There are the pictures in his post that show the other manufacturers cables with clear faults. I do not see what clarity you need other than the pics.

If only an angled connector existed so you didnt have to bend the cable
here's a mockup i deisgned that should fit the bill
maybe nvidia should use it..
It's like Nvidia let the interns loose for the 4090 design, unbelievable, Jeff.

Adapter gate? NVIDIA briefs all board partners this morning and makes damage an absolute boss issue | igor´sLAB
That this with the faulty 12VHPWR adapter (“must break”), whose investigation I had published this morning as an article and video, will not proceed without noises and a larger wave…

"This has a stale aftertaste in that the engineers there should have known better. Such soldering processes from thick to thin, as well as pressed wires without real strain relief in the plug, are technically not only mischief and grossly negligent, but actually also forbidden, because they contradict all rules of electrical engineering."

NVIDIA tells board partners to collect GeForce RTX 4090 cards affected by melting 16-pin power adapter - VideoCardz.com

Cards kept rolling out (what was available) when there was that whole cap conspiracy on the back of the 3080's.
And it looks like most the 3090 & 3090ti are now out of stock so there could be a huge repeat of highend GPU shortage again for some time

The 3060Ti/3070Ti/3080Ti/3090Ti FE are all in stock in the UK.
I think all that is left is as to how Nv handle this situation. Will they go full Apple and deny there is a problem and tell us we are doing it wrong? Or will they go the Samsung route and accept they have made a huge design flaw and rectify their error.
I will have far more respect for Nv if they go the Samsung route and admit to the mistake. The cards are fine and the problem is with the adpater, if Cablemod can design an idiot proof adapter that works then Nv should have the resources to do it as well. Get them manufactured ASAP and ship them to the customers , who let us not forget have shelled out a minimum of $1600.
Edit - I bet the guys at EVGA are laughing their socks off at the moment.

I was looking to upgrade my 2080ti to a 4090 (preferably FE), but after lurking on here and reading some of the issues, I am almost glad I haven't yet been able to get hold of one.
I do like the look of the CableMod cables and (as yet unreleased) right-angled adapter; I do NOT like the idea of it voiding my warranty (although if they don't know...).
I've waited this long. A couple more months can't hurt.

Oh, I fully agree. Especially when the other cables appear to be of a better overall quality than the ones they are pushing.
