Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Better to not run at 100% of the PSU capacity though. I run turbo but use an off the shelf 500W PSU.
Also correct, yes, maybe FutureBit has more info about the actual rating of their PSU's - maybe the product pages just say 200W but there's a little headroom built in still?
Edit: From product pics it seems the absolute max that can be pulled from it, is indeed 16,7A, which is 200.4W...
Maybe suggestion to FutureBit to upgrade their PSUs to e.g. 220W units for the next iteration
I also always over-spec PSU's when building PCs for example, it's really common practice and they also run more efficient at around 70-80%, I think.
It can run in turbo and is rated for that, but there is little headroom, OCP will kick in at about 210-220 watts.
Next gen PSU will be able to run at ~300 watts.
