Can anyone recommend a good PSU to use to run 2 LTC and 2 BTC miners? Right now I'm using the Futurebit power supplies and one blew up on me so I'm looking to replace and consolidate.

I've been using Dell 03MJJP + a power supply adapter a guy makes on eBay. I'm running a full package + 2 standard units at around 370W on Eco with absolutely no issues. It does get a bit loud if you overclock to turbo+ it but still relatively quiet.

How long did you use the futurebit power supply for and how was the damage? I was planning on using my extra ones with some GekkoScience stuff.



It's from a batch 2 ltc unit, I think it's 2 years old or so. It looks like it had some kind of surge. The wires are toasted and the connectors on the power supply and miner are both destroyed.
Thanks for the recommend on the Dell power supply.  I tried a server one from HP, but it was just too loud for my environment.
