While I respect AM and your guides Dogie, I have to respectfully disagree -

The math:
800(speed of the tube) X 240/270(ratio of clocks) X 2(ratio of chips per miner) = 1422
and because you have underclocked you can now lower the voltage resulting in some power savings.
Come on man we've all done this with our GPUs; this is nothing different or special and nothing they couldn't have done right off the hop to give AM an edge.

parallell powering layout my ASS. Who came up with this BS?

The guy with inside information maybe? But your math checks out so it's k, lets go with that. I'm sure friedcat purposely made the tubes consume an additional 50% power for no reason.

Not commenting on the series string vs VRM debate since I don't see any reason why they couldn't have done so, but if you're burning an extra 50% in your VRM you've done it extremely poorly.

maybe not 50%, but I do know they get very hot, must be losing up to 10% power over the regulator and another 5% on the inductor. It also looks like theres a few extra chips. Couple all these things together and theres definitely potential to trim some power draw in comparison to the previously high-volted, overclocked chips
