Crashing GPU -> no physical damage -> try different cable or power supply first. That's the improvement. It's not the pins on the headers of the GPU/PSU that get damaged- it's the cable pins making poor contact.

Doesn't matter what the numbers are. Load balanced would have caused instability and an investigation long before the connector got hot enough to melt if pin resistance was a problem. This also shows that simply adding headroom isn't enough- this...

Funny thing is the 8 pin melting at the PSU side using a 12vhpwr adapter is 100% due to the lack of current balancing on the 12vhpwr side.

It makes you unhappy, best part of the thread.

I think its fine as a single thread. Its not like we're going to do failure rate analysis anyways. So why divide it. Besides erek posting i dont know what is left to discuss in this thread that would warrant dividing it. Its mostly focused on...

Looks like it's already gone.

I mean... when you're running at about half its rated wattage, most things will survive that. That tells you nothing about their quality. My Seasonic-made Coolermaster V1000 cost me $120. It lasted 12 years in my primary system, and the only...

Because security is hard, inconvenient and boring. Real security, particularly against nation-state type actors, is bureaucracy. You have to pick a security framework, and then develop that in to a set of policies for your organization. Those...

As said, 11 would be ideal. Cause then you can remove all the bloatware while keeping all the improvements, while also having free reign to change the UI however you want. I suppose you can theoretically port 11's improvements back into 7 but...

That makes it even worse. 50% margin but it still melted means the design just sucks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1xllz37/psu_decided_it_wanted_to_become_a_campfire/ sounds like he had both 8pin connectors plugged in. only 1 melted.

Likely due to the lack of load balancing and most power getting sent down one or two wires. While the 300w power consumption of the 5070ti is technically within the 300w limit of that connector, any imbalance can cause that connector to exceed...

I pointed this out a few pages back. The ROG Equalizer is the worst of the fixes because it actually exacerbates the problem rather than improving it. Without the equalizer, it has the entire length of the wire to help balance out resistance...

At the end of the day it doesn't matter if it the cable, the connector or because no load balancing.....they are buring because the power delivery circuit is subpar the cable/plug needs more overhead and the vrm probably should be broken up to...

Sounds like you’re approaching this from an engineering standpoint, asking logical questions like “why are you redlining the connector so close to maximum design tolerances without doing at least the most basic of things like ensuring proper load...

He just ignores everything that contradicts what he wants to believe. He keeps posting one link from GamersNexus saying that if it were an issue, then Youtubers would be talking about it. Meanwhile, GamersNexus HAS talked about it. Many times...

+1 I tick all these boxes when installing win11. I have it running on 6th and 7th Gen Intel, no issues.

9.2 amps is technically within the 9.5 amp spec. Unfortunately, I think the only way to get better balancing is to use to play lottery with different cables.

The thing you're not taking into consideration is that the pin connection resistance can be technically in spec yet still differ enough to cause a significant current imbalance. In this scenario, a combined bus can fail while the separated pins...

I guess I can see where you're coming at. If all the connectors are technically within spec at less than 0.005 ohms but most are around 0.003, one is at 0.005, and one is at 0.001, it will create the kind of current imbalance that will make the...
