My Gpu power connector melted..

[harounwilliam]

Hello Guys! i found out yesterday night my gpu connector was melted after i smelled something burning and immediately turned my pc off, this is the pictures i took for my connector and psu : https://pasteboard.co/Hbhl2yD.jpg & https://pasteboard.co/Hbhlus1.png
and i'm just looking for a connector that goes from psu to gpu directly 6pins from psu to gpu 8pins, hope you guys know a good quality connector that can handle the heat and won't melt. Thanks

Is the one that melted by chance a molex to 8 pin?
You cant just buy a random cable for your semi modular PSU, youll have to see if the manufacturer has more for sale. Or, get a new PSU.

What is the make and model?

those adapters are crap. the molex cables are not meant for that much power, hence all the melting.
you need a PSU that has the proper cable connections.
what are your specs?
what is your budget?
we can point you in the right direction

if you mean my pc specs then my specs is :
Mobo: GA-B75-D3V (rev. 1.0)
processor : i7-2600
Gpu : Msi Radeon rx570 8gb
ssd 240 & hdd 1tb
Ram: Patriot Extreme Performance Viper 3 1600MHz (2x4) 8GB
------------------------------
My budget is 0 right now to be honest i just wanna buy molex power connector that is not more than $30 and would be a good quality.

I dont believe Antec sells replacement cables for that unit.
Is molex the only thing you have available? I generally never recommend using adapters. Sometimes a case can be made for two 6 pin to one 8 pin adapters, but never molex to any PCIe, for this reason.

i would buy a $50 psu that's max if there's no cables? do you know any psu that is good and cheap?

this is the only "adapter" I could find in that price range (after rebate). the s12ii is an older platform but has all the juice you will need.

Its 5 over, but you wont need a new unit for a long time.

does that one has 8pins for the gpu? and is 520w enough?
and the fan on the psu is on the top not on the back like mine?

has a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin.
the budget has increased from the initial $30 the 620W unit is $48 if you feel you will need more power and it has 2 x 6+2 pin headers

brother the fan on that psu is on the top and my case has the fan hole in the back?

Cool thing about PSUs, you can flip them over to suit your case. Most modern units have stickers on both sides so you can still see the label either way.

That's great so if the fan is on the top i can flip it to the bottom and still i can put the screws at the back of case?

 

[Gam3r01]

Yep, some cases/older PSUs wont line up entirely right, so only 3/4 screws fit sometimes, but they are designed to work that way in compliance with the ATX formfactor.

That's good ok, i just found this on our Canadian website called "Kijiji" $55 brand new but i don't know if it's enough tho?

the evga B series are not good. at only 450W its a little low on the power too. the RX-570 suggests a 500W as a minimum.
newegg canada has the 520W S12II for the same price as the 450B.
