Which 4090 do you have ?Looks like i'm on the 300V cables. Fingers crossed the BeQuiet 12VHPWR adapter gets UK stock soon though, i'll change it just to be on the safe side.
The tape looks exactly the same when you put it back on, I doubt there's a way for them to tell.

ASUS TUF non OC
Removing the tape shouldnt be an issue as far as warrenty is concerned, if the cables do indicate the version / manufacturer / batch of the adapter, and you have one of the known bad ones, the burden of proof lies with the manufacturer to show that your action caused a defect within the first 12 months - as it's (potentially) a known bad connector iof you find the 150V wires - then you've not caused the defect.
See now the thing is ASUS TUF is one of the cards burning up their connectors .. so nothing to do with these 150v-300v cables in the adapter then..
I think there is more going on with this mess than just the adaptor and a combination of different things causing these failures.. Time will tell...
As it's a fairly recent discovery that there are (at least) two types of adapters, we'll have to wait and see if people with the burned adapters can let us know if they were using the 300V or 150V wires. I dont think its down to the wires either, but the type of wire used may be the best way to tell what version of the plug you have. As there seems to be one that is more fragile than the other.
Then again, Pauls hardware on YouTube has the 300V cables, with the weaker soldering method so it's still a roll of the dice. I need the card for work, and sold my old one so not much I can do.

This guy found a cut in one of the wires of his connector.
It still shows a real lack of quality control does it not? These are the cables nvidia are reccomending and they're being made to pathetic standards.
well I'm guessing they were assembled by kids in china or malaysia so totally normal standards when yor pay 5pence per connector

Come for the solder, stay for the smoulder!
Will post these in here as I have the other thread, using a cablemod cable now and plug showed no sign of burning. Tape is very easy to remove and replace to check your own
So you have the dud adaptor. Is your melting?

It does seem like you thought, 12vPWR mentions, English football talk, you being an idiot on there... adds up
By the way I am not mad anymore, I may seem like the devil with a pitchfork sometimes but it evaporates.
