I looked at a few possibilities other than the manufacturer. They seem a bit hard to find, except at alibaba, which I'm a bit leery of, it's like rolling the dice, sometimes you get a fantastic deal, other times you get screwed. They don't seem to have much inbetween there.
I'm going to give the manufacturer a couple of days or so to respond, It could be just a timing issue.
Though I have to say, I appreciate the advice, even though it seems like I'm dismissing it. I'm not dismissing it.
I'll continue the search. hehe. For a future thing though, I have a rental house that the renters just left, I'm thinking about re-doing the electrical with a ton of 220* outlets and just fill that place up with miners eh? hehe. Then I can find loads of psu's that will do what I need, and with less heat and in a few cases, more cost effectively.
but for now I gotta stick with the 110.. for a little while yet.
That got brought up because when I went searching for psu's I found loads of them that would work great, but all 220.
Hell in the end I may try the corsairs out on it anyway, depending on what else happens.
'Cause I'm curious now.
Side note: I've done all kinds of crazy modding/mistreatment of miners and so far I've killed tons of psu's but not one board or chip. Someone needs to think that through when talking about what environment variables a miner can or can't function under. The psu will crap out long before the miner in most cases.
oh to clarify, I did NOT mistreat this s4, it was stock speed, etc.. We did have a helluva series of storms though... N. texas near ok border.. so if you heard about tigernados, or some such.. yeah.. it's like that. I assume it was repeated power failures in the the middle of the night just too many times for the poor little guy to take.. or too frequent in a row perhaps. Not sure.. storms make me sleep heavier. hehe.
*the ref to 110 and 220 is simply because so many americans are used to calling 120 and 240 110 and 220, and what can I say.. I'm 'merikan.
