PSU recommendation for mining machine

[aikklond]

Hello everybody,

I am about to setup a miner with 2*7950 as well as an a6-5600k.

Gpus gonna mine litecoin while the CPU some sort of cpu-coin.


Do you think a 750Watt PCP&Cooling PSU (which I have lightly used for 2 years) will be enough for minning 24/7?

Maybe not. I toasted a 600W crap PSU with just a single graphics card. A Corsair 650W handles 2 cards without issues.

If the PSU can handle it, depends on the REAL(not claimed) Amperes provided by the 12V rail. You probably need up to 25A per card, not sure

In alternative or in addition you should undervolt the cards. You probably will need to hexedit and reflash the bios.

750 should be enough, what you really need is a good quality PSU....
