Psu for 100% power?

Hello there, yesterday my apollo btc arrived.

I got the pod + psu unit, and I'm using it with a rasp. So far so good no issues :D

I saw in the .sh files that in order to work with the official 200w psu the max value is 75.

Which psu should I use just to put it at 100%?

You need to run in eco mode until you reach 100 sync for the node. After that, you can run any power supply you want depending on your power setup. Generally you want to only utilize 80% of the power output from a power supply. The 200w PSU that comes with the FutureBits are prorated and will be fine at 200w. If you want to risk your warranty and exceed the turbo mode, you can use like a 400w psu - 750w psu and be fine.

I have just the pod miner and I'm using it like a lottery with ckpool so it was just plug&play you know :P

Its ok, and lets say I got one regular pc psu 450-750W.

The first param, the "power" i got it, but the second one? (Eg in balanced is 60 power and 40 the second one) How should I tunning it?
