Watching a show, all of a sudden I smell something...weird...burning...very fast...smoke coming out of the front of my PC...small fire...WTF????
Quickly shut everything down...
Took out bluray drive and fan controller <-- the culprit...
My question is...did I somehow cause this or is this just one of those rare events? Could this have burned everything down or are these components designed that if they melt like this that they don't tend to affect other nearby things?
Should I contact BitFenix? I've had the controller for a few years now...powering 3x14cm and 2x12cm bitfenix led fans.
See attached pic for what melted and burst into flame.
