Hey guys, I need some help here.

I plugged in my brand new CX500 power supply into my mobo booted up, and to my horror one of those microchip thingies starts smoking (see top right next to the fan3 header). Ofc I turn it off.

I check my connections for anything that could be causing problems, but it all seems fine. When I turn it back on, the mobo seems to post fine, but there is still the problem of the hole in one of those microchip thingies.

Any info about what happened or what I should do will be very appreciated.

Hey man, thanks for the response, I managed to get the mobo to boot by connecting the power button from the case, but that seems to have caused a new problem, I updated mt thread accordingly. Any further help is appreciated.

Yeah there is, yeah I have to agree is probably the safest option to RMA, but I really need the PC for CAD work this coming week, would you strongly recommend against waiting a week to RMA since the mobo still appear to function normally?
