PSU pins fried - how to clean?
Have been experiencing shutdowns under load and both pcie cables have power pins darkened/blue tinted, so PSU (corsair SF750) must have been doing some sort protection. Cables were bent badly at the connectors or badly plugged so that might have been the cause. No fried plastics just metal female / male pins getting some sort of burns.
Anyway I replaced both cables and now looking at PSU side. Same - power pins are darkened / blue tinted. I am afraid plugging good cables never going to make good contact anymore and instead will have increased resistance which will increase current and shutdowns and fried cables will be back in no time. I dont have free good ports I have to use all of them.
Anyone cleaned it successfully long term? I think pins have some sort of coating that if you scratch it will oxidise and same issue happen. I tried IPA and nothing. I am determined to fix this glorious PSU so pls no “replace the psu” advices. Thanks in advance
