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.  



i really like that molex to fan power board.
those would work great in my pc builds.
this is part reasons why i always read these threads.

It's working great with it.  And no chance of fried boards like with sysgear harness (version 1).   

One thing to mention is I replaced pump with a 3 pin fan so I was able to do a molex to fan pin board with all 3 pins.  If you are using the syscooling pump you for optimum power need one 4 pin for their pump.  They do make some with a mix so it's possible to get one that does this.
