I have a 4090, not concerned…… numbers are small compared to how many are out there. Have we had anyone yet on OCUK?

That's not important. What is important is the actual damage to the connector. Regardless of how it happens a customer's confidence in the video card is eroded when they see that they can't reliably feed power to the video card.
hmm...lets see where this goes.Nvidia may not have a choice, American 4090 owners can now sign up to sue Nvidia

Not yet.
After several years you can apply for a fiver in the post.
No burning here but out the box the 4th 8pin connector on the adapter cable is not sending power/signal to the card. My power limit slider is locked at 100% due to only picking up 3 cables connected and not 4, and I should be able to go to 520w (108% - Suprim).
Waiting to receive the corsair 600w cable. If that doesn't work then it's RMA time.

It’s early days. I wouldn’t call it “melodrama” at the bare minimum it’s unsafe and not fit for purpose. We aren’t sure if it’s the adapter or the board itself yet. I doubt the adapter is going to help anyway, completely stupid design.

Yeah, so how do you make these things melt? If it hasn't melted so far is it ok?
When it melts will I be able to smell it burning.?

Those cables are doing what I thought they would be. Each pair of cables being crimped into a cable direct into the socket of the 16pin. Looks like the sense cables are non-existent on 3 of the pcie8Proper cable arrived today.
Shame I've nothing to plug it into at the moment
Nvidia definitely should have don’t this for their adaptor tbh

If you smell pepperoni turn everything off.
I agree. The Cablemod cable is insanely high quality and it’s extremely flexible so doesn’t take much to bend it without putting stress on the connector end. It’s an absolute must if you want the 4090 to be reliable considering the situation. Nvidia should have bundled an adaptor of this quality in the box considering I paid nearly 2 grand for this GPU. That monstrosity they bundle instead is shameful really.

Only problem with cablemod is they put a fancy little sheath/cover over the connector to make it look cool but because of how recessed the connector on some GPUs are, the cablemod cable won't go fully into the GPU and make a proper connection unless you remove the sheathe/cover
That's what happens when you have new tech and it's not properly regulated and everyone just does what they want; cablemod is not immune they are selling a cable that doesn't work properly on all 4090 cards without modification

Just remember if you don't hear the clicking sound when you put the power cable into the 4090 then the cable hasn't gone far enough in

I wouldn’t want to force it. I mean it should click, if it doesn’t it’s probably faulty.Reddit - Dive into anything

If it's like when my motherboard 24pin socket melted then yes, you will be able to smell it lol

Ah OK thanks mate

This. If it requires so much force that people need to worry about breaking the connector off the GPU board, one or both of the two items is faulty / out of tolerance.
