Do some tricep extensions to plug the fecker in! My 24pin mobo connector makes me question if I ever went to the gym. Amazing how the stereotypical nerds have pc's that work lol.

Well my first model was a Palit, second was a PNY, Now I got a MSI. Im gunna try to figure out if they got the update.
The MSI have a lower maximum power bios I think 520/540 max and less to none have been seen burnt out.
The newest 4090"S were supposed to have had the updated connector, that and similar from cable mods, IE the newer connection type would be what I would want , I am fine under running a card but I would want the full performance IF I need it, especially if I paid.

Running a 4090 at 100w less than stock and getting 95% of the performance isn't a bad option. This is what I am doing and again unless you are rocking rivatuner 24/7 it is impossible to notice. The room is also substantially cooler lol.

I would keep the 4090 and power limit it using MSI afterburner to reduce power and heat, say 75% (to start with) then push up the PL when you have more confidence in the card behaving.

A 4090 with a 75% PL will reduce a lot of power and heat and prob still be faster and cooler than a flat out 4080.
Came here to post this^

As an aside, has anyone done an in-depth comparison of a power-limited 4090 and a 4080? I'm curious just how close their performance ends up.
