Wires overheated while charging iPad with ATX PSU

@Don Y No, it's on the 5V rail.

So you have wires from the power supply to a USB socket, then are using a USB cable from the socket to the iPad?

Is this USB cable a quality cable rated for the power the iPad will draw?

Lots of USB cables use very thin wires. You need one that is rated for the current the iPad will draw. Do you know what maximum current the iPad draws?
