Topic: My Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ caught fire - page 3. (Read 964 times)
Similar thing happened to me, but luckily I have seen the damage on my PSU cabal before it has started the fire. What went wrong for me was that, I put too many GPU's on one PSU. Because of that, there was too much stress on PSU's wires, which lead to damaging of wires. Maybe you have same problem. Maybe your PSU is not strong enough to support those 12 GPU's that you have.
For maximum safety, when you have multiple PSU for 1 rig, you have to connect all motherboard connectors, HDD, some GC and ALL risers on first PSU.
Secondary PSU should only be use to power graphic cards. If you split risers between PSU, you still have a risk...

No. A GPU and it’s riser should be on the same PSU.

This power indicated as "Extra power 3" must also be from PSU1.
Otherwise the connection is ok, I have this as well.

Hi guys,
Today it seems I fried my Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ mobo... Damage on the 12 connected GPUs I still have to assess
The connector of one of the 3 power supply cables to the mobo caught fire. Luckily I had the reflex to pull the power cord from the socket the moment I saw the flames... You can see the damage in this picture. The connector and part of the power cable have melted and the mobo is scorched.

Before replacing the mobo, I want to know what went wrong. I don't want to die in a fire because my rig acts up at night.
The wiring scheme:

The red line indicates the wire that caught fire.
What happened:
- I shut down my rig using remote desktop
- After a minute, I went to check if it was really shut down in the other room. I wasn't, it was on fire.
What I think happened: the mobo shut down PSU1, together with the connected GPUs to that PSU. However, somehow PSU2 failed to shut down, still powering the GPUs.
The GPUs tried to draw power from the mobo, which was only supplied by the one power line from PSU2 which got overloaded and caught fire.
Any thoughts on this?

I think that main problem is, that you are connected auxilliary power from a different psu. All power connectors on the motherboard (even the auxilliary) must be supply from ONLY one PSU.
I had a EVGA 1080ti hybrid catch fire and guess what EVGA won't warranty it. FUCK THEM. Email AsRock right away.
