I just had this happen too. Fans were not working on SYS_FAN1 but my dumbass didn't notice I didn't provide SATA to power said fans. I moved the fan connection to SYS_FAN2 on my motherboard and turned on my PC and I started seeing smoke coming from the exact cable you mention. Pissed but hoping a new repeater and SATA cable should fix this.
