The connector melted because it had too much resistance--hence why it got hot. Replacing only the motherboard side may not fix the problem but replacing both sides will for sure.

If you have no warranty left on the CM just cut a good EPS12v plug off one of your dead power supplies and splice it onto the CM. Then you can use it safely until you get a better power supply.
