Oh and I should mention that the PSU that this happend to was a Corsair AX860 which is likely made by Seasonic. I don't know the gauge of the wire they use but if I had to guess I'd say it 18 AWG.

Strange :| I'm running a full rig @ ~570GHs off a TX850M and she seems cool as a cucumber.

But like I said I bet you did not make the mistake of running BOTH 6pin connectors off of the same main PSU 8pin PCIE feeder (talking about the modular plugs on the PSU itself) Essentially it's a splitter that converts 8pin to TWO 6pin. That is what I was using and that's a big no no. Check your total power usage and feel to see how hot the cables feel at the PSU end. That is where it will most likely melt the plastic around the pins.

I also observed a funny phenomenon where the system slowly overclocks itself. Essentially the resistance on the h-cards at the R02 resistor lowers itself with time. Don't ask me how this happens, but it may be somehow the way I pencil modded them? I dunno, either way I'm hoping that it will remain stable for now.

Anyways, wrong thread for this discussion.

Yes, that's true!! The R02 resistor lowers itself with time. I guess the hot carbon sitting in that resistor becomes more "resisting" over time?? I've consistently seen this effect as well. I used HB pencil. A good experiment is to use H2 or harder pencil to see if it has the same or worse effect.

Thanks for confirming that for me. I thought it was all in my head Tongue

lol I too am using HB as recommended by a guide here on the forum. I have a wide variety of pencils available so I guess next time I'll try something harder. The problem may be getting a H2 or harder to actually remain or stuck on the resistor.
