Question PCI Cable in Motherboard OC 4 Pin Connector / what have i done

[PrvtCowboy]

Hi Guys,

all 3- 5 years i upgrade my pc myself.

i just bought asus x670 p Wifi with 7800x3d to ugrade my old intel.


It was late and i was stressed. i Found an "extra" 4 pin ( atx-12v-2) next to the normal one and connected a pci cable. Yes it fit perfect... -.-

After starting zero fans were running - but the pci cable smoked / melted fast and i cut off power. Atx / PCi plug burnt together a bit. Cbale 5 cm burnd together (only + / power)

Plug them off, fixed burnd cables and startet. Pc is fast and running.


But if i want to do a restart, it wont work. Have to push power / force off when he is trying to restart after a while.

Armoury crate update not working. Bios update not working. Sometimes 1 long 3 short beeps (Gpu?)


Question: Did i break something? Or do i have seperate Problems? Customer Support / warranty is gone i think ;-)

Thank you guys! Sry for my english.

regards PrvtCowboy

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the make and model of your PSU and it's age? You might want to also include images to show the extent of the damage as well as the cable you used in order to add to the connectors for your board.

Hi, thank you!

Its an Corsair TX850W Model CMPSU-850TX, i think 2009.... And yes, the plastic is very old, i needed to fold very hard / 90 degrees, no space under aio. something broke? perhaps that was the main problem...?
