I was adding a Bitfenix pro to the side of my build to cool it. I plugged the fan power into a 3-pin to molex connector that came with it. The second tiny cable, labled FAN LED puzzled me. Bitfenix's site said to plug it into a standard 3-pin fan power connector.

So I did... and when I turned the computer on, the cable melted in a puff of smoke.
Now, obviously, this was either a voltage or polarity problem, but my question is this: What are the chances that the wire melt on that cable affected the rest of the system.
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid/basic electrical question. I just want to know if I can turn my PC back on. (with the fan unplugged of course.)
