That might be what you're running, but what is it pulling? 1200 seems really high for that miner

well that would be about right:

same thing with zeus 28Mh

Ya, I did some research on these, you're right on the power draw.

For reference, these are essentially a pair of black widows in a single case. Each of my widow boards pull about 250 watts at 120v. When I first got mine, I found the fan pulling air from the back of the unit which, in my opinion, seems wrong.  One of the first things I did was flip the fan on the chassis, blowing hot air back into my hot aisle the way it was intended.  I also found the wire to be rather thin, and I replaced with 14awg with crimped terminals. You're wiring options will vary based on your psu. One thing I learned for sure it's that it's better to power each board separately than using two ends from the same lead coming from the psu, just too much draw. I'm looking at you EVGA.

Those blade center psu, or the ones from quakefiend420, I keep seeing on here would be great for powering these, with replaced wiring into the chassis.

If I had the available power in my mine, I'd pick up a few of these.  They are solid miners, even if a bit power hungry.  For those that are ltc mining, keep an eye on the pending block reward halving as part of your ROI calculation.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm concerned about the halving too. I haven't found an online calculator that takes it into account.

Not that anyone really knows what will happen when the litecoin reward is cut in half. Will cutting the supply result in an increase in value, or has that already been realized in the run up? It's an unclear time...


Was I helpful?   BTC: 3G1Ubof5u8K9iJkM8We2f3amYZgGVdvpHr

Cool, payment sent for 2. Will update when there's more info to update. Folks here seem much more satisfied with identity than on reddit. Go figure Tongue

Awesome, tracking numbers received, Falcons are in route! Shipment total weight is 45lbs so unless it's a box of rocks it seems totally legit!

Seemed like a good enough deal to me. If you tossed in a psu/controller combo I'm sure you could net a bit more.

Hi are there still any available?  I would like to purchase one.  Please get back to me
I'm going to stop selling for a while and focus on inspecting the miner more before shipping out. In the men time you can maybe pick one up on ebay Smiley
