I suppose you mean the 6 pins on the cable side that connect to the back of the PSU ? or the pins on the back of the PSU ? would you show a picture ?
are you sure its fried or you mean its missing a pin ? because if you mean the cable , its normal that its missing a pin ( where you see the X )
If not needed, the cable could be left out. If the cable is needed you could get another/replacement cable.
However, if the PSU arrived with the cable and fried pin - return the PSU to seller/vendor.
There is no idea as to what happened to cause that fried pin and the entire PSU will always be suspect.
Now if you fried the pin then that is a different matter. What did you do? May or may not be recoverable.
But the problem remains the same: the PSU cannot be trusted and using it may damage other components.
If that has not already happened.
Is the one on the bottom left side of the power supplyYou should rma it to Corsair , rmi Units have up to 10 years warranty, will you post a picture of the fried pin ?

Gtx 1080 ryzen 7 3700x 16 bg ram corsair rgb proIf it was used for mining rig or so , he may have been out of pcie connectors and decided to use an adaptor like molex 4pin to pcie connector , which overloaded the 12vpin here
sine you have bought it used then I guess you dont have a warranty , what are your current system configuration?
About the mining thing i dont think he used it for mining cuz he dont have any rigs or multiple graphics cards to sell.If it was used for mining rig or so , he may have been out of pcie connectors and decided to use an adaptor like molex 4pin to pcie connector , which overloaded the 12vpin here

We dont have corsair in our country and he have the corsair warranty.and most probably that seller bought it used , because why didn't he send it back to corsair , these units have up to 10 years of warranty
Im my country this psu is around 200$all i am saying is that you are risking a 1500$ pc to save around 60$ price difference between used and new , it not worth it .
He sad that he used it for gtx 970 and i5 gen7.all i am saying is that you are risking a 1500$ pc to save around 60$ price difference between used and new , it not worth it .
even if he was honest , that psu experienced a faliure , i wouldnt trust it to power an expensive system like yours safelyHe sad that he used it for gtx 970 and i5 gen7.
I dont have the power supply yet but im gonna verify this.just out of curiosity , check the sata and 4 pin molex cables that come with this psu , how many have you got with this used unit ?
and check them for charring and damage and tell me what you observed
