Quick power #'s, measured with my best unit.. and the only one that will hit 500GH.

Corsair TX850 80plus bronze PSU - single S3:
218 mhz -- 450 GH --  346 watt at the wall
225 mhz -- 480 GH --  370 watt at the wall
237 mhz -- 500 GH --  394 watt at the wall

My first order was 10, and here's an average over the last few hours:

Overall, kinda disappointed with the lack of overclocking. (Which was warned about due to a bad batch of DC-DC..)  While I do have one fast unit, One of the units won't even run at the STOCK clocks without X'ing out at least 1-2 of the ASIC's, and most of them can't survive even bumping up to 225. At this stage 2 or 4 power connectors doesn't seem to matter at all. The 500GH unit is running on (2), and the 420-units won't go faster on (4). I'm running 3 S3's per 1300W power supply, so it's not a power issue.

Feeling a little deju'vu to KNC here.. First batch got bad dies, 400GH, second batch got fixes, 550GH.
