Dogie i see you gave best score to: Corsair CX750M ( i have 2 of this psu, 1 for each S3). And 2 more S3 coming, so i thought i could buy a Corsair RM850M, i see you gave it also a very good score, so i can run 2 S3 with this PSu, right?? thanks! edit: sorry you just posted. so you say its better 1x AX 1200i instead of 1x CorsairRM850M? Why 1200W for 2 S3??(2 s3 even 3with OC im getting 725W together). So with corsair RM850M enough, right?? or not?? that 1200 corsair its so expensive for just running 2 S3, or can i run 3 s3 with that psu? You can run 3 on the AXi, yes. And just about 2 on the 750, but it gets very close.

I get 725W with 2 S3 Yes oh ok. i read in other topic someone saying that if you get 725W for example with 2 S3, its so risky to just use a 750W because PSU´s always have a little less than the total 750W they say they have, and better to have a little more extra W than just "20W" more

They have a peak which is 10% above rated, the rating being 24/7 stable.

But i suppose they dont have all the time those 850W, just from time to time or whatever. ok then i will try to run 2 S3 with just 1 CX750M lets see if it doesnt explode

I have a Corsair 1200W Power supply. I used to load below 1000W on +12V rails. Recently I noticed that one of the PCI-E power supply cable overheat a lot than all the other 5 PCI-E power cables. I tried removing all other loads and justed tried with this overheating cable for various loads in this PSU. Did what ever swapping and switchings I could do and found it as a cable problem. I thoroughly inspected this faulty cable for any physical damages but couldn't find any. This cable is only started using 2 months ago and its overheating from the first moment itself. I suspect it as a clear case for warranty claim, looking for comments regarding this or your experience if any. Update:My PSU is Corsair AX1200 Modular. http://www.corsair.com/en/professional-series-gold-ax1200-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-power-supplyHope some of you can guide me on the above.

It would only have taken 1 or two of the conductors to have broken for the load capacity to have gone way down, and so temperatures way up.

Not that easy as they don't have screw terminals. You could use an interface board like the blackarrow power distribution board. So EPS 8 pin -> extender cut up -> distribution board -> PCI-E cable cut up -> S3. I don't know what the current limit on those things is.

What do you think about buying for example two corsair cxm 750W instead of buying one with 1200W? Disadvantages?

I don't know what the current limit on those things is. or if you could know which cables are which, just cut off the 8pin and 4pin atx and connect 6 pin pcie directly at the wire with crimps?

Thankful for this forum!
You have 6x S1 miners. You have 3x CX750m and 2x TW750M. how would you set that up and power the miners?

TW750M? My bad, not a tw it is an HX750W So... to run 6x miners with: 3x CX750M 2x HX750W ??

Personally, I'm shocked at your rating of the EVGA 1000W PSU. I also noticed that you didn't differentiate between the G2 and the P2. I run a 1000W P2 myself. It actually has a 0db noise level at most loads, thanks to the eco switch on the back of it that only runs the fan when it's needed. Sure, the cost is higher than some others, but it's a lower rating than I'd expect. Also, the price of the 1300W has gone down a lot recently, and EVGA just released a 1200W P2. The 10-year warranty doesn't seem to factor in to your calculations either.

I'm not saying it needs to have the highest rating, but I'm just saying it's a off. For example, you rate the Corsair RM 1000W a 77.7. This unit has nearly identical specs to the 1000W EVGA, except it's less efficient, and has half the warranty. In light of this, I think the EVGA 1000W needs to be at least a 78. I imagine that this rating was done when the EVGA 100W was closer to the $300 range and never recalculated. You should also differentiate between EVGA's gold and platinum series in your ratings.
