[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3350492, member: 29706"] My miner was killing a PSU about every two years. Then again I was using an 850 watt PSU and running the MoBo, a pentium LGA 1151 cpu, 2 sticks of DDR4, 2 gtx 1080's that are beyond normal factory clocking and an RX480 that is also faster than normal factory clocking. Using a calc online most of them say I should have been pulling around 820 watts but I am guessing I was a little over that. Was able to swap for a 1200 watt psu for about 90 bucks when it went out last month. Probably a blown cap or something else messed up. It will feed the MoBo power but won't actually fully power up. Need to take it apart and see if I notice anything messed up, if not I will strip the 120MM fan out of it and a few other things then toss it. [/QUOTE]
