Is Corsair RM850 80+ Gold PSU enough for running one Antminer C1?

Yes, although I still prefer the 1000 as an investment if you're buying a new one.

I can confirm the rm1000 is great with theses.  I had a cold ambient temps and PSU was in its "quiet" mode.

I have got conformation I am being sent 2 pumps as replacement's.   I bought a molex to fan connector so I don't have to worry about my wire frying boards.

All said it looks like I am losing around 2 weeks mining on 2 C1 machines.  Down 2 board fan controller's on 2 separate boards.  Lost higher priced coolant.  Paranoid and bought 2 extra pumps, and molex to fan boards.  With extra parts I ordered I am hoping to lose only around a week, but it came at a premium.

I will know more when I get all the parts from RMA.


I highly suggest 2 things after all of this so you don't lose mining time.  

Where would buy extra pumps if you are in the US? Or does it matter what kind of pump, as long as it pumps enough coolant through?


With US I had trouble finding a pump for cheap with quicker shipping.  I turned to ebay and sorted by being in US and you can adjust location miles.  Then you can see estimated shipping dates.  The thing with ebay was LOTS of variety, and i was able to get a different brand.   Lots come from China, I just didn't have time with being down two miners.  Amazon has one that is close to kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MB9EP3G/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0K2PSNFZTA9AHGE42714&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846 .   But myself I wanted one's different then kit ive been messing with.
