Hi,

got one of my Apollo's PCIE connector overheated this night.
2x Apollos powered by a Corsair VS550 80 PLUS White, both in Balanced mode.
Both Apollos ran for 1.5 years with no issue.

Does any one of you already got this? Do you think I can use the last PCIE connector?
Thanks for advice.

Wow never seen one that bad. This is why I stress to always check your connectors once in a while to see if they are hot, and to never run off one plug if your using a third party PSU.

You can use the other connector, but I would not run it past eco mode otherwise you risk doing the same thing to that plug.

thanks for advice. Yeah I made an error having only one connector used in Balanced Mode with third party PSU. As you can see in image, second plastic line of my plug totally melted!
I switched my second Apollo back to Eco mode and will order guaranteed FutureBit PSU!
