Hi @fanatic26.

Slightly confused.  Are you saying that you /agree/ that using a DPS1200 like this is a bad idea?  


Correct, it is a bad idea. Each hashing blade pulls ~460w, which would push a 900w psu over its rated limit. While it would work for a while because server psus are pretty beefy, running hardware out of spec for that long will eventually cause a failure of some sort.

If you could find a 1200 watt version you could run 2 of the blades off of the 1200, and the third blade + controller off of the 900w psu safely.

Do 1200W versions exist?

PS, I assume this recommendation from parellelminer for the x11 is also a bad idea?
