Topic: Bitmaintech S1 Miner & Power Supply Fire (Nearly) - page 2. (Read 2209 times)
The pci-e plugs i was using had was one lead from the power supply to 2 lots of 6 pin plugs on the other side.
My new way i'm running it to be safe is using 2 new pci-e power ports but i'm only using 1 lead with one blade, One the opposite blade i've used 2 x 8 pin cpu power leads, They just have 4 black & 4 yellow leads on them, so i chopped of the adaptor on one end and manually wired in the leads as stated in the guide from bitmain.
So now each blade has its own lead and plug rather than try to use 1 lead to power 2 blades...
U'll see what i mean when i post the pic's!
I'm confused. The specs for that PSU state it has 4 6+2 PCI-e and 4 6pin PCI-e. The S1 only needs 2. Why aren't you using a single cable for each blade? You've got plenty of PCI-e connectors, and 4 separate plugs on the PSU for them. Why are you using, or trying to use, 2x8 pin CPU power leads?

Environment = Ventilated bedroom. Fan it came with plus an extra one i installed on the other end to pull the heat away..
Temps between 40 & 48 approx.
The melt down happened on the power supply side not the miner.

What sort of environment are they in? Do you have air moving around them? What kind of temps are you seeing on the chips?
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=en
So 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.
