930~960w on 1000w psu. safe or not?

[timiddude]

PSU is EVGA 1000GQ. running 24/7.

[solosequenosenada]

No more than 80% will be safe for 24/7

[jmigdlc99]

Definitely not safe. It will work for a few days until one day you will come home to a burnt smelling PSU or worse, a burnt smelling house.
Do not risk it and either heavily undervolt your GPUs or get a better PSU. Think about the people leaving near your GPUs as well.
People's lives cost much more than what you earn mining. Lol.

So basically you are running at 9x% loading 24/7 which is dangerous. I suggest you find a 1200-1300W PSU which could let you run with 80% loading for safe and stable 24/7 operation.

[Kstin]

pretty not

[GingerTiger]

not safe at all, we operate between 70-75% load 80% max.

[timiddude]

alright. guess I'll go take off one gpu and get an extra psu. 

[GingerTiger]

always better to be safe, no one wants a fire 

[dadesu]

For mining not safe at all. But lots depend of quality of you psu and temperature in that room where is mine.
With 930-960 power consumption you must go to 1200w psu, and try to go on platinum.

PSU is EVGA 1000GQ. running 24/7.

Ignore all the naysayers, a 1000W PSU is BUILT to be run AT 1000W Output and the warranty covers any failures - most PSUs that high end come with 5+ years of warranty.
What you measure as 930-960 is at the wall or INPUT, so the output is most likely 930x0.9 or~840W - a perfectly safe number.
There are ofcource some other considerations like temperature (most PSU ratings are at 45-50C) and the input voltage - on 110v most PSU's get like 80% of peak rated power output. SO if youre running on 110v or in a very hot room with no cooling, better get a 1200-1300W PSU, otherwise a 1000W is just fine.

I use corsair 750w 80+ and max 500w of them ..7/24 ..I hope they live 2 years..

[Metroid]

Yes very safe, a 1000w psu maximum output within the computer is 1000w which is 1100w at wall. So if you are using 960w at wall then that means 87% of total power the psu can handle.

[fapar]

It is better to use picopsu or low-power (350W) ATX power supply connected to the main power supply through the synchronizer.
Of course the more links in the chain the more chance of problems. But it's better than using Your power supply at over 90%.

[bucketofsocks]

I did it for more than 6 months on a shitty old cooler master silver psu with no failures, but that doesn't mean its a good idea.
Only psu I've ever had burn on me is a thermaltake, and that was a 750w running at 300w

[slate_main]

That is defo not safe, it is better to underrun equipment that overrun it, once you have seen PSUs of any sorts explode / go on fire, you will learn to respect these capacitored filled beast, also, some can even go on fire... It is also worth paying for good hardware, especially PSUs, not only are they tested for electrical frequencies, and balanced, but also are efficient and safer that cheap, no names..

[ltcsprite]

No.

Get a 1200w PSU minimum.

Unless ofcourse you want lower lifespan on all of your hardware and PSU.   And constant crashes/reboots.

Don't listen to metroid he's a mega troll.

hehe.

So 80% from what we got from wall is safe? Kind like for 1000w psu for 880w on wall?

[Bakhtra]

No.

Get a 1200w PSU minimum.

And i though thats real.

[crairezx20]

If you wanted to run your mining safely better to buy much higher watts.. around 1200w to 1400w is ok and you mining are safe ... i couldn't tell if you had PSU of 1000w and running 930-960w  it will be still depends in your PSu if your PSU was good in condition maybe it can handle 930-960w better to check if your PSU is really too hot so you know if better to use more than 1000w to run in safemode..

[baga105]

Or you can simply buy one 650/750W psu and "bridge it" it will still do the work
