Yes, like the VRMs on Skylake X Boards, the S-ATA Controllers of the Intel P67 Chipsets, the GTX 280 that switched most PSU on the market at the time off and other stuff never happens...

 

Sorry, but you should try to listen to people who are trying to help you and not outright ignore them....

 

And especially since you have a 100Ampere CPU, a Board with shitty/no heatsinking of the VRM and the Connector right next to the VRM. And use a Tower Cooler.

 

What do you think happens?!

Maybe the VRM preheated the CPU Connector, thus the max. Amperage is reduced, resistance higher, shit hits the fan and it burns...

 

Maybe you should have taken a look at the specs of the Board. Maybe there was a line like 'for 95 and/or 125W FX CPUs a Vertical Cooler is needed'. Like ASROCK did with some of their Boards...

 

But what do we know...

So stop being a know it all and ask in a friendly/respectful matter.

Sorry but am getting confused some saying psu problem some saying motherboard. Am not getting what to replace.

The people who know what they are talking about, are saying that your motherboard caused the problem, as an added bonus, idoits like me agree with them.

 

You are very much in a tough situation, since you bought a shitty motherboard, you have damaged your PSU, so you need a new PSU, and you also need a new motherboard, which is what caused the problem to begin with.

or maybe resistance gone high because of melted plastic on 4 pin CPU connector ?

 

PSU will get replace as it on warranty problem is here motherboard 

 

suggest me good psu and mobo

The Problem is that the connector got hot due to the VRM next to it.

That lead it to melting.

Because when connectors get hot, resistance goes up, the loss on the connector goes up, chain reaction happens and the connector melts/burns/goes on fire.

 

and look at that:

* For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design.

And that Board has a Heatsink for the MOSFETs, yours have not. 

And that is one part of the problem.

The other is that it's cutting it a bit close, especially when placed next to really hot (100°C probably) components.

this freakin gigabyte and their useless words

Yes, and?!
Why does the Board not support 125W TDP CPUs?
Why does the Board not support 140W TDP CPUs??

You know the difference between reality and PR/Marketing??

OK am buying Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard this got 8pin CPU power connector and 8 core amd  fx CPU support and also heatsink on vrm stuffs , this is little bit above my budget but its ok.

 

If u know any good mobo than this with similar price pls le me know

If it weren't that risky, I'd say try another PSU(maybe with a low power GPU)... But your mainboard doesn't look too happy so, yeah, I think it wouldn't be that great of an idea...

Yep getting mobo + 750w psu both

What do you want with a 750W?
And what 750W??

 

Such pseudo 750W Garbage for under 50 bucks like MS-Tech, Intertech, Tacens, Tronje and the other totally overrated crappy 300-350W PSU sold as 750W???

Am buying corsair CS 750m & Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard

Overkill on the PSU, but ok.

 

Just make sure all of the connectors are fully seated into the motherboard.   Something as simple as a 4-pin connector that isn't fully seated could have caused the issues you've been seeing and the melted connector.
