NVIDIA 4000 Series

JAy2Cents AND gamers nexus both tried Everything to try and make the Cables/Adapters Burn, they couldn't.
Both were using FE cards. My working theory is the AIB cards are doing something or not doing something to cause this issue.

Couldn't it still be the cable if Nvidia are only using a specific one with theirs? Or do you mean they tried multiple cables on an FE?

They bent the Adapter every which way, put pigtails on the cables. Nothing would raise the temps.

I want gamers nexus and/or jay to retry with AIB card. prove me wrong

Haha, I was trying to find out if they were using lots of different cables :p I dunno, maybe I didn't ask the question properly

I don't like being blunt about people/products. But as you asked me to spell it out, my working theory is, it's NOT the sodding cables.
AIB cards doing something different with the power draw in the GPU.
If a single Founders card burns a cable. I will eat my underwear.

I'm so confused, okay I didn't mean to cause an argument.

Why are you confused, Sorry I'm not arguing, I'm just a bit frustrated that they are blaming cables, when there is no concrete evidence, it actually is.
Nvidia are not convinced either, that's why they are requesting AIB cards to be sent to them.
Yes, cables are burning, but that's because of the power irregularities going on through it.

I just want to know, when they tested the FE card, did they use different cables or just the one supplied with the FE card? that's all haha. I'm not biased as to whether it's the cards or the cables, I'm just curious about it.

Although my understanding of electronics is limited, I've been told that a poorly connected cable will increase the load at that point and will start generating heat. Nothing to do with the load, but all to do with the connection being poor and more power needed to bridge that poor connection which then generates the excessive heat that causes the damage.

So all to do with the quality of the connection/cable and not the device using the power.

I'll stand to be corrected of course by someone more qualified

As far as I know, they used the only cables that were on the market as of today, and that includes Nvidia supplied ones.
I'm waiting for the Cable mod one to burn out as well now, so my theory is concrete.

Considering someone has just reported a burnt new single lead 3.0 ATX 12+4 pin connector. I think the poorly connected issue is irrelevant now.
