We would like to buy the SP10 back for analysis.

Regarding SP20, we had to date zero reports of similar issue.

Sounds like your mom gives good advice you should take it.

Yes problem with Halon bomb is it shit cans the rest of the GOOD equipment. If these guys like AM are planning to shove 5KW thru a board I would have to say NO THANKS!

 S1, S3 are solid had several pop but never ignite.

S5 same low power unit as S1-S3, SP20 being smaller but using the same power using 1/2 the power as SP10 leaves me feeling better.

Mom says: You look prettier when you don't say too much.

(I am really joking, but thanks for saying too much)

You could also do what AbuGarcia says, but those are pretty expensive alternatives. And consider you might not be there when it happens next time. Might want to look into a kit triggered by smoke. One integrated with a breaker box. (Halon has it's problems.)

I just bought a 15# halotron for events like this.  I would recommend the same.  you can get them NOS for around 120-150$shipped on ebay

Negative, had to pull from rack and extinguish with wet towel. Did not want to over react and kill the room.

Thanks for that HELPFUL comment sidehack, that would be best case to save the remainder of the board's functionality.

When we're talking about fire, is it safe to assume that this one self extinguished?

I've had two SP10s in my custody for hosting since about July, and this has happened to me three times (twice on one machine). One of them blew a VRM in January when the intake temps were about 14C. That grey bead to the uppper right corner is the only connection between your VRM/bank and the 12V rail, which means if you're worried just remove it and thew hole burnt section is now electrically cut off. Both my SP10s still work at reduced capacity.

What on Earth are you saying? How do you even know one thing about my preparedness?

Sometimes stating the obvious is necessary.
Try not to make a fool of yourself.

LOL You have an amazing ability to remote view my mind and my data room, WOW!

I did not say Thx GOD, because I was afraid something was going to destroy my place. Even it I had let her burn at best it would have caused the building to stink. But hey thx for the free anal-lysis it was really helpful.

Likewise I agree shit fails, the difference is will it catch a blaze. I have had several ants fry the difference being they popped, smoked, dead. This SP10, like the AM Turds, caught a blaze which did not extinguish without aid.

Thus FIRE STARTER!

Ok, so you want to play the part of being an intelligent human being? I got you covered.

First, [all!] Electronics fail.
Yes, even medical grade electronics that are critical for sustaining a life. (redundant electronics necessary)

Second, you seem "surprised" because an SP10 caught fire, you therefore seem to consider it an issue of quality.
You also stated "you were lucky" because you were there to pull the plug. (?) <--

I am guessing you aren't properly hosting said device to be worried about burning down the place where you host them.
Not taking appropriate precautions is the bigger issue to keep in mind.

---------------------

Next, I see your SP10 did fail, (like all electronics from all manufacturers eventually will).
The question is, how often do these fail when operated properly.
I don't recall seeing many SP10's failing in this board. So I assume they are safe enough.
But don't take that as a sense of false relief, instead be prepared for when they do fail.

You stated you have ~40 some Ant miners. I am guessing you haven't set those up either in case of a fire in one unit.
Again, you don't sound like you are prepared for that eventuality.

Recommendation --> STOP overreacting.
There are no hardware from all these manufacturers that are not liable to catch fire.
Avoid the ones from manufacturers that consistently do have known issues.

When they do catch fire, have a plan in place.
If you don't, you might have one ANT catch fire and take out the entire [ANT farm]/lot.
It is ten times better if you had a plan for when you aren't there to watch for a fire.

Thank you for reporting the issue with an SP10, but it sounds like you have alot more serious issues than just one box that recently caught fire.

While I can not rule that out, the 33 other machines in the room seem to suggest different. Obviously the board is NOW dirty, cap blew dust everywhere. Guess I need to pull a board tonight..  JOY!!

Really I would say the heatsink came loose/ lost contact to that section of the board. Since I was unable to speak to machine had to do a hard reset, the temp of that asic bank was probably reason for machine hanging. Lesson I suppose is after a few months of ops, you should tighten mount points. Now where is my SP10 manual, maybe their website..  HAHAHA  LMAO yep "The best CS and most professionally built".

Might want to shut your SP10's down for a quick inspection!

LOL even the peanut gallery?? S.A.D

I wish I was, thank GOD I was on site when it went up. There were visible flames as I reached to pull the plug.

Sorry for the technical diff..  had file permissions set wrong, vpn is under repair..

Looks like a suspicious link:



Most likely an attempt to discover IP's.

All they're seeing for now is "bitcointalk.org image proxy: Invalid image"

Now you are just being silly comparing an SP-T miner to an AM. Also use imgur for pics...yours are proxy blocked.

LOL Raskul, I am not buying it because they are over priced, which was "excused" because they were a "better" built piece of hardware. I NO longer believe that and in fact I would say these POS are REALLY EXPENSIVE AM Tube dangerous.







So anyone from SP-T see the problem?  This machine was running in a Rack with 29c intake temps, on 220v power.
