Hi all, been lurking for a while and picking up great info so thank you.

Yesterday my 3 SP20's arrived , got to say the service from Spondoolies was fantastic.
After a bit of reading i decided to go for the Corsair CX750M power supplies, 6 of them to be exact. I figured a nice spread of power and if i lost one then the miner wouldn't be totally down.

This is my setup :

A bit of in house testing before moving them to the garage and wow is the room hot..

No matter what fan or power configuration i seem to use they are only running at around 1582 each. One unit is sitting at 1.6 but this is still , but sometimes it's less and it's just scraping the +/-10% you would expect.

If i set the power to nuts mode maybe a bit more , but i find it best to have everything set to medium as the extra noise and power drain isn't producing anything more by any viable magnitude.

So my question : Is this a power limit? I'm seeing some people are getting 2.1TH/s from their units. I've set the power settings found in the forum to those and nothing more. To start powering on through to the advertised 1.7TH/s should i be running 2 x 850 or 2 x 1000w PSU ?

Other than that, thank you for the tip on BTC Guild i'm happily mining away with 4.42TH/s
