Hi guys...just wanted you fellow GTX 480 Sli guys to check your 24 pin connectors on your MB.

Seems the GTX 480s draw so much power..they melt the freaking power connectors.

2 of my power pins have melted. Computer has been acting funny...today it would not boot. I checked power connections and was stunned to see the plastic on the power connectors had melted.

I doubt it is a bad power supply and everything has a good connecion - PS is a Silverstone Strider ST1500 1500W. Cleaned out melted garbage and system rebooted.

Ughh I am a little miffed manufacturers didn't see this coming ..probably going to sell off my 480's now.

Sli'd these things are pretty much a fire hazard! Unless EVGA has fixed a way to dissipate the heat at the MB connector.

Here is another thread over at Overclockers discussing it.



I also posted this on my main Forums I visit...over at HWC.
