Honestly, that is way out of my comfort zone. Its defiantly not leaking any more. When I plug in the monarchs to the PSU I hear that electric buzzing sound like a short. Then the PSU kicks off only way I can restart the psu is to remove paper clip and put back in. The connections on the monarch look good and it does it on both my 525 and 700 monarch. I've mixed and match PSU to my other two monarchs and its not the PSU. Thanks for your help.

If the psu kicks off like you said and these are the ones that leaked, I would bet that one of the FETs blew when the board overheated and pulled too much power. If you have access to a multimeter, check the ohm reading on the PCIe connector(front row vs back row, not side to side) and see if it is nearly shorted (<.3 ohms). A good unit will ramp up to several k ohm and then start back down. The minimal ohms indicated a blown FET. I'd say to RMA it, but I have no idea when it would be taken care of with the current situation...

Thank you for that. I do appriciate the response. I'm thinking if Lightfoot's up to it I might be sending him some packages.
