This is what happened to my amd athlon 4400+ x2 when I connected the 8pin EPS12v cpu cable to my ASUS Crosshair motherboard. I bought a new processor and it has been working fine with the 4 pin ATX12v cpu cable, I am very afraid to try the 8pin EPS12v cpu cable because I cant afford to have my new cpu to burn like this which I think is bullshit that ASUS made the board with a 8pin EPS12v connector and cant use it.
