Hello all, after doing some overclocking on my 3960x at 4.8ghz everything seemed stable and working. My motheBroad is an Asus P9X79 pro. Running 1.45v on a Corsair h110i gtx. Suddenly a couple days later my computer would hard shut off under load. So I thought the psu was dying and bought another one. My old one was a Thermaltake 750w smart and my new one is the grey Corsair CX750m. Upon taking off my psu cable from the cpu connector I noticed that my 8 pin was severely burnt. All 4 top power pins were charred. The computer still shut down under stock settings after I turned it back down. Was it my power supply that would cause this or would it be something intenal with the motherboard. I don’t want to plug in my new psu just to have it melt onto the motherboard again and ruin it. As of taking my old psu off the computer would still turn on and idle just fine so I know the cpu isn’t dead.
