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.
