Mine a Seasonic Prime 750 Plantium also popped...
Interesting fact the reseller said that the units have been all removed from market for no reason given.

He just payed back the money..no new units available atm. something must be gone completely wrong at Seasonic.

Very simple they insist on using 18 gauge wire.

I have melted 4 or 5 jacks on seasonic psus.

It is not about overloading as I melted the pcie jacks pulling 190 watts.

I don't use seasonic for mining anymore.

I like evga p2.

Rosewill quark is good.

Some corsair are good.
I have two prime titanium psu a 750 and a 850.

For a multi card rig, the safest is one card one, one separate molex power feed from the power supply.

I only double up the HDD and one GPU.

Yeah I melted that psu exactly like that.

USE EVGA p2's they work better

Dosent have to do with PSUs...he clearly overloaded his Molex line with 3 or 4 riser cards.

First thought as well. I only ever put 2 cards per SATA/Molex cable.

some day ago i got a problem in my zcash rig, only 1vga showing from total 4vga, can't showing my 3vga, trying to check anything, any cable its woking perfect, then im trying to put my vga directly on motherboard not using pcie riser, and the vga normally working perfect.
so im check the power supply and i found this

1 of my pcie (sata pin connector) get charred and brokken after i force to take the cable, and the cable is burned out.
im still happy other pin stil working perfect.

for all miner i recomendation some instruction :
1. dont use 1 pin cable for supply more than 2 sata pcie riser
2. don't use low power supply to supply pcie riser, even if you use other big power supply to give power vga.

Thanks
