Needs a thicker heatsink to account for the higher power draw IMO just like the AIB's did.

Are the 12VHPWR failures something us 3090 Ti owners should be concerned about? Have a slight horizontal bend in my adapter but had the card for a few months now with no issues presenting themselves.

Ti ones were made by a different company apparently hence hearing of no issues.

That's reassuring.
According to JayzTwoCents the 30-series had a different design (each pin has its own wire whereas on the 40-series pairs of wires are soldered to a foil bridge which appears to be *very* fragile).
Igor's Lab figured out why NVIDIA adapters are melting!

No seems the adapter for 4090s is stupidly made, the 30 series ones has a cable to each pin, where the 4090 ones doesn't have single cables to each pin and melting. Nvidia cheaped out with the connectors or their connector maker decided to cheap out or did a switcheroo from the original design.

Decided recently to switch on the 3090Ti's ECC memory setting in the Nvidia driver and apparently WoW does not like it, Gives me an odd DirectX error randomly every 5-10 minutes, Turn it off and it never happens.
I wonder if it's a game compatibility problem or ECC not being properly implemented in the driver.

Best to keep it turned off anyway (unless you're looking to harden your 3090 Ti against cosmic rays
) - enabling ECC will reduce your memory bandwidth.

Wondering how many of the 3090TI owners eventually upgraded to the 4090. With only a 60 Hz screen, not sure if I would really spot the different although that would be great for rendering in Blender. I cannot spend $2000 every 6 months.
