Question Aorus x470 PCIex 1_1 melted ?

[DyingBoar]

Ive built my pc 5 years ago and had no issues but recently upgraded my cpu to a Ryzen 7 5800x3d and would smell burning when it boots up but everything runs fine. Today I took my motherboard out to check if anything is visibly damaged and found the back of the PCIex 1_1 port was charred. Any reason why this could be?

Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

the back of the pciex 1_1 port was charred.

Picture of the damage?

"PCIex 1_1 port was charred"

1. Metal dust?
2. Faulty PSU/GPU
3. GPU Model?

You can post imgur link on forums

No GPU?
Anyhow I would recommend for a RMA, but there is a bit of catch22 situation cause the manufacturer might decline RMA telling you had faulty components or PSU.
I would suggest you to wait until a mod or admin or any higher geek responds to your thread. Suggestions never hurt ya!

you use riser?
After searching online I came to know that both MSI and Gigabyte rtx3060ti have faulty vram and capacitor issue.

Which 750m? Since there are several, with varying quality. E.g CX-750m, TX-750m, CS-750m.

That's pretty wild. I wouldn't trust any motherboard that is melting. Weird smells are typically a psu issue. I wouldnt use the pc without significant change to avoid further damage.....
