For all the miners using Pandaminer or are thinking about buying Pandaminers:

This is something you should know!


Not so long ago I've bought myself 10 Pandaminers and began mining ETH. I have ordered these together with the PSU's that were included.
About a month ago I was working on my computer when suddenly I noticed a burning smell coming from my mining racks. And went to look what was going on... One of my Pandaminers started melting at the PSU sockets.

Then today, my fire-alarm went off and when I hurried my ass to see what was going on, another Pandaminer was starting to do the very same thing!

This is what was waiting for me THE FIRST TIME:

And this is what happened with ANOTHER Pandaminer today:

So for all the miners using Pandaminer:

BE VERY CAUTIOUS!

Check your PSU wirings daily and certainly at night before going to sleep!
Fire-alarm is a good investment! It can save your house!


Personally I'm not going to work with Pandaminers anymore in the future due to earlier problems with Pandaminers arriving hugely damaged and lot's more manufacturing issues...

Anyone having an idea what would cause this wires to melt. SHOOT!
I'm thinking maybe the PSU's included in the Pandaminers are worthless...
