It's happening again, melting 12v high pwr connectors

Yeah, it's crazy to say the least.

As for the RTX 5090 melting the connector, what I want to know is if these pins in the connector are of the four contact design (NTK), can't see too well inside these pins to say one way or the other here.

4080? For real?

Sure, the V1 CableMod was lightly damaged while the V2 connector literally melted. And the card was running at default settings since, being a basic PNY model, it could not be overclocked. Anyway, I never solved the the 4080 black screen (with fan at 100%) random problem, so I got back to the 4070 Ti Super since I play 1440p and it is enough @ ultra settings. Never had a card or driver problem since then.

This thread has gone from wire safety margin, to shunt resistor, cooling down the actual cable with a fan then latest how to bend the cable properly. We all need to go on EWIS (Electrical Wiring Interconnect System) course before using this connector

you won't learn much here if that's your objective I fear.

To clarify, there may well be an issue of note. But expecting this mob to understand it is sort of like expecting a monkey at a typewriter to write shakespear. It COULD happen but I highly doubt the monkeys literary prowess (as well as our collective electrical engineering knowledge).

this isn't reddit you don't come here with a personal vendetta and allow it to color your opinion we don't do that here period

I support this statement 100% and would love it if everyone could get that memo, but unfortunately there are people here who do this constantly and are spurred on by likeminded people that agree (by virtue of positive reactions).

I'd happily tag a few right now, but I genuinely don't want to incite arguments and completely derail this thread. Boy oh boy do they need to hear it though.

I do learn something, avoid this shitshow till they really fix the problem.

None of us really have any idea how widespread it is at this point in time, but that's certainly a safe option.

Those 12V-2x6 shorter sense pins working well I see
