I believe the item is shipped from china via air mail so you should get it in around 2 weeks from dispatch.

Why so much effort worrying about something that affects less than 1% of the GPU market..

Cheers thanks, Looking like end of November then, Aah well let's see if this adaptor holds up
My cousin's old 3070 FE lit on fire at the time very soon after receiving it so perhaps 3000 series had an issue too.
It damaged the heatsink a bit
This was scan's assessment at the time on RMA
I ordered on the 17th October for my Corsair PSU and it shipped yesterday.

So about 2 weeks to ship and 2 weeks to deliver sounds about it.
I only ordered on the 27th October (My Fault for waiting so long)
And now they have a ton of orders apparently lol.
That could be a component failure on the board itself. "Letting the magic smoke out" is something that can happen when components fail.My cousin's old 3070 FE lit on fire at the time very soon after receiving it so perhaps 3000 series had an issue too.

A MOSFET popping is not nearly as dangerous melting the connections on a 600w connector. The connector has all the power, for all the components on the card, passing through it. (Well, a small amount of power could come from the PCIe slot, but it's nothing compared to what the connector is responsible for)
Buying a 4090 seems to be a game of cable-roulette right now.

I would personally try and get a replacement 12VHPWR 4x8 pin adapter from ModDIY. Far superior to the nvidia adapter and is single seamed. Ships in 24 hours and you will have one in next week so atleast you can use your card with peace of mind until your CableMod native cable ships. Their lead time atm is around 3-4 weeks so it could be a while.

Is that with the 2-5 day shipping? £35 postage does seems expensive. Presumably there are import fees on top of that as well so £70+ all in.

Yes. It's expensive but IMO Cablemod is flooded with orders to the extent it will take a month to ship so it's not practical. At that point, you may as well have waited for AMD to launch their cards and bought a 7900XTX and not bother with this nonsense.
I was going to buy a replacement PSU cable from ModDIY and cancel my CM order but then it shipped.

Do you know if you can bend that moddiy adaptor more than the Nvidia one?
If so I might just order it and cancel my Corsair order and then just keep using the moddiy adaptor if no issue.
The Corsair cable is a good one , will be no issues with that
Cable mod cable will cost you around £37 all im with shipping and import fees included in that price .
All 12VHPWR need 36mm of clearance regardless of manufacturer. Why don’t you go for the replacement PSU cable from Moddiy? It’s cheaper and is single sleeved unlike their adapter which is uni-sleeved. The quality should be better than the official Corsair cable.
Based on what exactly?

Yeah that's a fair point, I would have got one from Seasonic if they even bloody offered the thing for resale but they don't only a freebie in limited quantities and then there's strict requirements, 1000w and up PSU's you have to have bought in the last 12 months.
Talk about PSU manufacturers not being ready for the new spec is a total joke to be perfectly honest.
Both Igor and Paul got the bad adapter where the solder broke easily and it was 150V. Gamersnexus tried his hardest to break the 300V but it didn't work. So the 150V adapter is the issue here.
