NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 User Reports Melted 12-Pin Connector On Both GPU & Cable, Marking The First Such Case With RTX 50 Series

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-melted-12-pin-connector-both-gpu-cable/

Here we go again... I swear if they limited to 300-350 watts per cable, no issues would have happened.

I'm sure it's another case of user error for not plugging it fully in. 

With that said, we also know from reviewers that, if you overclock the card, it pulls more than the 600W the connector and cables are rated for, making it a potential danger if the connector or the cable don't support more than what they're designed for.
