Wait do the AMD cards burn your house down, or are we talking the Nvidia one?

My AMD card has (3) 8 pin tried and true PCI-E cables attached, I think (don't know for sure) that some of the 9XXX series cards went to that connector that likes to catch fire.

The 9070xt Sapphire Nitro+ (their highest cooler tier) uses the new connector. People were not happy about it since they are considered one of the better AMD partner brands and nearly every other brand and model stayed with 8-pins.

Sapphire Nitro 9070XT, Asrock Taichi 9070XT, and some of the "creator" branded 9070XTs do too. Maybe some others. The ~325w of the 9070XT should mean that melting cables should be much rarer if there is current imbalance.

Pretty much what I believe was "most" of the problem with the 40x0 Nvidia series. My ROG 4090, the connector seems fragile af. But there is a slit in the female connector that lets you see if its plugged in all the way / crooked. If these retarded fucks cant put a square block into another square block, straight, and then bend the pins...well.. I dont know if Nvidia is completely at fault for that.
I would love to say that playable realism is right around the corner. But ffs, we said that like what.. early 2010's? Then, as the years passed us by - AAA shit just seems to have gotten worse. Using the processing power for all this shit to shore up shitty coding. Crimson Desert maxxed out was the first "playable" game Ive played in a long time that looked really good from up close to insanely far away.

Hmm maybe not this is from today:
Hardware Unboxed Falls Victim to Melted RTX 5090 Power Connector as Cable Reaches 175°C
Hardware Unboxed has become the latest hardware channel to watch a 12V-2×6 connector melt on an RTX 5090 test bench. The setup paired an ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 with a be quiet! Dark Power 13 PSU, and host Steve reportedly only caught the fault after touching the cable and finding it hot enough...
