$400 EVGA X58 Mobo Can Burn Up 24-Pin ATX Pin When Using 4xHD4890 Under OC (+fix)
@ 2009/06/13Whe making the Classified I did take precaution to increase trace thickness for the 4 PCIE slots for the 3 groups of power. As before when overclocking quad fire 3870 I found they eat a lot through pcie slots.
This way the trace does not burn up, or restrain cards oc in quad fire.
However as there are only 2 +12v yellow wires, the connectors thus get hot at the 24pin ATX.
I myself have melted the 24 pin ATX connector when running 4 x 4890 oc.

Was wondering why many X58 boards no longer use additional PCIe GPU power sources...
