sounds very unlikely...which PSU do you have? Did you install the jumper?
re burning PCIe by plugging into controller-that's just pure trolling as controller does not consume enough power to burn a PCIe cable.
You might have burned a connector (maybe!) if you inserted it backwards, but that's it.
maybe you needed consultation or read more about it before trying something.
Jumper? Can you explain?
Using AWP batch 2, which comes with 2 less pci-e which kind of sucks.
And not burnt cable, but scorched 6 pin that I don't like to see. I think the prescribed method of having to power the hash boards then the controller is pretty damn stupid.
