Title: ASICMiner 30-38 Gh/s Cube comes with cheap/defective Fuses
Post by: DMac66 on February 24, 2014, 12:24:39 AM
One of my cubes burned up today. 

The fused simply melted into the cube and did not cut off the power.  The fuse was just a bump of black plasticky ash when I found it.  One of the 12v rail plugs was melted too.

I suggest you buy better fuses for these cubes, especially when overclocking.

Luckily, the cube was on a composite shelf, which was charred black, otherwise it would have started a fire.  The Corsair CX-600 PSU was shot also, sucks, all due to a defective fuse.

Just a heads up.

You guy have to setup extra cooling FAN @ front of CUBE to cooling all "jack" of PCI-E and fuses they getting hot all time.

I realize that my 10 cubes killed all Fuses before extra FANS added.

Trying to understand the above. You added another fan to the front of the Cube as a pull fan?

Just curious, were you overclocking your cubes or running them stock?

Couple of my Gen 1 blades did the same thing, fire hazard.
