I have two brand new units of this power supply. I'm using one on an AntMiner S5. I've read that voltage should never read below 12 volts for the AntMiner. If I run it at default 350 Freq I am reading 11.97 volts at the DC connectors with the AntMiner running. Is this close enough? The reason I ask is that I tried the other new power supply on it and it has the exact same reading 11.97 volts. If I drop the frequency to 300 both power supplies read 12.01 volts with the AntMiner running.
Here's the readings I'm getting:
AC input to power supply (with the Antminer running as the load) 119.6 volts - Kill-A-Watt meter shows about 5amps AC being drawn and I believe about 600W.
DC Output at 350 Freq: 11.97v
DC Output at 300 Freq: 12.1v
So would the 11.97v be acceptable since both supplies give the same reading? Or should I be looking for another PSU?
Thanks!
you are close enough.
what it means is freq 350 is a little too much but not enough to really fuck your numbers up.
-5% or 11.7 is too low.
there is a really good support thread wait for link.
