As an alternative to the power boost, there is a hard mod you might want to consider, but it would void warranty as it solders a 4 pin connector to the back side of your 24 pin, providing a second source for the 12V. see

This sounds like an incident caused by the power supply and not the cause of a faulty board, which is probably why evga eu didn't handle it. Did you contact your power supply manufacturer regarding this incident and the damage that resulted from it.

Hi,

I do show a support ticket from last November where a Power Boost was offered but you claimed you had no open slots for it and chose to continue using the configuration as-is. I do show that you submitted a support ticket just before making this forum post which has already been answered.

Asked for some support from evga eu about a month or so ago and was shrugged off saying it not their problem when my computer started turning off under high extensive loads now today when I went to use the computer it would not start. The two yellow wires from the 24pin are burnt at the motherboard end and part of the 24pin connector is stuck in the motherboard. Please can someone help sort out an rma since the eu section don't want to help. Case number "91475914001933".

Thanks, Phil
