Power Supply Question

Yeah, those shell shockers last less than a day.

I already got my 30a antec supply which was a $27 shell shocker (no rebate!)

Any thoughts on this power supply for the smart strings?

It's a bit low on output power.  If you are powering a small number of nods then it should work otherwise you need to go bigger.

plus, you're paying for 2 power supplies, when only one can be powered at a time.

it has 14VA which gives you about 11VA worth of smart string nodes power.

a full 128node string is almost 4A

you should be able to power about 300 nodes (less if using squares, or rectangles)

Will this Corsair work for a SS hub with all 16 ports connected to 100 node strings. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. Kind of hoping if RJ could answer if he has time. but anybody else is also welcomed.

That is a single rail 850W supply putting out 70A at 12V and will work just fine for what you want it to do.
