I disagree, the highest wattage cards have clearly had the most failures even though they're the least common cards. It's also not at all surprising given the lower margin for error which just gets smaller at higher wattage. I tend to think...

Another post with nothing of value added. You are in over your head and tunatime was right.

Leave the multi-trillion dollar company alone! They and their partners can't afford to replace 10 cent connectors on $7000 GPUs when they melt due to poor connection quality, and they aren't melting at unacceptable rates because Nvidia mods...

Well, you see something new every day, I never thought Enshittification would attract fanbois... Bottom line, in over 35 years of designing stuff professionally I've learned that if you take shortcuts like Nvidia has, it will bite you in the ass...

I'm an electrician been one my whole life. I don't need statistics to know this is THE weak point that is most likely to kill my card one day. Will it fail? Maybe maybe not. But it shouldn't be happening at all as it's VERY easy to calculator a...

Yes, that's right—why not ask the AI:

Saw this earlier in the news. I realize real time ability to control things is more efficient, but sometimes more resilient systems are more important than ultra efficient systems. Food distribution would be one of those times in my opinion...

Almost just as sad as those making excuses and pretending it is not an issue. I only watch a handful of youtube tech channels and it sure is strange how many of those have also had the melting issues. But do not argue with the usual suspects...

It's a good thing we are all crazy and nothing is wrong with the cable to where every company and random moders are trying to fix it...... O wait Nvm It's shit and Nvidia won't fix or acknowledge it

it’s going under the knife right now!!!

I will never use cloud gaming. Fuck that shit.

Don't be disingenuous- the focus has been on these connectors being run too close to their rated limits with no protection. Obviously cards with much lower power limits are several orders of magnitudes less likely to run into these problems.

So their criticism falls flat entirely and can be ignored as apologist bullshit. You used an official Nvidia product that came with the card and it failed the same way as other cards with no adapters.

Sources can't be cited because Nvidia reddit mods keep deleting melted connector posts. I can say that I've seen way more native 16pin cables melted now that they've been out for a few years. The adapters seemed more common in the beginning, but...

It will be Karma on here when some people experience this problem. Just amazes the lengths some will go to defend a poor design, but some people also defended the Pinto despite a terrible design flaw.

So you haven’t checked into the numbers on this, you just know the numbers on this? I mean you seem to be reasonably invested in this because you enter every thread about it trying to tell everyone this isn’t a big deal.

Could you share those numbers you’ve compiled with us?

Apples and oranges. On one side you have a $5000+ card where it's abundantly clear the design is meant to pinch pennies. On the other side you have a $400 CPU where it isn't clear whether the problem is being caused by AMD or motherboard...
