TO BEc or NOT TO BEc...not just for Patrick

My question is, if the fan stops or gets shorted from the known problem with the wires comming out in the bottom and the bow beeing to tight... will the internal BEC break down on the MMM V2?

I doubt if the fan stops but if it shorts I'm sure it would. If you short and external bec it will "break down" as well. I opened my v2 after I read about the first failure and was going to dremel the case to make room for the wires, but my wires had plenty of room to move between the case and the board. There were no marks on the wires at all. I put a piece of electrical tape on them just for added insurance but I had plenty of run time on it so I would think that if they were going to rub through it would have already happened.
