Nvidia’s RTX 5090 power connectors are melting
-
Click bait title and repost
-
How is it clickbait when there's literally pictures of the melted connectors in the article?
-
The connectors are 3rd party and have nothing to do with this GPU. If I told you cars were exploding at random and didn't mention that I poured gasoline on them and lit a match, wouldn't you call me dishonest?
-
Every cable except for Nvidia's 8 pin octopus cable adapters are third party. That includes the native 12Vhpwr cables that are coming with high end PSUs.
-
Makes sense but that title is still misleading.
-
If the connectors are on the board, and they melt, it's on the manufacturer that put them on the board, especially since this happened with the last release.
A $2,000 GPU shouldn't carry the risk of burning your house down.

Der8auer's video is worth a watch, he got one of the Redditor's card:

I think your comment opened my eyes to my poor reading skills. I was talking about cables not the connector.
-
This is huge. A working setup like that leading to >150°C on those thin cables is insanity!
-
Their power connectors are melting up just like their stock.
-
Exactly. In a sence that it happened once, wasn't really significant, but people making it out to be some kind of catastrophe instead of a pretty regular not very newsworthy event
-
New gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.
