#GIGATECH W 016 DRIVERS FOR MAC INSTALL#
Upon receipt, I'll install them in a machine purpose-built to draw 600W. Overall Review: Note I did not buy these at Newegg, I'm just so mad that I'll be posting this review to all the sites I regularly order from.Īt this point, I figure I have this to look "forward" to I'll return all three for repair. I suspect Ecova was supplied with a special built unit if not of an entirely different design, at least with different component mfrs. I can't understand how these survived Ecova's tests long enough to be rated. I should have taken the fact that they are not UL listed as my first clue, and the fact that Coolmax is universally decried as junk on the 'Net as my second. I wouldn't operate ANY supply at its max rating, but I ran these with a %21-31+ "safety factor" and they still failed. Because I was launching or fiddling with each at the time of failure, I had the pleasure of visually witnessing all three. Loud pop, bright flash, acrid smell from all three. At 593WaW/514W delivered the third one popped at 20 minutes. Ticked at this point, I fired up the third machine on stock BIOS. The second supply popped within three hours. At that point I started fiddling with clocks and settled on settings that drew 540 WaW, or 468W delivered. I ran the supply at 450 WaW for about a week. Second build, I was careful to undervolt the video flashing the BIOS. Referring to Ecova's best measured efficiency of %86.64 for this particular supply, that's 526W delivered from a supply rated for 672W on the 12V rail alone. The first one popped in less than one hour at 607W at the wall. This represents IDEAL cooling conditions: heaven help you if you top mount these with warm case air flowing through. Thus plenty of fresh, cool air of less than 70F was available at all times. It is important to point out these were bottom mounted in a case with a bottom vent. I had a Kill-a-Watt (in the end two in series, as a sanity check) in-line at all times. Bought three of these for light altcoin mining, expecting to sacrifice long term efficiency for short term savings.īecause i was mining, I was keenly interested in power consumption.
