Back in 2014 I was cheap and instead of buying quality PSUs I would use these no name type of low quality PSUs which were like 450Watts max. I had tons of these because they generally were always included in a computer case and I never used them.

They only had 1 PCIe connector but you would easily make another PCIe connector if you rewired some of the other unused plugs. Keep in mind I used this to run an Antminer not power a GPU rig.

The issue was that the efficiency was crazy bad. It was like 65% or something. So if you are pulling 100 Watts from the wall, 35 Watts is basically lost as heat and only 65 Watts went to power my Antminers.

They also usually only lasted 2 weeks and then would just die. I didn't even run them at 100% load, maybe 70% load and they just died shortly after. I think they are mostly for housewives who use their computer to browse facebook and pull less than 40 watts total from the PSU. But for mining... forget about it.

Hi Adaseb

Well yeah my pc was for gaming, but as games sucks today at least for me "prefer metal gear solid 1000 time than the latest metal gear" i switch i to mining, and my first psu just died like in 2 years i think and i just buy another crappy psu -__-

Thank for your advice and experiance, i really appreciate that.
