I don't know about the other model but I have melted 5 of these SeaSonic Platinum 860W PSUs at the modular connectors by drawing over 250W per PCI-e cable over an extended period of time. This was with various miners. |

This was with various miners. Ack! ..... hmmm this is not good ......could a guy use Y cables the good 16awg type? ......that was knc's solution to this kinda thing.... hopefully it is not an issue and sponddoolies will reply here but on a side note ..perhaps they can also answer if 16awg Y cables are a good idea as well just to be safe with 2 psu's (or not) No way the guy imho is gonna get an sp20 and 2 new psu's with the other 2 he has on hand now from whenever....anyway await replie(s) perhaps someone on here is using the above seasonic 660w (the seasonic 860w I'm not so concerned about that should work?) |

I have had seasonic 660 760 and 860 platinum psus never any issues even when over loading them 10-15% over. But then again only pulling 200-210 watts per connector.

what does an sp20 pull per connector? If they are pulling around 1200 watts and there are only 4 inputs in the back then 300 watts per connector. Kinda iffy if you dont have 16 awg wires. |

I just tried to purchase an SP20, was re-directed to a shopify(?).com for bitcoin payment and it said the site was down. I guess I will be buying an S5 instead. I really wanted an SP20, though.
I have 9 of them in house. I am in New Jersey, USA. If you are USA send me a pm. |

Has anyone been able to get the WiFi to work on the SP20? I have the dongle plugged in but it even after multiple re-scans, nothing shows up for networks. Am I missing a step? I am on 2.6.7

I've ordered today! That's like getting into mining for the first time again  . Hopefully ASIC mining will be fun as GPU mining was. Good for you! You are able to get free electricity, right? |

I recently received a used SP20. I know that it works, and can hash. When I received it, it had Firmware 2.5.61 installed. Virtually everything I have seen posted here for a recent version is 2.6.x. So I went down the route of "Upgrading the firmware". I went and let it choose the "latest firmware", and the result appears to be 2.6.1. I am virtually certain that many folks have 2.6.7 or possibly 2.6.14? I then tried the auto update again, and it says "I am current with the latest". I then looked into a "Manual Selection", and said that 2.5.12 was the only one I could choose from. That just didn't look right, so I decided to seek advice here before I try and advance beyond 2.6.1.
1) I am truly confused by the firmware version numbering scheme.
2) How do I get beyond 2.6.1 to something that's got better control of the fan?
If there is a discussion of this somewhere in the past 500 pages, please point me at it.
Thanks very much!!!

Yes, I Can run them on free electricity. But only up to 6 units. That is enough for me though. Doing it as a Hobby with a bit of cashflow 😊. Hopefully I will receive them this week |

Select the firmware upgrade manually. 2.6.7 is currently shown as a test version but it works. |
