I have a CX 450 PSU which I bought in july 2019. My specs are-
Ryzen 3 1200
AB350M-GAMING3
RX 460 4GB
16GB DDR4
Due to some issue with my motherboard (not related to power or the connectors) I go my motherboard replaced with a refurbished one. My PSU wass working fine till then. After a month of usage my PC started having problems. It restarted whenever I played any game. I checked the 24 pin connectors and two of its pins were burnt. It did not melt even slightly but it had a blackish look. I monitored voltages using HWinfo and they were dropping to 10V. So my question is how did my PSU connector got burnt. Could it be due to my fault that I didn't connect the 24 pin connector tightly or is it the motherboard which burnt my PSU?? Also I got the refurbished motherboard checked by the Gigabyte service center and they said it had no problems.
