This was on one of my CoinCraft Desk modules, which draws around 200W.

Replacing the connectors was a pain in the butt. It took me about 4 hours from start to finish.

It's entirely possible that it simply got 'cooked' by the heat sink rather than the current.

Molex (company making the pci-e power connectors) dictates the max spec per pin to 8A according to an earlier posted PDF, so 400W is outside even the most optimistic estimates! Not saying it wont work, but why are they even gambling with this when it would cost them a few bucks tops to use 2 of them.

Molex has several series of minifit jr connectors. Their HCS series is spec'd in at 13A per pin: http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=minifit_plus_connector_system&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction&parentKey=minifit_products

Re Molex at 13A-I wonder which companies PCIe connectors are rated this high. There is no info on EVGA1300 or Corsair pins as far as I could find.
