Title: Help - Wires supplying power to GPUs keep melting Post by: jchi18 on December 17, 2013, 09:37:06 PM When I first hooked up my system, I connected two GPUs onto one power cord coming from power supply. After a little while, it melted and thought "oh shit, I shouldn't put two GPUs onto one wire." So I separated them thinking that was the problem. I just noticed that the wires to one of the GPUs is melted again. I am surprised at that. Does anyone know why this keeps happening?
I am using Corsair RM 750 power supply to power MB and 2 GPUs. When watching killawatt, I noticed that power was steady in the upper 600s like 670-690. I am using 2 sapphire 7950s. What am I doing wrong?

I would reseat the cards and check contact points.
