Lost my boy last night. PC crashed and VGA light came on. Pulled apart the system and the adapter could not be removed/was melted into the card.
Cablemod assured me they’ll help me get it replaced free of charge, but atm I’m stuck in limbo without one.
Wish Nvidia would just recall these already

Was it it the revised version of the adapter?
RIP soldier
Another death by the hands of bad engineering
Wow just bought this 180 degree adapter /: so my gpu may get fried too
How much money is cablemod burning to replace these cards now?
All of this craziness from a right angle adapter to look pretty.
I’ve been seeing the 4090 failing a lot but like fucking everyone that I know that has one is having the melting issue…I only know 3 guys with one but still, all 3?

The Bae case looks sick.
This is almost a daily thing at this point. Oof.
What kind of psu do you have?
was trying to figure out what kind of hyte case it was until i noticed it wasn’t on the desk, cool how that worked out
We definitely will get that all taken care of. Please put in a ticket with our support team and they’ll get all of that arranged. <3

Geez, this is still an issue? I feel like I’ve been seeing more melted 4090s recently.
Hilarious that you destroyed a $1500 card for “ascetics”, because that’s what this is.
If I were a manufacturer and knew this, I’d deny the RMA, flat out. As a consumer, I would of course hide that fact.
I mean yours has been recalled
Inb4 “mine still works”, this is awful. I’m glad mine is still kicking but this does concern me since I’m using an OEM Corsair adapter and if that fails hmm…
In the car audio world, a 600-watt amp requires a 4 gauge wire. These components also run at 12 volts. But all the wire combined are maybe half the size.
This is the only reason why I’m not buying a 4090.
1600$ gpu and 10$ chinese adapter (yes, cm)
Funny, my 4090 hasn’t melted yet. Oh wait, I’m not using a cheaply manufactured 3rd-party adapter. I guess it’s easier for CableMod to replace GPUs instead of recalling these trash adapters.
This was actually the deciding factor for me to buy AMD for my current gen GPU. I didn’t want to deal with that blasted 12v high power connector
Yet another post that validates my decision to undervolt and power limit my card to 450W. :/
Bro what you thinking running your GPU without RGB.
Clearly your fans, motherboard, and RAM decided the GPU must go.
RMA that shit, and don’t tell them about the adaptor because they’ll screw you, even if the adaptor has nothing to do with it
I really hope that flimsy little connector will die and won’t come back with the RTX 5000 series
Has anyone heard of Corsair’s 12VHPWR cables melting?
I’m legitimately concerned for my 4090 since this issue started popping up again but I usually see the included adapter or Cable Mod in those posts.
I have had mine with the Corsair cable the entire year.
Are the sick PSU cables ok? I’m nervous about getting a 4090 because of this melting issue. I’m now thinking that it might be better to take the performance hit with the 4080, and then upgrade to a 5080/5090 that should hopefully have this issue resolved.
