The power supply is a Seasonic 860W platinum, which comes with 18 AWG pcie cables (I thought I wasn't skimping
). Although it appears the modular connector failed rather than the wire. I'm using 2 of these power supplies per SP20, with each PCIe power connector connected to its own separate cable from the power supply. I guess I need to dial down my voltage/power settings from the factory defaults.Quote

Power is cheap so I wasn't worried about efficiency, which is why I didn't change the settings any. Seems those are too high for the PCIe power connectors. Isn't the 6-pin PCIe power connector specification 150W max to begin with?
been there seasonic connectors melt. it is why I knew what to ask you when you had the problem.
you have 2 options down clock or pay for better cables. Cablez sold some to me for my seasonic 1200.
16 gauge.
