philipma1957,

Any idea on the efficiency of the power supplies?  I'm kind of wondering if we cant' drive these using a more efficient PC or server PSU with a breakout board.

Here's a fun graph, my power consumption on 3 units over the last 3 days.



This kind of makes me wonder if these can't run using 70-80 watts with the right PSU and winter temperatures.

I also got some of these in marcotheminer's group buy.

Yeah I have been looking at a dozen oem websites that sell 12volt 15 amp bricks.

That is the brick size we get.

After careful study the worst brick I found had 78% efficiency and the best brick I found has 88%

So if you put in a 95% titanium  vs  78% the 111 watts would go to maybe 91 watts best case

but if it is the 88% then the 111 goes to 102 watts

If I can determine that these are 78% bricks I will post back with results using a titanium psu.
