Are you sure it was the PSU? Power draw will depend on the vcore, not the frequency. Although perhaps the wires were indeed too weak for any push at all (to be fair, it was a 4-pin to begin with).

I am pretty sure anyone with a quarter of a brain could have told you this before it happened.

Bad PSU's are always a bad investment, that can cost you way more then if you bought a decent one...

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

But 80+ Has nothing to do with the quality of the used components and the build 

80+ is only about efficiency

its was only 1.4 volts 

That is a lot. I run an FX-9370 at stock clocks (so 8x4.4GHz) wiyh 1.38v. I can't be completely sure, but 1.4v on 6 cores could indeed be too much current for those 4 pins.
