Thanks leowonderful - this community has been great - very helpful and active thanks everyone for everything
I have a friend helping me build a great gpu rig right now - so will install ethOS, or use nicehash with this rig
I really wanted to run the Antminer S9
I have a 15 AMP circuit breaker with a dedicated outlet. Everyone on the forum who has posted before said it would need a 20 AMP breaker installed -15 AMP and dedicated outlet not enough for safe S9- and my landlord is very not okay with any electrical changes/etc.
The 1600W EVGA Supernova would work nicely to power the S9 and I could buy it for a good price - and I could then just worry about selling the APW3 PSU. Seems like PSUs are easy to resell even for later generation or earlier generation products.
Just want to keep within the guidelines... and seems like I'd be pushing it....
"Connected to standard 120-volt service, a 15-amp circuit would allow approximately 1800 watts of power before becoming overloaded. For long-term loads, including anything that draws current for more than three hours, the maximum wattage allowed would be 20 percent lower, at 1440 watts."
