swalker23 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My 24 pin connector on my PSU melted. I'm not sure if the PSU is still safe to use after my mobo melted it. I have an xtra cable to replace it from a previous RMA. It was an issue that I have 3x 570 and the board was using to much current or my gpu's, don't understand all the technical details I read. The system ran fine with 1 card and no problems but in tri sli is when it happened. It passes the paper clip test but for the life of me I can't find my psu tester to give a more accurate reading. I'm in the process of RMAing my mobo and was just wondering will it be safe to use my PSU. It was a brand new one from RMA I received almost 3 weeks ago. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j37/swalker23/DSC01197-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Those MOBOs are notorious for this type of failure. For that type of power draw, users at the EVGA forums have recommended a mod to help reduce the current pulled thru the 24pin connector. Most likely your PSU is OK if it's passing the paperclip test.
