Electronics msi graphics card Nvidia RTX 5090 owner reports MSI's yellow-tipped 12V-2×6 power cable melted despite foolproof design "Almost" foolproof By Rob Thubron April 30, 2025, 7:03 AM 31 ...
There's a new report about an Nvidia GeForce graphics card causing a power supply cable to melt, but this time it's not a high-end RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 GPU doing the damage but a much more modest ...
TL;DR: The GeForce RTX 5090, with a 600W TGP, is the most power-intensive gaming GPU, leading to reports of melted power cables. A recent case involves the RTX 5070, where a damaged pin on the 12V ...
Nvidia first faced problems with melting power cables on the 2022 flagship, the RTX 4090. That card demanded 450W, which at the time was a new peak for high-end graphics cards.
The 12V-2×6 design lacks a mechanism to monitor pin-specific power draw, leading to poor load balancing and overheating. This flaw now appears to affect the RTX 5070 and 5080, not just the power ...
Let me be clear right now: this isn't a move against AMD, which has many graphics cards that require two 8-pin power cables, but it's instead more of a move towards… yes, you've guessed it… AI.
Convenient as cables might be, a power bank will always first be judged on its battery capacity. The Alogic Ark Pro features a 27600mAh (Milliamp Hours) battery with a 99.36Wh (Watt Hours) rating.
We asked a PSU expert about this problem last month, and he told us, "It is simple, DO NOT BUY adapters or extenders. They can all be dangerous." The problem isn't in the cable itself, as "All 12V ...
The new design of the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 series brings a straightforward change to its power setup. Instead of the old three PCIe 8-pin connectors, it now uses a single 12V-2x6 connector.
For example, FSP has developed a 12V-2×6 cable that incorporates a thermistor. This sensor monitors the temperature in real time at the GPU connector, and if it reaches around 110°C, it triggers ...
