First off Loshia, something i've wanted to mention for a while is how you use the expression "at the wall", which is really "to the wall", and comes from the expression "balls to the wall", which is an expression used to represent acceleration or "full throttle" which was created by pilots who would push the throttle lever (the ball) to the point where it actually touches the panel (the wall). And we know you mean it from a consumption standpoint of course, I just wanted to throw that out there. Say "to the wall".
I think the 600W to 900W quote is a bit unrealistic yes. But I also think your 1.7W is a bit too much. That why i said i'd bet on 1w/ghs nominal and 1.3w overclocked or "to the wall". And yes this will be from the miners AMT ships, not demo's of course.
If you really want to make it interesting we could a .4w over/under 1.1w/ghs spread bet with a parlay for hashrate expectancy. What do you think?
He means he measures it "at the wall" socket using a Watt meter or kill-a-watt meter. Its the usual term, you are the one who is confused.
At the wall just means that is what the psu pulls from the wall socket compared to what the miner pulls from the PSU.
That's obvious, but the expression should still be to the wall, or more over if we're being very correct about it, it should be "from the wall". But "to the wall" kinda says it all. But com'n its Loshia, its not my place to correct him because he has been a valuable member of this forum as far as I see, hes a good guy really. I think AMT should send him a miner to review.
