Some says it's because I have lousy PSU.

What would be a good PSU for a mining rig with Asrock BTC and 6 RX 480 cards?

Should I use USB powered risers or ribbon powered risers?

Powered risers or unpowered risers?

Should I have one PSU for one rig or 2 PSUs for one such rig?

1300W gold, or 1000W but you have to keep an eye on consume, underovolt and maybe under clock.

I've always used USB powered risers and they work just fine

What type and rating of psu do you have ? , seems like you just upgrade your gpu and forget the psu ,if this right then you didn't read much about mining , before you try you should read and search and make accurate calculations....but you have learned the lesson goodluck with your next attempt.

Sometimes hardware just fails. When you consider these cards were not designed for the 24/7 grind that is being placed on them the fact that they are as reliable as they are is pretty good.

P.S. If this was an RX 470 it is expected behavior. They are known to have a 10-12% failure rate within the first 30 days of hardcore mining.

Strange, I haven't heard about this.

Nor I, and I have a fair amount of RX470's where if it was 10-12% as you indicate I would have surely noticed by now. I have been running some of them since they were launched and I cannot recall every having an issue with either them or the 480's.

I have some 470 too and after 6 months of mining I didn't have any problem.
Maybe I've been damn lucky, but I think that 10-12% is not a real rate

I was typing and doing stuff. Then I hear a boop sound. And one of my computer is death.

It seems that the videocard explode though I do not know for sure what's exploding.

RIP.

It's not a rig. I put a video card on one old computer to test mining.

Well....

It blows up.

I wonder what should we do to prevent this from happening?

Is there a software that monitor GPU temperature and turn off everything when it exceeds something?

yes but the lack of info does not help us.

were you using and amd rx 480 or rx 470?

msi afterburner has shut down settings

if you were mining with claymore 8.1 for eth he has shutdown settings. for hot rigs

if you used smOS for watching all your amd rigs.

he has shut down settings
fan settings
temp readings
