Black screens might be sensor related, cablemod diagnosed that, and on their latest cables bridged the sensor pins to resolve it.

Some PSU manufacturers are racing to provide a comical solution to a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with. To be fair, I cannot really blame them.
I hope someone will do a scientific investigation with easily reproducible results in order to put an end to this once and for all.


So far we've got a small performance increase, very high prices and questionable reliability.
But hey, at least this entire drama is entertaining.

Apparently, nVidia should have made the 5090 with TWO connectors instead of just one: that would have PERMANENTLY eliminated the problem (on the 5090s).

I agree about the 2 but it’s not enough.
You need current balancing too on top of the 2 connectors to keep every pin inline with an adequate safety margin (x1.5-2.0)
5080 can get away at <400W with one of those connectors. But still current balancing is good to have to maintain at least >1.5x safety at all times.
