Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Avalon Avalon6 Setup [HD]
They're made by Enermax, the same PSU company that mine fails to mine with. It will flicker on for a second then sit in an error state as it thinks the sudden rise in power consumption from the miner is a surge/overload and will shut itself down.
Unfortunately you'll likely need a different PSU.

Wow, seems weird to me. Sounds like I need to get some serious PSU knowledge. I have some extra antminer APW3-12-1600-B2 PSUs. Those should be more than good enough, right?
I did find this on my PSU after doing some research about PSU issues:

At the very bottom there is a notice that talks about connecting two or more high power GPUs. There is also a diagram of the jacks on the PSU. One of the PCI-Es comes directly out of the PSU and then you can plug in up to 3 GPUs. I don't really understand all of that or how it would make a difference. But I tried a few different combinations of them hoping to get lucky... not so much.
Shouldn't my controller version be listed on the dashboard? I just want to make sure there isn't something else going on before I (attempt to) return this PSU.
