Can the SuperNOVA 1300 power supply effectively power 2 S5 units?

Thanks

yes but freq 331 or 343 is a bit safer then using freq 350



the 1300 can do  1220 watts at a kwatt meter 24/7/365  mine have done that.

my FlowerP platinum 1300W burns only 550W at stock S5

yeah but what happens is the second unit will get near the top of the psu and efficiency drops a bit.

I can be almost perfectly certain if you ran 2 at the same settings you will be higher then 1100 watts.

I have done this with

seasonic plat 1200
evga 1300 g2
evga 1600 p2

all of them drop efficiency near 1100 -1150 watts.

I am on 120 volt circuit.  if I was on 220 volt most likely I would do a bit better. near the top end.

Right now I have 2 sp20's on the evga 1600 p2  they are doing 1240 + 11110 gh = 2350 gh at 1220 watts.  If I run one of  the two take the watts .  then run the other one of the two take the watts they are at 1195 but run at the same time they use 1220 watts so I lose 25 watts due to high draw.

To be fair it is a 120 volt line.

yes but freq 331 or 343 is a bit safer then using freq 350 the 1300 can do  1220 watts at a kwatt meter 24/7/365  mine have done that.

Efficiency only changes by 1% from 20% to 80% load, and a further 1.5% up to 100% load. The 1300W is perfectly fine with 2x S5s on it.

Yep. Feel free to load that PSU up, it can take it.
