Re: ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.25/GH & 0.51W/GH
Anyone tried running one of these beasts off 2 PSU's ... aka 1 for each board?
Not sure whether I am seeing correct numbers so I'll cross-check with anyone who has (or has not for that matter).
Running 1 S5 with 2 Dell 550W server PSU's ..... I took this snapshot an hour ago, but the errors have crept up to 25 (0.0008%)
EDIT: And I am running this with just an S3 fan in pull .... seems like the stock fan arrived dead!

It looks good to me...especially if your configuration has been able to sustain such an OC for an extended period of time. Ten thousandths of a percent is virtually non-existent.
In fact, that's what I have actually planned on doing if and when I decide to get some S5s (see my prior post) as I still have several spare Corsair CX500 PSUs which have a 456WDC max on their single +12V rail per spec (label) and an efficiency of about 85% at around 65% load. Using a CX500 to power an S5 blade as an example and assuming that an OC'd S5 draws 700WAC (350WAC per blade) at the wall, a CX500 would have a comfortable 65% load (35% headroom/margin):
350WAC per blade at the wall * 85% PSU efficiency = 297.5WDC draw from the CX500
297.5WDC / 456WDC CX500 +12V rail max load = 65% load on the CX500 (or 35% headroom/margin)
