Burning an ATX <-> A4000 power adapter

[ciVic]

Hi all,

I'm very surprised that it is possible to burn the 5V pin of my ATX connector which is connected to an ATX to A4000 adapter by amigakit. It gets so hot after some minutes that I can't touch it (you can see the dark pin on the picture below). I was wondering why I have 5.02V on the +5V lanes measured at the 5.25" connectors but when measured directly at the mainboard connector only 4.6V. I think I know why now. Does anybody had similar problems? I would really like to replace my original PSU since the machine has to run round about 10 minutes until my Radeon 9250 is stable. Seems that this card and my CyberstormPPC draws a lot of power and only warm components can deliver that.

I wouldn't say that the adapter was the reason for that. However, thanks for your help, but since the connetors of the PSU and the adapter are corroded now I should simply solder the wires together.
