Atx 12v 2x4pin help please guys

I have just bought a Gigabyte z97p-d3 board with a i5-4590 3.3ghz cpu.

 

Heres the problem

 

I simply installed the cpu outside of the case to test first

plugged the psu 24 pin and the 12 2x4pin atx in to the board

added some ram

hdmi to onboard graphics

and switched it on 

 

I seen smoke coming from the atx 12v 2x4 pin connector so switched it off.

 

Psu is not the problem as i am using it right now on the setup i have installed

 

Any ideas guys thanks

You didn't force anything right? All PC power connectors are keyed very specifically, so as long as you did not force it you should be fine. I would suggest contacting mobo manufacturer.

Yeah no force needed the connections a buttery smooth, also i believe there is a clip on one side of the connection so cant go wrong there.

 

The psu is Modular also so the 2x4 pin is dedicated.

 

Thanks for the input.
