24 Pin P1 Connector Wires getting extremely hot

3volvedcombat · Jul 30, 2010

Well first mistake was

Trying to power 6 9800gt greens on a motherboard with just a 24 pin to power all that card.
Yes essentially you think about it, your power supply should handle it.

but if a pci-e slot takes 75 watts and i assure you that 9800gt is ganna be using 75 watts.
imagine just having the Motherboards 24 pin consisting of 5v-3.3v-12v wires and some grounds.
75x6

Thats at least 350 watts just for video cards, Then add in the ram and your controller chips.
thats another 30-50 watts so just threw a little 24-pin connectors with some 12v wires you were trying to pass. 450-500 watts maybe.
add in the wattage from your p4-p8 connector supplying your processor
thats 600 watts

alot alot alot..... you cant split all those watts threw motherboard connectors. So?

Basically thats what did it i think did in the psu.

there maybe 24pin on it but only 2 are for the 12v rail and that is what is used for the video cards. And a few (very few) of the other chips use the 3.3v or 5v so that is 350w+ for just the video cards running on 2 12v lines and ~29 amps atleast. And keep in mind that the 9800GT greens draw more power then 75w.also 75x6 is 450

so if there taking 80w each(alittle more then the 75 rated for) 80x6=480w and ~40a. that is alot of fucking power being pulled from 2 little pins

ASUS Junk, just because you had a bad experience or two doesn't mean it's junk. ASUS has provided me with some of the finest and best products I've had till today's date.

Sad news guys!! I destroyed one of the traces on the mobo (one that connects the p1 connector to the mobo) while trying to desolder the P1 connector.
:cry:

Lesson learnt: Should have used a professional rework soldering station with a good solder sucker . Should have experimented with a scrap board than tryin on this!

Got 6 9800GTcards just idling :cry:

Damn dusty, I don't got anything laying around to send you dude.

Shit happens though man, don't sweat it, we all gotta make mistakes in order to learn from them heh? When do you expect to be back up?

dustyshiv · Sep 15, 2010

Im lookin for a mobo with at least 4 pci-e slots...Ill post up on the BST forum

Chicken Patty · Sep 15, 2010

Ok bro, good luck. If I was rich bro I'll personally go deliver one to you myself! Good luck my friend! :toast:

dustyshiv · Sep 15, 2010

Cp,

I was sad and frustrated at myself a bit. But then I asked myself the question...would something like this stop me??

I learnt so many things during this ordeal and the mobo did its job for 8 months solid 24/7 wid 4 vid cards.

Its all good!!

Thnks for being there Bro!!
