Topic: Mining rig burning smell! - page 4. (Read 632 times)
There is always a first time for every new miner, I remember buying a Chinese 2000 watts PSU for my AMD mining rig, this power supply killed 2 GPUs on my watch, since that time I've learned to always stay away from the cheap power supply.
Next time try spending more dollars on power supply, as a miner you can't cheat power supply for mining, you spend thousands on graphic cards and you can't buy a corsair PSU or other top brand? Get serious mate.
There seems to be a marketing trend for "mining PSUs" claiming 2kW.
There's no such thing as a mining PSU, and there are no 2kW PSUs for 120V.
You need 2 PSUs.
Hopefuly there was no colateral damage.

yeah a 2000 watt atx psu can not do 2000 watts 24/7/365
my guess is you pushed the psu too hard. Most 2000 watt atx psu are shitty fake chinese crap.
even a really good expensive 1600 watt atx like the EVGA 1600g or 1600p or 1600t can do maybe 1300 watts 24/7/365 or 75-80%
a cheap 2000 watt chinese garbage atx will do around 1400 watts for a while. and 1000 watts for a long time.
let us know the make and model of your psu and how much power you did on it. I am giving thanks for your follow up in advance.

Wrong section as this needs to be in the "Mining- Altcoins" section.
How did you work out you wattage spec? Did you allow for overhead?

Probably a bad quality psu or too small psu for your gpu setup.
Hard to say, because you did not mention any model info.
...aaand this is a altcoin mining rig. I asked mods to move it to the mining altcoins section.

Hi everybody,
i have a 10 gpus mining rig by 3 months and it is running 24/7 without any issues.
It has a 2000W power supply and it should be adequate according to the numbers of total wattage consumption, but today, i noticed a strage burning smell, so I immediately turned off the rig and the power supply was incredibly hot.
So i think if i hadn't been near the rig, everything would have burned out!
What do you think could have happened?
Do you think that the gpus could be damaged or only the power supply?
