This Thermaltake came in my used Lanfire case and I don't know if it was already like that or what. Anyway since I noticed it I haven't been using it more than testing systems with. I just built a XP 2000+ with a Nforce 2 IGP mobo,160gb,2 optical drives 1 case fan and 512mb PC3200. No high end 3D cards will be used. I tested with my multimeter and it shows 3.39 which should be good. I am guessing it go poor connection with a motherboard and got hot maybe? Or maybe the guy I got it off of tried to push his memory voltage high? Isn't this line mainly used for memory?

Whats the worse it could do if I use it?
the worst it could do is blow your motherboard, ram, and processor. the psu is the most dangerous part of your system if you think it's suspect then buy a new one and try for a middle priced one rather than a cheap one
If it's burnt the plastic like those pics suggest, it could cause a fire. I'd avoid it. Get a new quality PSU.
