It really adds to the total cost, but I'd rather do it this way than having the adapter and connector at the GPU end melt. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

October 29, 20223 yr I am one of the people with the problem. Mine was starting to melt one of the side pins, but the GPU was good (externally). I still doubt it is just the adapter. No tests has been made with other cables. In fact there are 14 (and counting) people with the issue. All with the Nvidia Adapter, but that doesn't mean it cannot be produced with a third party one. We have to see. What I am going to do is refund it, as I want to be sure that the problem is solved. Then I will go for it again (if the prices don't rise more than the crazy they were). 3090 people were looking their connectors and in some of them has seen some kind of degradation (by heat?). But it is seems clear to me that join 4 adapters into a single one, is like entereing from a 6 lines highway into a single one road. For sure a traffic jam. Who can garantee that all those people that don't have the issue right now, won't have it in 1 year? not a week in my computer and I found this. there are people with just a couple of hours.

It's literally 12 lanes down to 6 on the power and 16 lanes down to 6 on the ground with the merge being the weak point... trying to do the splicing of large current carrying cables in that tiny 12 pin connector.

Yeah... and perhaps the idea of the new connector (and adapter) was to ease cable management somehow. Only it has the opposite effect, as one now has to be super-extra-careful not to bend the adapter. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
October 30, 20223 yr I always thought it was 150 watt per 8 pins PCI-e connector. How can this connector be 600 watt with only 2 x 8 pins PCI-e connectors connected on the PSU? I would expect it to be 300 watt max. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/600W-PCIe-5-0-12VHPWR-Type-4-PSU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920284 MSI Tomahawk Z790, I7-13700K, DDR5 6000mhz, MSI 4090, 3x SSD 980 PRO, Corsair 360 Liguid CPU cooler, Corsair H1200V2 power.
