PSU Issues

[Ryce_Cubed]

I'm having some really big issues with my PC. A couple months ago, I upgraded some of my components such as switching out my mother board for a better one (AsRock Fatality Killer 990fx) and adding some more RAM. The issue comes in from when I reassembled my machine. My power supply started a high pitched whine along with smoke starting to come out of it. I immediately turned it off and checked all my wiring and making sure all my components were in correctly. I then put out a warranty claim on the PSU (Which is an EVGA Supernova 750w Modular power supply). I just got the replacement unit yesterday and just tested it in my machine only for it fail again under the same conditions. I checked the manufacturer and I have more then enough power for the machine so I don't know what s going on.

 

My Machine:

Mobo: AsRock Fatality Killer 990fx

CPU: AMD FX 8320e

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo

GPU: R9 280

RAM: 16gb of Crucial Ballistix

Storage: Samsung 128gb 840 evo ssd & WD Blue 1tb

Case: Corsair CARBIDE SPEC-02

PSU: EVGA Supernova 750w 80+B

Check if you haven't actually used the wrong cables for the 8 pin CPU. Or in general.

The 8 pin for the CPU can be the 6+2 that comes wired to the psu or would I have to use a separate cable?  The only 8 pins I have are either 6+2 or 4+4
