This one? https://www.amazon.com/Agtray-Extender-12VHPWR-Connector-Extension/dp/B0BX6JBJ2K/I am using a cheap Chinese right angle 12vhpwr adapter I bought for $20.
I hate them coz they are too much for my weak grip strength but yeah, never had any other issue with them.Those things never get loose.
Do you have room in your PC case for something like this?:If I don't post a status update next year then please consider me deceased.
Some of the testers went to extremes trying to get the connector to melt but just couldnt. It appears to be a rare occurrence (relative to GPUs sold) which is sensationalized beyond the numbers reported. The testers views vary as to what could be the cause though.
Melting GeForce RTX 4090 power cables: A timeline of events
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 launch has been marred by reports of melting connectors. Here's everything you need to know about what is going on.www.pcworld.com
Utter nonsense. The cablemod adapters were firmly seated, as witnessed when the plastic fused together. We have objective evidence of this from someone that actually knows what they're talking about.You need to have it very loose in the socket, and pulled to one side.
Nah, it really isn't. Can you tell us another other tech product in recent history that had 6 instances of melting over the course of just 5 days?It appears to be a rare occurrence (relative to GPUs sold) which is sensationalized beyond the numbers reported.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cablemod/comments/14w2ob2/another_melted_adapter/Interesting. The recent spike in adapter failures all seem to be Cable mod related. Which happens to be the only adapter that features 2 x 16-pin connecting points (M/F), thus doubling its resistance points and fail potential. If any weak connecting point on either side, it will draw more power, heat and of course melt. As demonstrated by the guy in comments saying his failed adapter was where the PSU cable joins to it (see below):Nah, it really isn't. Can you tell us another other tech product in recent history that had 6 instances of melting over the course of just 5 days?
And that's just the last time I randomly checked it. In reality there's a regular stream of this occurring.
Three new ones from the last 24 hours:

Yes because they prefer to avoid a recall and let their customers deal with the consequences of their mistakes. I bet they don't even test that exhaustively anymore.So it turns out the 4090 was also silently changed.
No, I expect them to change those as well. It's a simple change as well. They just have to put the new connectors in the machine that solders on the components.Pretty cool: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/12vhpwr-safety-mechanism-rtx-4090
I doubt any of the AIBs will be allowed to incorporate this mechanism into their designs coz then they would be acknowledging that there's a problem which nGreedia refuses to admit.
It's a bit more than that. They'd need to respin the PCB to put a thermistor right by the connector and modify the BIOS, so it's a reasonably large change.No, I expect them to change those as well.

They don't have to do that at all to solder a connector on there with shorter sense pins and potentially other changes that are internal to the connector itself.It's a bit more than that.

Oh, yeah replacing the connector is pretty simple. Sorry I misunderstood you, the post and article you replied to was about using an external temperature sensor by the connector and software to shut down programs/the PC if temps get too hot.They don't have to do that at all to solder a connector on there with shorter sense pins and potentially other changes that are internal to the connector itself.
I think that the chance is very small that they will do a redesign of the PCB. They didn't do one either for the 3090 when double density VRAM became available and they had a chance to fix the excessive memory temps due to VRAM being on both sides of the card.
I just noticed their are a number of automatic fire extinguisher products on amazon.
I wonder when they will start getting integrated into PC cases?
Jensen should be forced to become honest by the authorities.Why would they risk a recall by being honest, or a lawsuit for lying?
Yes, something is seriously wrong:Jensen should be forced to become honest by the authorities.
If we let a monopoly thrive and get away with consumer fraud, something is seriously wrong.
Sorry, but Citizens United has nothing to do with JHH or consumer protections. It's not even in the same ballpark.Yes, something is seriously wrong:

This goes P & N pretty quick from here.
