Killed PSU rail?

I clocked my Asus P8P67 PRO & i5-2500K using the auto-OC-tuner in the UEFI configuration screens. After this, I started getting delay write failures in Windows, so I decided to reset everything back to defaults. Everything seems back to normal, however the power rail going to my SATA optical drive (LITE-ON) isn't working. I put my optical drive in another computer to make sure it was still ok, and it works fine.

Any ideas on how I killed this power rail? Any other tests I should run? I've already removed power from the PSU and let it sit for a little while.

The PSU is a Thermaltake Toughpower 650W
 
Try a different plug that's on that power rail? If it doesn't work... you probably have to RMA it. I think it might be a blown fuse for that particular rail.
 
Do you have a multimeter you can use to check if there is any voltage going to those connectors? I believe that PSU is actually a single-rail unit, but that particular chain of connectors may have been damaged.
