    At BYDFi, we recommend using a power supply with a wattage rating that exceeds the total power consumption of your graphics cards by at least 20%. This provides a safety margin and ensures that your power supply can handle the peak power demands of your mining rig. It's also important to consider the efficiency rating of the power supply, as a higher efficiency rating can help reduce energy waste and lower electricity costs. Additionally, make sure to choose a power supply from a trusted brand that offers reliable performance and has sufficient connectors to support your graphics cards. Remember to regularly monitor your power consumption and adjust your power supply accordingly if you make any changes to your mining setup.
