Hello,
I decided to run my two S5 miners for a bit again, got them all connected to my evga 1300 (110V), but after running them for a couple days, I came back and when I touched the power cord going from the UPS into the wall, it was cooking hot, the shielding was soft and sticky. So I quickly shut everything off.
What would cause this?
Cheap power cable?
Wall outlet not providing enough power?
I really don't want to try a different cable before I know what caused that to happen, since I work 10-16 hours a day, and don't want to start an electrical fire.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well most likely it would be cheap cable. But even cheapest ones are pretty cold in my case (running 1000W+) so best bet is to try with better cable first, see if it'll make any difference.
