Great guide as always just wondering I blew 2x 650W on overclock tonight, each cube had 650w PSU, I could smell almost like burning plastic for a while but I thought it was just the new cubes but came home tonight and found both cubes had turned off and PSU's totally not turning back on.
They were decent Cool Master PSU's with 25A
Just wondering why they blew.
Also can you suggest a good PSU that could be used for many cubes ? Is it possible to use the Sata to 6 Pin adapters ?
Thanks
Can you link me to the exact PSU? Seems strange that they would be rated at 650W when only able to provide 300W on 12V rails.
Anything Corsair, you'll pay 10% more but get a big warranty and know exactly what you're getting. The 800W one I recommended is exactly what you'll need to run two off one PSU. You can't use sata to 6 pin adapters, SATA connectors are only rated for 25-35W. If you mean molex to 6 pin adapters then I'd still say no unless you use a dual molex to 6 pin adapter.
A molex could cope with 75W 24/7 - not 150W.
