Thanks for the input everyone. Unfortunately I don't have any extra PSU's at the moment. I do have another 1300W EVGA running 2 Antminers, but I like to stay under the 80% rule for safety. Unfortunately, that means my other 2 Antminer S1's are now powered off.
I'll give the RMA a shot - thanks for the advice!

Just do the RMA on the warranty... I've had great success sending in dead power supplies to evga for a replacement.

I would definitely RMA it if I don't have to keep any antminers switched off because I dont have any PSU left. If I have other PSUs, I will see if the problem is with Antminer itself. Also, I don't think anyone's gonna suggest you try to use this faulty PSU anymore even if you have plenty of cables and pcies left.

+1. EVGA had a 2 day turnaround on a cheap 600W Bronze I sent them. It helps I live 10 miles from them but the RMA was very easy - no hoops to jump through.
I had a Seasonic 750 melt a cable like that when connected to my BFL Single. I still don't know if it was the Seasonic unit, the cable or the BFL ASIC.

I guess the compressed air was the culprit .. since it's cold when it expands and I dunno what humidity levels were there.
The things get hot when they have a resistance load to dissipate the heat, in this case, the cable was the weaker link.
If you spray then up, give them some time before you plug them back in. I usually vacuum them and dust them up using a paintbrush.
Also, make sure you're grounded (just in case) to avoid damaging parts by static electricity.
You can use the other ones onward, no worries. But take more care when you clean them up.

Why don´t you just open it and rewire a new 6-pin connector?
Opening it voids the warranty. EVGA is good with RMAs but they don't want users trying to service things.
