I have a SpondooliesTech SP20 that I'm wanting to use and I was wondering if an HP 437508-B21 1200w redundant server power supply would work for it? I can't find anywhere to tell me if it supports PCIE Express. This is the page I'm looking at: https://www.serversupply.com/POWER%20SUPPLY/SERVER%20POWER%20SUPPLY/1200WATT%20%20REDUNDANT/

Thanks for any help.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

The machine itself pulls 1200w at the wall so you want a PSU that is more like 1500-1600w for longevity.

Also be aware that the efficiency on the spondoolies is pretty bad compared to newer hardware. Unless you have free power you will lose money running it.
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

you could probably get away with it if you underclock the miner (usually the lower the clock the more effiecitn the miner runs and ofcourse cooler and quiter the trade off is a lower mining speed alot of people do this to squeeze as much ROI as they can out of the miners
