Hi I have 2 S1 Antminers from bitmain & i was just wondering if anyone has had any problems with overheating (To the point of melting my power supply lead & Main Point)
I have a Strider Gold Evolution 1200w (80 Plus Gold)
http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=321&area=enSo i know it has plenty of power to push 2 x S1 miners, I plugged in 1 x 8 pin pci-e plugs which on the other end have 2 x 6 + 2 pin connection.
I put 1 x 6 pin into one miner & from the extension of that cable i put the other 6 pin plug into the other blade.
I did the same with the other blade with another plug.
So now i have both miners running along nicely for about 3 weeks and started to notice a weird smell coming from my miners & what had ended up happening was the plug in the power supply had started to melt & the lead to the miners plastic had all started to melt away.
Im going to take some pictures later today & put them up i just wanted to know if anyone else had the same thing if not started a fire??
I remember having the same problem when overclocking technobits hexc 20 gh miner so i had to downclock it to stop it from melting down.
