The oem psu is bad.

what's wrong with the OEM psu?

it has 5 pcie cables that come from the unit.  they split into 7 cables.

and the unit has 8 gpus.

try and run  8 gpus with 5 cables = overload and melt downs.

no one should use the psu for the panda miner it should be used on a low load item  800 watts max that would be 160 watts for each of the 5 cables that may be okay

The PSU they sent with batch 4 are different than the early ones.  They now have 9 separate legs from the PSU, and ten 6-pin connectors.  So only 1 leg has a Y-split, and you don't even need to use it since the Panda only needs 7 connections.
