What would everyone suggest as a good backup power supply to replace the crap one that the Antminer U3 came with? Amazon links if they carry it preferred...

6A one from my rockminer guide.

I really think we are all going to have to switch to ATX computer PSU's with breakout boards for these U3's.
Dogie I bought one of the ones you suggested after my first stock PSU melted. The replacement one you suggested lasted 4 days (at least it didn't melt or catch fire, it just died completely).
I had previously had 3 of those also die while using them for my R-boxes (the 5A version) but I just replaced them as they lasted 2 months before dying on me and I got them cheap ($6 each).

They're the same ones I'm using, and none of mine are even warm... Send it back and get another one.

Hey Dogie,

Just an FYI I have two (2) Antminer U3's and I bought some replacement bricks with your referral (12v6a ones). After running for about 20 minutes on stock settings they died and my office reeks like burning electronics. Not in any way, shape, or form saying this is your fault in any way just wanted to give you a heads up.

Well thats.... stupid. Leave a negative review on Amazon so more people are made aware. Unfortunately with some of these generic lines they can use excellent parts, then swap to worse ones without changing the page.
