Recently Nvidia launched the latest and greatestRTX 4090 GPU.
Clearly, 4090 is a power-hungry GPU.
Sadly, the RTX 4090 is melting or burning cables that supply power to the GPU.
Multiple users have posted evidence of RTX 4090 power connectors burning or melting.
Well, Reddit userreggie_gakilwas the first to post details about their Gigabyte RTX 4090 issues.
They showcased burn damage on the new 12VHPWR adapter cable that Nvidia ships with the RTX 4090.
The user reggie_gakil stated that,
IDK how it happened but it smelled badly and I saw smoke.
Definitely, the Adapter who had Problems as card still seems to work.
A mod of the Nvidia subreddit confirmed that Nvidia has reached out to the OP.
A user then replied to the OP stating that, You arent the only one.
This happened to me today as well.
The OP of this post confirmed that An Nvidia rep contacted me to go over my system specs.
A call is scheduled for tomorrow.
I was offered to send my ASUS GPU direct to Nvidia in exchange for a FE GPU.
I declined due to price difference.
