No offense man but you've got enough threads about PSU questions and what you should/should not be using -- you should know by now that people going to keep telling you to buy a good PSU and not some crap PSU.

Remember the 80% load recommendations I made in the last post of yours I made?

I just want to ask because i am not using raisers on this rig i installed the two cards on the board so it's a diff. Condition and i am using this brand which is not well tested by ppl so i want to be sure about the wattage and the 80+ standards

I was mining pascal through nanopool with thier modified amd miner and it has many issues but the big one is my psu problem because of this miner ,if the miner is closing the connection for a sec and then reconnect like what happened with me then close it immediatly it will make a big problem with your psu like it did to mine this loading and unloading of the miner will f**kup the psu specially if you have multi gpu system drawing alot of watts , now my rig is just cutoff (like if there a power outage) every 30 mins or more so take care.

That has nothing to do with Nanopool - Pascal draws far more power than Eth or XMR, or even ZCash. You didn't account for what your GPUs could actually draw when buying your PSU, and now it's failing because of it.

x2 on this, you should only load up your PSU with 80% of its power capability. If you need 800 watts of power at the wall to power something, you should have no less than a 1000w watt PSU and I would recommend going the extra step and getting an 1100 just incase your temps aren't ideal.

Based upon your report, you have PSU issues either due to quality of the PSU or capacity, or both.

I mined Pascal many months ago with multi-GPU Nvidia Rigs and didn't have any issues with the miner but I follow the "extra step" rule I outlined above. If I need 1200w, I'll put in a 1600W PSU minimum. Costs more but it results in less headaches, time wasted, and hardware wear and tear.

My psu is far on the safe side i am using 3rx 470 and 850w psu i am electrical engineer and that was the easiest part when i was setting up my rig

.
I only want to warn the ppl if the miner is doing the same setting connection 0 problem with someone else thats it good luck

an OC'd 470 can pull 120W so if you assume that you're at 360W there alone, If you're CPU mining on top of this, you could easily pull another 120W depending on the CPU and clock speed. Then add in your system fans...and another other components you are powering... Following the 80% rule you got 680W of power to play with. I would recommend doing some at the wall tests to see where you are.

Also, you may have just had a PSU fail, we've all had them crap out before for no reason... Have you investigated this possibility?

What kind of temperature is your environment? The hotter the environment the less efficient the PSU is going to run and and all the above math changes.

See above in bold, if you are at 240w with 2 470s -- then you're adding cpu and other equipment -- do you think you're following the 80% method on power usage? You only got 400w to play with if you load 80% of 500w
