Well, I got a new PSU in the mail, plugged in all of my cables, turned it on and it started smoking out of the molex connector (my PSU is modular). Not like a puff of smoke but a steady stream for about 10-20sec. I was a little freaked out. But being the dumbass that I am I plugged everything back in (except to that molex connector) and it looks like its running fine. Am I risking a lot here? It seems like it just shorted out that specific connector not the entire system, not like that makes me feel anybetter. I need advice please. (I should have gotten a pic, dammit)

(PS I didn't post the PSU model because its irrelevant and I don't want comments like "That PSU is crap" etc. Its a generic full-sized ATX 720W modular power supply.)
(PSS I'm using it right now and I'm gonna run PRIME95 for about 5 hours)
