NVIDIA !? What's WRONG With Your RTX 4090 Adapter?
Let's get started with Nvidia, as you might have heard… things are heating up. There have been whispers everywhere online about that new 12-pin connector either catching fire or melting connectors.. Or both. Actually, yesterday, this post went viral on Reddit and Twitter with user X posting his… ooey gooey melty connector.
Now, let's be clear, this can still happen with any connectors, in fact, it happened on one of my old systems with my 8-pin CPU connector but to have it happen so consistently is kind of worrying. The 4090 JUST got out, and we’re seeing melted connectors back to back. Here is another one that was posted today! No duels policy responded to Reggie's post saying that it happened to him too. This time on an Asus TUF gaming OC card. And while I’m writing this I found another one on WECCFTEch coming from Facebook with a melty connector. I mean this is insane.
Now to me, it's pretty clear why this happens on that connector. I mean it's been explained by others but I haven't heard people talk about the actual reaction here or actually show it physically, So let me do that here for you. These are GPU 8-pin connectors. Let me get them out of the sockets here. Thank god I bought this DIY PSU kit a while ago for another project, or this would have been a nightmare.
You can also thank AMD for not using this connector for their RX 7000 series of gpu's. This was confirmed by Scott Hackleman the SVP and GM of AMD Radeon in a tweet about the future rdna3, rdna 3 products.
