Thank you for replying I will have to do some more research into my particular model but i'm running an i5 4690K @4.6 GHz with a GTX 1080 I would doubt I would get anywhere near 300w on the EPS 12V

Yeah. If you have the Leadex with the 9-pin "universal" connectors, it's a crappy design. But should be fine with 300W or more load.
The point is, if this guy (the one in the video) was really measuring 65°C at his power connector, there's something wrong with HIS power supply or setup. Not the design of the PSU.

Taking a step back and thinking logically, how likely is it that intel / multiple board manufacturers let a supposed defect as big as this just slip through testing?
Clearly something unique to his setup is causing this issue. It's still worthy of an investigation to find out the cause.

Yes, some applied logic! The right approach.
They let a massive defect on the P67 chipset slip through, which ended up with all boards being RMA and replaced.

Fair point. This defect just seems too apparent to not have been spotted earlier.
