Prebuilt 4090 under a year from new egg. Had no idea there were melting problems. (I should have googled better) 2nd pc I ever owned.
Games crashing, pc restarting, doesn’t log error. Pin doesn’t come off the GPU, for sure melted. Any chance the year warranty would cover this with new egg? Or Asus?

About as cooked as the wire.
If it’s an ASUS pre-built, contact them immediately. NewEgg probably won’t be of much help since they are the retailer and not the manufacturer.
Given the 12VHPWR issues, that will 100% be covered by warranty.
You should change the wires
That’s not medium rare anymore.
As cooked as a marshmallow in a steel furnace.
Yes its cooked.
Wait, its an ASUS Prebuild?
Contact them fast!
PSU and GPU need to be replaced.
And Do NOT remove/detach the cable.
On a scale of 1 to fuck, you’re fucked

Genuine question, why did manufacturers started using this type of connector when its so prone to failing? Why not just use standard 3 8pin conectors?

The cable isn’t properly seated so that was to be expected.
12V High Failure connector at it again
Do you mean is an asus pre build? Or just an asus card?
Not so bad, but, stop using it right now and change to a new more powerful psu and check the graphic card if still working, but better stop using that cable
Baked at 500 for 2 hours and turned ever 30 minutes
Fried would be a better word
That’s waranty
cooked level : molten core
If it’s under warranty return it or rma the gpu. If you can’t do that the best you can do is unplug the cable look for any damage and buy a new cable and plug If it’s also melted.

Solder follows heat so that’s why it’s stuck. Send the whole thing (psu chord and gpu) RMA with pictures included in rma request.
All of the cooked 😮💨
