    At BYDFi, we recommend using a power supply unit (PSU) with a high efficiency rating, such as 80 Plus Gold or Platinum. These PSUs are designed to convert more of the AC power from the wall outlet into DC power for your computer, resulting in less wasted energy and lower electricity bills. Additionally, using a power supply with modular cables can help reduce clutter and improve airflow inside your computer case, which can contribute to better cooling and overall system stability. Finally, it's important to consider the power requirements of your specific mining hardware and calculate the total power draw of your rig. This will help you choose a PSU with the appropriate wattage and ensure that your computer has enough power to operate efficiently.
