I see a lot of marketing bullshit.

We know the 5090 FE and possibly a bunch of AIB's have design flaws.

No amount of cable quality can solve this.
Name those "design flaws" you know about.

I think Jay is on to something. Clumsy and loose jack fittings are likely contributing to a degree in this round of cards and perhaps even in the previous gen cards.
Correct, anyone that has worked in the electrical field knows resistance equals heat.

Exactly. This problem seems to have escaped detection because the connectors are inside the plastic connector housing and pin sheaths. Could explain a lot.


And i may as well add this newest video with a demonstration.

Der8auer might also be on to something.

This solution from MODDIY might be part of the solution. However, the overall problems with this connector once again seem to point to it being a flawed design. I still would prefer returning to the standard PCIe 8pin connector and simply having 3 of them.

Two of these stacked GTX 680 connectors side by side, done!

The solution was right under their noses.
