*makes your new Gaming GPU a timebomb*

Power connectors melting because high end GPUs are badly designed

>>717826721 (OP)
Reminder: 3090Ti FE didn't have this problem and it used the same connector.

>>717827065
It's the connector specifically that's badly designed.

>>717826914
Someone smart decided to put 600+ Watts of power through one cable instead of three and make it standard for all new Gaming GPUs going forward.

1000$ btw

>My car inst shit , only the axles fall off

Whatever happened to "CHINA CAN'T GET THESE AI CHIPS BECAUSE ITS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY"

>>717827113
Yeah yeah replace GPU with "graphics card". Point still stand.

i have a cuck card (5070) and I undervolt it on top of that so it barely uses anything, like 150W maybe. I live in the extremely hot burger south I don't need anything heating up my office more than it already does.

>he boughted a xx90

>>717826721 (OP)
my psu doesnt even have this cable

Best decision I've made in my life, Njudea is done for but unironically

>>717827117
The cable is rated for twice that

I haven't bought nvidia products in almost a decade.

Why were they filming when it caught on fire?

>>717827576
why do they keep getting more market share if they're done

>>717827112
>>717827213
so is this a chinese meme to hurt sales?

>>717827840
Gee I wonder

>>717827840
Why indeed, it's a mystery to all men

>>717828063
No, connector is still shit. But you also have to make awful VRM for it to matter.

millions of pajeets who need their cards for Patreon AI futa porn

>>717827117
the best part is connectors already exist to support these wattages and have been standard for like 100 years but they decided to design a worse one anyway.

>>717826721 (OP)
>using a gpu with a shitty 12 HPWR connector
it's your fault. More like a brain tax.

>>717827117
>>717826721 (OP)
Reminds me of how fucked early USB-C was. No quality standards you just end up with a dead device.

>>717826721 (OP)
>never ever ever fucking ever cheap out on PSU
>never buy GPU from shitty chink brands like Inno or Palit
>never use ANYTHING but the stock PSU cables
>never have these problems
It's that simple.

>>717828842
>Buying a more expensive psu magically solves the cable design being shit and it drawing more power than it was designed for

>>717827576
This is honestly the best gpu to buy right now.

>>717828842
>just solder your own 10 gauge wires to the pcb
This would give you better chances.

>>717829025
>buying psu that was designed for high-end gpus consuming more power magically solves the high-end gpus comsuming more power
Yes, that's how it works.

I have 12g 3080

I guess it will be more or less ok for 2 or 3 years

Most graphics intensive games I play are anno and paradox incel games

>>717826721 (OP)
Good thing my Thinkpad doesn't have a gpu

>>717829598
honestly playing exclusively retro games, romhacks, fan games, mods for retro games, etc. on some shitty laptop where you're hard capped from playing any triple A goyslop might be the most enlightened way to game these days.

>>717827576
>9070 more expensive than a 5070
>XT is same price as a TI
It's like picking between two jewish sharks.

>>717829748
I just checked Newegg. The cheapfag model (msi shadow, zotac solid, gigabyte windforce, etc) 5070tis go for $800-1000

The top end 9070xt (sapphire nitro, asrock taichi, yeston atlantis, etc) go for $750-850

It's been proven to fail only if you don't insert the connector properly. Weak soi hands cannot insert the power cable to full length. And I've seen "pro pc builder" retards who advised to only connect one power supply cable instead of two, because "it will make gpu use less power". Obviously it only made gpu pull all required power through that single cable, failing miserably.

If it ain't gold I ain't buying.

It’s also very subject to physical wear with Nvidia rating the cable for 20 connect-disconnect cycles. It also has useless sensor pins that can’t actually tell if all pins are making proper contact. It has also a marginal safety factor when used on a 5090 at 600W. It’s a bad and even dangerous product all around but dead GPUs are just another sale for Nvidia and the market is too cornered to take action. Truly the chinese century.

Why the fuck didn't they just add an extra port to the cards. Not like even more thickness would make a difference when I already had to rearrange my entire goddamn case anyways because the card was so fat and long that it displaced the bottom half of my storage drive stack.
