It will work.. you just need a program to monitor the X's for a reboot... sometimes a psu reboot will start the miner with X's...
Also make sure you are using a heavy duty timer.. most of those cheap timers you get at the "bargin" bins will not handle the amps and could burn out/up...
remember those were designed for a table lamp 100W's... I would make sure whatever timer you get handles 20amps...
give you an example.. my corsair when stopped by timer will 50/50 start the ant with 1 or 2 x's..but my evga's have yet to...
and yes i have switched up the ants on the psu's to see if it was specific to ants but it's the psu..
also what philipma1957 did.. i undervolted 7 ants and put the fans back on throttle control.. other then the little heat they generate..the noise level is 10000% less...
