I was looking for advice from anyone who may have shared a similar problem with the BFL power supply that was provided with the 60 GH/s models.

I bought my 2 60 GH"s models used for about a month and have used them for about 1 month myself.  Today one of the power supplies died and will not turn on one of the singles.  I do not have an extra PSU that I could use to power them currently, which is why I made sure to get PSU's with them.  Does BFL offer any kind of help with this type of issue?  Is my only option to get a PSU that will work with them?

Thanks anyone for their help.

BFL will send you new one but it's not worth it to wait for replacement!
Time is money in bitcoin mining! You will wait 15-30 days for new psu from BFL.
Just go and buy 400w psu. Well buy 800w just in case that second one from BFL dies you have backup option in hand!

Get a single rail PSU with at least 4 PCIExpress cables,as stated above,at least 800 watts.Each 60GH'er uses about 230 watts or so Wink

It works just fine,my 30GH'er uses 130 watts approx:



I know,its a multi-rail,had it so I used it,its my gamer rig  Cheesy

I would love to keep it, but I just moved into an apartment and bought thousands of dollars of new furniture and cant justify buying a PSU for something that I am not planning to get cash out of.  Perhaps I can get the 850 Watt PSU from my main rig to power it, but I dont want the single out in the open of my room causing noise all night long.

What a pain in the butt, has there been lots of problems with their power supplies breaking?

Crud and to list this on amazon you have to file a request to list it, wish I didnt mess up my Ebay account selling counterfeit shoes all those years ago.
