Hello everyone,


I suppose I have myself to blame for this - clearly the termination was imperfect. See pic below - I discovered a melted connector on my SFF watercooled cravo, pins correspond to +12V. I suppose it can be due to either:

  • HDPlex GAN PSU issues (unlikely, I have another PSU like this in a 24/7 server application)
  • Significant power draw on motherboard 12V headers - possible, there is a water pump, fan controller, and shunted A2000 on the PCIe slot
  • Imperfect termination - highly likely, the other 12V pins show no damage

My question is - the damage was present on the 24 pin connector on PSU side. Would you consider it safe to re-use this GAN PSU? Or it's destined for the scrap heap?


Thanks!
