sand it down and reconnect. bummer man.

Forgot to mention, I have an identical board that was DOA, so I'll be re-sodering the 24pin ATX socket this weekend, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again too.

After a year of running 5x 6950s, with the cards powered off of an OCZ 1250w and the mobo/cpu off a CM 500w, the ASUS P5N-T Deluxe refused to boot. Then I found this:



Obviously 5 cards was too much power draw from the 5 un-powered PCIe x1 ribbon cables.

I have some spare 4-pin molex connectors, is there a mod that'll let me connect power to the PCIe x1 riser cables?

I also have an identical board that was DOA, so I'll be re-sodering the 24pin ATX socket this weekend, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again too.
