What PSU do you use in your mining rig?

[Pachuca]

I purchased a 1200w Seasonic Prime Platinium PSU for 4x gtx 1070 mining rig. Mine was expensive, but I figure I could always re-use it and it has a 10 yr warranty on it. What do you use in your system and why?

Corsair RM750M (grey label)

 

cuz i had one, and it aint a bad PSU. plus had enough cables for the three 1070's i own.

cs750m x 2 

cx750m 

cx430m

Antec 1300 High Current Pro Plat and a Corsair AX1200i Plat. Would have preferred 2x the Antec, but my supplier couldn't get it in stock again.

 

This machine spends more time on Seti@Home but it is still an effective miner also.

EVGA P2 1000w supernova from my old rig and antec 1000w platinum psu.

 

PSU is one of the things which you should invest in. The more more efitient it is, the more you save money and in the long run they dont really lose value. at least the high end ones. Because most of them are sold many many years after they came to market for the same price as at launch.

yeah, i agree with you. That's why I like the Seasonic brand in particular because they offer the most longevity and warranty to back it up. Most companies offer 7 years, but the Seasonic is so good they offer 10 years.

EVGA does also offer 10 years(at least on mine they did) but they are most of the time more expensive  

 

if you are concerned about powerdraw i have 2x 1070 + 2x 470 8gb and they draw 600w from the wall with 4790k, 10 fans, 2 hdd, 1 ssd, 2m.2 ssd, 2 pumps mouse and keyboard (without monitors) when mining. Soooooooo, 1200w for 4 1070 is an overkill 800 would be sufficient as long as you OC them + reduce powerdraw + optimize for mining.

nice setup you have . Unfortunately for me I didn't realize the PSU I bought only had enough ports for 4 gpu's, otherwise, I would have bought more gpus lol. Next I plan to get another PSU and add another 8-10 rx 580 or gtx 1070. I think a 1200w should be able to handle it. What do you think?

8-10 might have be a little too many if you are not carefull and forget to downclock all of the gpus.
