Hello there,
I'm from Russia and have ordered 1 x ANTMINER S5 BATCH 4.
Now I need some advice from you ...
I have a new out of the box PSU Fractal Design NEWTON R3 80PLUS® Platinum
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-600w and I'll going in anyway to connect it to S5.
Which are the potential minuses I'll get if use the PSU NEWTON R3 with Antminer S5? Please list all if it possible.
Thanks.
At 600W draw at the wall, that'll only give you around 10% headroom. If you're comfy with that (also keeping in mind that it's a Platinum PSU), then that's your call. I'd monitor it very closely for the first few days. Also, make sure that the PCIe cables don't get too hot especially during the hottest ambient temperature that you could possibly have.
I'd get a 750W/800W PSU if it were me though and overclock to heart's content without worrying about power requirement.
