I think many miners are still safe at for a little while. For some reason the hash rate gets high over the weekend then gets back lower after the weekend. I don't know why? If I had miners, I would keep them on 24/7 as long as I could.

Here's what pisses me off:
Bitmain says the following regarding their S4, "Power line not included. You may look for one line with no less than 16A in your local market."
Well, I've searched the WORLD WIDE WEB for a C14 Power cord and cannot find one rated higher than 15 amps.
WTF?
Pretty sure they made a typo and meant 16Awg. If you're running on 240v you need an 18AWG cord, ND if you're running 120v use a 14AWG cord.

So, a 15 AMP should be fine. I'm still getting a 14 AWG rather than 16 or 18 AWG.

Pretty sure they made a typo and meant 16Awg. If you're running on 240v you need an 18AWG cord, ND if you're running 120v use a 14AWG cord. I bought this one: Amazon.com: Tripp Lite Heavy Duty Power Cord, 16A,14AWG (NEMA 5-15P to IEC-320-C15) 8-ft.(P019-008): Electronics http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091F8GP6/#It's a replacement for a heavy duty server room style UPS. When i got it, the packing slip said 16A but the packaging the cord was in said 15A. Anyway until I received that my S4 ran fine for 2 days with a standard el-cheap-o 10A PC power cord that I had laying around in a box in my closet, so I wouldn't stress about it. The 15A is nice, though! So stiff you can hardly bend the thing :-) the A/C cord that came with this PSU is really beefy too: Amazon.com: EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2 ATX12V/EPS12V 1300W 80Plus Gold Power Supply 120-G2-1300-XR http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00COIZTZMI bought that to power my S3's -- It is awesome in every detail! Hands down the best power supply I have ever owned :-) thanks, -dave

The average over the last 10 blocks (including this one) is 4:40, which is well below the expected time at present.

I have seen the one you purchased on Amazon. It is a kettle cord. A C-15 made to fit a C-16 connector. It is used for higher amperage appliances. It also has a valley in the C16 connect which does not allow a C-13 cord to plug into it. However, a C-15 or C1-3 cord can plug into a C-14 connect. The S4 has a C-14 connect. I'm just going to purchase Trip-Lite 14 AWG C13 10 feet cord for the S4. Uses the same gauge wire as the Trip-Lite C-15 8 feet cord you purchased from Amazon. Thanks for your description. David

Hope they do anyway i got 3 more i wanna upgrade. Seems they have some pretty cool products coming out soon. https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=0002014081313175081722f1GeUO063F JT

David Something else yall need to remember is the length of the cord. A 10 ft cord will get hotter and pull more amps than a 3 foot cord. All my miner power cables are 3 ft or less with an iso bar behind them. JT

Unfortunately, bitmain said (in this thread I think) that the upgrade kits have been discontinued! I'd like them to go back on their word, but seems unlikely.
