Thx, would it even be possible with 3 r9 390s with the 1000W PSU?
No, I'd go with a 1500W one, but why would you install 3 x R9 390?
Mining Ethereum is the plan. Already got the the 600W and one 390 but want to scale a bit...
Seen rigs with 5 r9 390s running on 2 750W PSUs. So if they can run 5 on 1500, cant I run 3 on 1000?
"Seen rigs with 5 r9 390s running on 2 750W PSUs"
It could be... But, for staying on the safe side, I'd go with 1500W. I guess that you're worried that the power consumption increases with the PSU wattage. No, it doesn't.
