So I mine with 2 rx 480s in my gaming rig. Already paid off one card so I've been pleased so far. I noticed an electrical burning smell the other day but couldn't find any melting plastic in my rig, so shrugged it off. Last night the burning came back while I was playing a game so I closed it and realised that claymore had stopped mining too ( playing on one card while the other mines ) went to restart claymore and then PC turns off and refuses to boot. So I have another look and sure enough my 24 pin power connect is fried on the 2 12v pins.
I thought AMD had solved this issue?
Either way looks like I'll need a new power supply as it's semi modular. Unless I can replace the fried cables and the 24 pin socket probably a new motherboard as well since the pins have oxidised.
Gonna be pestering AMD on this one.
