It would be odd for a fan to draw more power than expected, although not impossible if the bearings are wearing out.
You might want to consider buying a replacement fan for ~$15 USD and see if the problem goes away.
Topic: Bitmain Antminer S7 Fan Connector Burnt Out Twice (Read 158 times)
Are the fan plugs tight on that port? It looks like a loose connection that is arcing. Used to have that problem on the Avalon 6s
I got this Antminer S7 used on eBay. I hooked it up and it was hashing at about 4TH for over a month, then one of the fans burnt out. I cleaned up the burn marks with alcohol and replaced the fan and ran it again and within a week the fan burnt out again.
Has anyone had this issue with the S7? Should I just relist it on eBay for parts?
Here's a pic of the burnt fan connector.
