I received two out of the four X-1's I ordered and the first one i plugged in sent a shower of sparks everywhere, so far the 2nd unit hashes anywhere from 9 to 90 Ghz regardless of what the Freq is set to, the errors do seem to drop a bit if it's set to 1000 or below..

So that's the second power supply we know to have gone bang. How many more, I wonder?

Funny how the image showing the PSU manufacturer label seems to have "disappeared". Fortunately Firefox's search history comes up trumps, I originally tried finding a "Sunshine AP187" back when the picture was posted. Here's what AliBaba has to say about it.

Perhaps that's Black Arrow's "surprise"...

Nice find. Looks like it's the same manufacturer for the x3 psus: http://m.alibaba.com/product/1936290059/Hot_selling_1430W_dual_output_5V.html

No surprise BA would charge twice what the manufacturer is asking.
