1. This PSU includes several features which
make it optimal for cryptocurrency mining operations,
including:
1) The air flow direction runs from the AC input
to the DC output, which is the same configuration as most miners.
This proves beneficial for those with large-scale mining operations
where heat management is a major
consideration. 2)The
PCB uses a conformal coating to prevent damage from high voltage
spark discharges on MOS pins, or near high-pressure solder joints
when external conductive particles or dust enter the
PSU. 3) The APW********0 can work stably in
environments with a *0°C ambient temperature. If temperatures
exceed *0°C, the PSU should be underclocked (refer to Max Load vs.
Ambient Temperature Graph in the user guide for details).
Considering the high temperature in mining operations, all internal
components are selected with a standard of **5°C, so the
APW********0 has a much longer lifespan than a general use PSU
under similar high temperatures. 4) The APW*********-B2 uses a PCI-E connector
which is compatible with currently available ATX PSUs, as well as
most bitcoin mining machines.One APW********0 is enough to power
two AntMiner S5s at the same time.
The high power efficiency translates to big cost
savings *- if one uses a secondhand general use PSU running at *3%
efficiency, when compared to the APW********0 running at *3.8%
efficiency, assuming an electricity cost of $0.*0 per kWh, a user
could save more than $**0 USD per year in power
fees.
