I has recently sold my setup and the gentleman that bought it has blown either 3 or 4 boards within 2 weeks... he said all in the same spot!!!! ( you can see the damage) the setup is as follows Asrock h81 pro btc ax1200 g1840 cpu 8gb ram 80gb ssd Gigabyte r9380 4gb cards non powered risers. I had been runing this setup for over 6 months with no issues. Any ideas as to why he keeps blowing them? http://imgur.com/v9BLWGv |

Use powered USB risers so the cards pull power straight from the PSU and not from the motherboard. |

Or maybe he didn't connect the molex cables to the motherboard (which are not needed with powered risers). |

i have made 100's of h81 board rigs and never once had a bad one. It has to be the non powered risers if i had to put $ on it. Al li use is powered risers.

NEVER use a MOLEX power connector on H81 BTC PRO
ALWAYS USE POWERED USB RISER ... use molex and board burns.. !

same thing, using non powered riser with my gpu, ever had any issue, but i always run my gpu at 140watt maximum...
he probably abused the maximum load of the motherboard
