>You're exaggerating, how many cases in the wild are there of burnt cables this gen now? I bet you can still count them on one hand.
I was thinking long term like >3 years on. We're already seeing a lot of reports of burnt connectors on 4090s that were working fine the last 3 years and were only found out because their owners taking out their cards. With regards to connector's safety margin, the 5090 is much worse than the 4090 as the latter only really used 410W at worst and averaged in the mid/high 300s in power draw while the 5090 is often running at 550 if not maxed out at 600w while gaming in high loads.
