Just had my first casualty, thankfully only my MB. Got a message saying my usb was drawing too much power. Then two of the 5v power supply started melting the plastic on the MB.

Mine was an HD5870. Power no POST when installed in any PC.
It is costing me 400Mh/s plus shipping to manufacturer.
Do you run an open case? wondering if something fell in....

My first casualty was a fan failure on an "xtreme" edition Sapphire 5830. instead of waiting for Sapphire to fix it, I attached a fan to it.. it now runs hot, 85c, at stock gpu core clock with underclocked memory.. boo..

I only used the best parts for my rig so I didn't have a failure ever. I also have built PCs for customers professionally for years and only had 1 single failure and I told them not to run their gaming PC in an enclosed area that was like 140F like 5 times and they still didn't. Just buy only tested, respectable parts and run them properly and you won't have a failure.

Thats funny, I only used the cheapest quality parts and junk I had laying around. Then I bought a bunch of used crap off of eBay. The whole setup was profitable in a couple of months and is still running today. Got lucky on the run up to $30.
I only lost one $20 power supply so far. Still mining today.
Although, I did have to replace a fan on a 5830 that overheated just like the previous poster.
