Has anyone had this issue:

I changed voltages like always (running my miners from 1000-1300Ghs). The miner hung up. When I tried to reboot, it didnt start anymore. One of the 4 PCIe sockets seems damages. As soon as I pull out the cable of this one, the miner will boot and mine with 3 of 4 asics, 75% power. As soon as I provide the 4th socket with a cable again, the miner wont boot.

I cant figure out, where the problem is and what I can do.. It cant be that a part of the miner "burns" when switching voltages lower?? As stated, I never pushed them higher than 1300 or lower than 1000.

I had exactly the same issue.
Have been running my SP20s at 1300Ghs for months.
A few weeks ago decided to implement voltage switching, to save some electricity during the peak hours by running them at 1000Ghs.
Coincidence or not - 2 weeks later 2 of my SP20s died.
I have burned elements, looks like the chokes have cracked.
