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.
top notch chinese quality!!!

at a minimum, you are not being fair.
all iphones are being manufactured in China as well-do you have complains about the quality of these?
I suggest to complain about particular cases, not unfairly generalizing, but, hey, say what you want, of course.
well he said he hot plugged his controllers he may have killed them off doing this.
The problem is the instructions can be interpreted to do just that.
My first thought was that would work if you had 2 psu's I then said fuck that can't be right. I will plug every pcie cable then turn the psu's on. If the hash rate is fucked up I will reboot.
Much more sound to power up the gear that way.
