15/15/15 voltage for each board too high and going to pop a circuit?

You are going to fry your hashboards if you don't know what you are doing. You REALLY shouldn't take the voltages past 13 unless you understand what you are doing and based on your post, it doesn't sound like you do mate. Taking all the way to 18 could instantly & forever kill your hashboard.

Sometimes I wonder why people like this even bother replying... the whole point of me making a post here is not so I can brag about what I already "understand".... it's clearly because I don't and have a question to ask and would like an answer.

I'm in USA so 120 volt or 110 not sure.

What is the highest I can put my ASIC Voltage to without it breaking/popping any circuits?

Power cost is not the concern and I'm pretty sure the max power draw is 1300 watts from the AMP3++ power supply from bitmain?

I want highest hash rate possible... POWER cost is not a problem the only problem is popping a circuit!

Thanks

Your supply will only give you 1200watts at 120v. So you can't go much higher without killing the supply or starving the boards.

The above is correct but to answer the rest of your question : look in your breaker box. are they 15amp breakers or 20 or what..
take that and x 110 (thought technically 120/240 - real world best to base your math on 110/220) this will give you the wattage that
the WHOLE circuit can run..at MAX if your wires are crappy and barely acceptable for the amps you will be drawing they will get hot.. (gotter the closer you get to max..) so lets say 15 so that is a max of 1650.. (oh wait keep in mind your psu will draw MORE than the 1200 it is giving to the machine.. by like.. alot. ) so realistically.. you can do it on 15 amp breakers IF you have pretty much NOTHING else on the circuit.. how to find out? flip a breaker.. what all went off... that;s all on the same circuit. voila.

my bad.. the rest of HIS question. sorry still getting coffee in me.

I think you missed my question. I understand that my power supply will only use up to its maximum but what ASIC voltage setting is that? 13/13/13 or could it be 1/20/1 or what happens if I do 20/20/20 is it going to pop a circuit? The whole point is I'm trying to not pop a circuit at all so let's my setting is 15 amps (just guessing) what does that come down to in terms of asic voltage 13/13/13? 15/15/15 or how can I know? Flipping a breaker is what I'd like to avoid completely!

This you can´t answer in General, because every Miner and hashboard is different.

you guys should look at getting 240v circuit. the one used for dryers here.. you can go upto 50Amps on that and can run 3 D3's easily on a single circuit.

Missing the point completely. I'm not trying to find an "ideal" or "best hash to cost ratio" on a board. I simply want to know say I have a 15 amp wall outlet that has 110 volts max. Is putting my ASIC miner to 15/15/15 voltage for each board too high and going to pop a circuit? I see the option to do 20/20/20 at highest and 13 is recommended but let's say I put it to 10/18/10 is that too much? How can I tell how many amps my miner is using up? I don't want 3 or anything I just want to avoid breaking the circuit board thing.

K we need to know more stuff here .. many variables involved.. is it a new house? new apratment building? really old apartment building? warehouse? is ANYTHING else plugged in on that circuit? even a tv that is off draws power now-a-days. the bitmain firmware for the 19ghs batches claim 1500+ (can't remember the total number) at the wall. So that is under what your circuit can do. not by much but you should be good unless you have really old wiring. or a weak breaker (happens more than you would think) BUT your psu will only put out a max of 1200 so it might fry the psu trying to put out enough juice..(and still not pop the breaker) but I do not know the miner-side power draw at those settings.. so can't tell you for sure. each psu/hashingboard/wiring setup/breaker is all different.. this is all rule of thumb kinda stuff. *IF* someone else out there is running 20/20/20 on the same psu as you have then yeah it should be fine. or if someone knows more about the miner-side power draw vs at the wall ??
basically if you can look it up maybe at bitmain. so long as your psu can handle it .. it should not pop the breaker *IF* there is nothing else on the circuit. (on your psu look at the input side.. at 110 and max amps if that number is less than 1600 it shouldn't pop the breaker)

It's an apartment room with shared power to the room next to it I think? It was built within the last 5-8 years. I appreciate that you say it will only put out a max of 1200 watts but the psu input side is weird because it varies based on if you use a 220 volt house or less I think?

How can I know how many amps I'm currently pulling by having my voltage at 13/13/13 (bitmain default) ?

I think If I knew the bitmain default amps being used vs a standard amps maximum limit in a house that would be great.

Thanks for all the help I've gotten

K the apt wiring will not be an issue (make that should not.. depending on how cheap the contractors were hehe) and yes power switching psu's will have different inputs (or should) one for 110-ish is the one you want. That tells you what the psu will draw at max. if the 110*max amps on that line is less than 1600 you shouldn't pop the breaker. (lemme know btw since I might get one of these) - breaker side will be fine.. but not sure how much the miner actually uses (so you don't fry the psu) but if other people are overclocking on the same type of power suplly without it being on 220 you will be fine.
