If you smell even the slightest burning plastic, do not go to sleep.
One of my Canaan Avalon 3s miners power supply cable just melted, starting smoking but couldnt see it, only smell it. Took me a good hour to figure out which device was "burning" in my cryptocave.
Thank God I was awake...at 3 am.....
Contacting Canaan......
Yup, that place in the device run hot as hell, in the previous version I add some heatsink in order to avoid that issue in the long run. The airflow isn't there and it's a design issue.
I have 2 of them, the other one is fine.
Should I be worried about it?
Better to prevent... maybe this (the old one) could help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVN_iCB5cIY
I have no issue to open an break any warranty because I am not in a country that can use that.
Wow!!
This happened to an extension lead under my bed one time 😳
