Power of internet hype trains and influencers needing those clicks. Not saying the cable is perfect, but i do suspect it has been overblown to the point many are convinced they need to spend money on wireview pro etc to feel safe using it.
INNO3D claims just 15 melted 12VHPWR RMAs across Europe since RTX 4090 launch - VideoCardz.com
INNO3D: "We encounter user-damaged cards more often than cards with a melted connector." Are melted connector cases overblown? If so, why are new casesvideocardz.com

I know a LOT of people with 4090's and 5090's in my gaming circles, Discord etc.... and not 1 has had an issue but when there is an issue with 1 card the entire technosphere is made aware.
I think it’s a bit the same with 9800x3d issue. Sure there might be a small issue, but just looking at the Asrock sub Reddit there 183 confirmed cases? Some on Asus? But what is that relative to total sales?
I’m using the same cable I used with my 4090 on my 5090 and apparently that means my house should burn down.
I think it was the revised cablemod one when I needed a 90° angled adapter, but then just got a vertical GPU mount instead

I've done something rather stupid and bought an Asus RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition, just hope it squeezes in my case! I deliberated over getting a 5090 for a while but I think that ship has sailed now with my prices increases, it's not a cheap card @ £1499 but it's only £300 over the Asus Prime 5080 that I was going to get and the Noctua cards seem to hold their value well so hoping to sell off when a 6080 version comes out in the future.
honestly at this price, I would return it and buy the rtx 5090 founders edition from NVidia's website, you can get it for £300+ more. You can get one of those stock checker website to give you alert when its in stock. You get something MUCH FASTER for just a little more. If your 5080 was a £1000 model then you can make a point for not worth the upgrade in price/performance.

I agree that would be the better option but prices are creeping up now slowly and I just don't have a lot of confidence on snagging an FE and/or when they might even arrive which could be months away?, and outside of the FE 5090 prices have gone mental.
Agree with this, the 5080 even if it’s a Noctua card will def not hold its value as well as an FE, you will lose more money than stumping up a further 300 quid

Aaaaand it's gone !
There was a line of around 7000 people…if these were hard to get before I think they will be even tougher with all the rumours of various cards being EOL etc. Sad part is a lot of them end up on eBay for an inflated price.

Tried to grab one and impossible, this has kind of proven my point regarding the FE, they are basically hens teeth, plans have changed now anyway, I had a bit of luck if you can call it that(?) I cancelled the RTX580 Noctua Edition, tried to grab an FE and failed, then got moody and said sod it I'm getting a 5090 damn the cost 
, went to overclockers and for some odd reason a Zotac RTX 5090 that I had in my basket for a few weeks had kept it's price @ £2399 when I originally put it in there, todays price is £2700! and it's just been dispatched! so a fair bit more than an FE but I guess in todays market not to bad, I kind of saw it as a sign as my last chance to grab one before the prices continue to rise.

He has a 980ti in his sig but I can't help thinking that's a very old sig.

Asus Tuf 3080 10Gb.
5090 will pair nicely with that 2500k as well.
