Re: Themaltake Toughpower 1200W Gold burnup after 30 hours powering Avalon A6
I've just had a brand new Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Gold that I purchased yesterday burn up (literally!) after powering an Avalon A6 miner for about 30 hours. Luckily I was in the room when it went and smelt it before it actually burst into flames.
Wondering whether I just got a bad power supply (seems to be my luck) or if it just wasn't up to the job. Thoughts?

Go on ebay and buy if you can find the butteryfly labs PSU that were meant to mine 24/7 they are beefy.

I got one for my home computer.
Why would ANYONE buy ANYTHING with Butterfly Labs name on it?? No way to warranty or fix their shit anymore............
Just buy brand name PSU's that have MORE than enough wattage to do what you need?? Simple
