Hi everyone.

Please forgive the noobness of my enquiry, but I just bought an Antminer S3 to see if it was worthwhile investing in bitmining.  I looked at the guides posted, but managed to melt the power cable within 3 days of setting up the rig (which worked fine up to that point)!

I had read that two sets of y cables plugged into the antminer were preferable to the one set, but the Corsair CS550M only came with one 8 pin to 6 pin PCIE cable and I thought I'd give it a try.  The 8 pin socket on the PSU partially melted, and the cable is toast, but the PSU still works.

After reading some advice on another thread, I bought two male single 6 pin PCIE cables to 6 pin female, however I then found the Corsair CS550M has 3 female 6 pin sockets.  And there don't seem to be any 6 pin female to female cables on ebay or wherever.

If anyone could offer any advice, alternatives or suggestions, I would be grateful.  Thanks in advance
