erosion of PSU in time in your calculations. in the beginning PSU can deliver what is written on box in time it gets lessening... %5 %10 etc.
