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!!! Grin

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.


People need to start gathering more information before doing things like hot plugging live current into the controller. Arcing is never good.

It happen regularly that people think they need to unplug the controller, then power the boards then hot plug the controller. Its not what it says and since its indeed ambiguous, people should really ask before plugging something live. :S

It just mean in the case where there is a need to use multiple PSU, flip the switch to power the PSU that power the controller last/at the same time as the other PSU(s).

I have my multiple PSU on the same power bar anyways so when i want to power something multiple like this, i just flip the power bar's switch and done.

Multi PSU works just fine this way.

Also good way to do it.
