What do you guys think of the stock B3+ PSU?
good enough? or buy something else?
Not really sure how important the PSU is in rigs like these.
I ahve a ton of them and the PS seems pretty decent. I would not hesitate to buy them if I were you all. 240V ONLY POWER SUPPLY be mindful of that.
I also have a bunch of there PSU together with the B1 miner. All are running totaly okay since january now.
What about efficiency?
Have you guys tried plugging your Panda's into a brand name high rated PSU and compared the power usage?
they are 83 or 85% at best.
I compared my panda psu to this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rosewill-TOKAMAK-1500W-Full-Modular-Power-Supply-80-PLUS-TITANIUM-Certified-/172455843785?watts were 80 different. but the psu costs more. 80 watts is 2 kwatts a day about 20 cents so in a year it is 73 dollars I can get the titanium for 250 usd on sale that is a lot more then the cheap oem. it would take 2 years or more to pay for itself
there is a photo of a burnt oem psu.
Ya but it looked like he had it in a heat box with the picture I saw. Not standing up for the PSU, its not an EVGA or anything but it is decent for the $ for sure.
