The PSU is a Seasonic X-1050 and mobo is an MSI 790FX-GD70
I was running 3x 5870's which were mining until yesterday, when I smelled burning. This has happened before and I'm on my second X-1050 (got my RMA two days ago). The 12v connector to the mobo just melted. This is the third time this has happened. The first time, the 12v wire burned out and they sent me a replacement cable. I should also note that the modular connection on the PSU itself also got partially melted. The second time, I got sent an RMA PSU and another replacement cable. Now this is the third occurrence.
Is it because I'm pulling too much power from my video cards? You would think an X-1050 could take this, but Seasonic says it might be my motherboard.
