Unfortunate news
Hi, Moonie here.
Well shit.
After two and half years with my desktop, With some of you may already knew, 12vhpwr, the power cable of my graphic card melted.
I’ve trid to resolve with simple methods, got to ordered a new third party power cable to replace the melted, stock Nvidia’s power cable one, this morning the cable arrived and got my hand to replaced the cable, it counted as my fourth time of resealing and reconnecting it, I always have done it as best and perfectly fit as i possibly could, but unfortunately, it did not resolve and I cannot get my system to turn on, frighteningly, it simply out of my reach to do it by myself, with no equipment to work and knowledge on this stage of the problem, so decided to bring it to shop and technician for repair abd resolve these issues.
It also got me really scared and frightened because after all of these, my next, the last line of this shithole, hopelessly depended, be fill warranty report to claim as it might not cover damage due to “that this is often a user error, not a manufacturing defect” said -manufacturer,
and “fuck you all, it’s clearly a user error, not because of our shitty design, we also have no responsibility to recall our products to address these problem because- fuck you user” imaginary said -Nvidia, with so, get to the worst case, i’d need to buy new graphic card and open for donation… i am sorry and worried with this announce.
Hope you all understand

aaaand another melted connector, sorry to hear this one is yours. gamersnexus on yt might be interested in more nvidia meltdown.
This really sucks, I recently got one with the 16 pin as well and it makes me so nervous with how many melting reports there are
Are you able to claim it under warranty? because it got me worried sick
When you get a new GPU I would recommend avoiding the 5090, it's using the same connector but +100 watts more so even more potential for melting. Either 5080 or try to get your hands on a used 4090. Wish you luck fren, I know it sucks :c
