Re: Antminer U3: Decentralization continued. Order now, Ship on Nov. 5th
If you're using the original power supply it will melt! Be warned... Mine took almost 30 hours before it finally melted...
At the moment I'm running with a normal raspbian image where I installed cgminer. Isn't hard to achieve. You only need enough juice

TOO RIGHT!!!!
WARNING MY PSU THAT CAME WITH THE U3 MELTED WITHIN A DAY OF RUNNING WITH A VOLTAGE SETTING OF 0800 ( SO BE WARNED IF RUN ABOVE 0795 FOR VOLTAGE THEY MAY MELT AND / OR CATCH FIRE!)[/color][/color]
mine started to sizzle and melt after 16 hours at the 0800 voltage setting.
I strongly suggest that no one use a voltage setting higher than 0795 with the stock PSU
I ran that one for 24 hours with no problem. If anyone runs into a problem at that setting please let us know.
EDIT: Well I guess it doesn't matter if you turn down the voltage a bit from 0800, my second PSU went out running at a voltage of 0795 after a day and a half or so. This one went out spectacularly, sounded like something from a cheap movie, I have never heard an electrical noise that loud before (while it did melt part of the case for the PSU I unplugged it before there was any actual fire).
I don''t know if lesser voltages even are safe with these, it may just take longer for them to go out. At this point, for safety's sake, I think it is prudent to simply assume any PSU that came with a U3 is defective and should not be used.
