3 IBM 2880 PSU with Jabberwock mods

The batch 7 uses: 1278 W (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25C ambient temp)
The batch 8 uses: 1293W + 10% (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25C ambient temp)

I'm pretty sure the batch 7 numbers are off, but with these numbers we're at 2571W per PSU for a platinum rated PSU.

I've been running these miners since the middle of december with no problem... until now.

Sorry I'm not sure how I missed that in the original post.  That's the same PSU that I use and should be providing plenty of power.  There were questions about the 2880 if they were indeed platinum or not whereas the 2980 is definitely platinum rated.  I've heard people say that they pushed the 2880 to over 3000 watts with no problems.  I've never done it myself.

To post pictures you have to uploads them to another hosted site like imgur or something similar and then link them here.  I don't think Newbies are allowed to post pictures into the message but you can post a link to the pictures.

I believe that the batch 7's were the ones rated at 5.05th.  I don't know if these's a new firmware for that, but as a last resort I would consider updating the firmware.
