I have Corsair AX860's running all of my S3's. They have a "hybrid/normal" switch. When I flipped that switch to "hybrid" on a couple of my PSU's, I had one board on several rigs stop working. My hashing power on each of those rigs cut in half. However, it worked fine when I turned off the power to the PSU and turned it back on. They would work fine for several hours. Then all of a sudden I get an alarm from the pool saying hash is down. I would look at the rig setting off the alarm, only to see the hashing rate was half of what it should be. It ended up being the "hybrid/normal" switch. When I flipped the switch to "normal," I have not had a problem ever since.

With that said, "Hybrid" probably limits the amount of power given to the rig once the PSU reaches a certain temperature. Hybrid makes the fan on the PSU turn at less RPM's. So, if you do not have Corsair's with a "hybrid/normal" switch, it may be your PSU is not sufficient at providing the power needed to the rig(s).

Still pay attention to Dogie. He knows what he's talking about.

Is it an AX or AXi? On the AXis you can toggle between single rail and multirail (which we don't want).

It's the AX860.

The only difference between the 2 models is one being able to connect to and control fan speed, etc... I suppose I should read the manual. I assumed hybrid helped it provide the same power while using less energy. LOL

Nevermind, if its AX then its a form of fan control. Hybrid brings the fan RPMs down and will stop it at lower loads, where as normal prioritises low temps [PSU efficiency] over noise levels.
