Oh, I see. Seems kind of stupid that Corsair, OCZ and all those suppliers *assume* that the only application for their PSU is a PC.
I'd appreciate if you could point me to some thread that tells me how to "trick" the rest of the cables. I have a Corsair 750W and I read the manual but never did it say anything about connecting all of them.
However, I was planning to ONLY use the Molex connectors for my mining application anyway (I don't require the use of the 24-pin connector). Not sure if I'd be in trouble as well or whether the burning issue only happens when connecting the 24-connector cable alone...thoughts?
The PSU worked fine, it was the connecting wire that had a problem, it appears to have caught fire and spewed molten plastic all over the board.
Anyway, all you have to do is connect the 24 pin ATX connector along with the GPU connecting wires.
Not sure what are the other "connecting wires" you are referring . My mining board will only have molex for a fan but that's about it.
