Clean everything out and get an ant specific pesticide.

Clean everything out and get an ant specific pesticide.

They are too many of them, i used a air compressor + vaccum. But many of the ants are still inside. Im afraid to open my psu it might void a warranty. I got many dead ants on the circuit like its shocked by the electricity.

By the way, why they target my psu? + its very hot inside my psu because the fan is not spinning (RM750)

Get something you can use to kill the ants to make sure they don't come back?

I would look as to where the ants are actually coming from maybe keep eye on it for a few hours as they might be climing up your frame from somewhere else and seeing its warm and they are climbing up and getting inside it. Or you got an ants nest somewhere in the house and the vibration from the antminers are causing the ants to come out and  move about try the ant in another room if still ants coming out of it then must have some sort of nest in miner it self.

I know it sucks, but you HAVE to see the irony there.

We had a firewall catch fire once.  ;D
