so, i just got two BFL singles. based on my research a 500w PC power supply should be enough, so i got one and plugged it in. one BFL single works fine. but the other... well, firstly i had to buy two molex to 6 pin PCIe adapters, so there's that... but when i try to power them both and start mining through BFG, they work for a couple seconds, then the PSU shuts down. i assume due to too much power being used.
i don't have a kill-a-watt or other test stuff handy to determine what they're actually drawing.
i'm also fully aware they won't make any money, so skip it. not why i'm doing it.
how much juice do i need here? 600 watts? more? adapters a bad idea?
